As months passed, it became an exhaustive process in dealing with a trade organization that was on the B2B bandwagon--yet moved so slowly. After we learned many IATA's members leased aircraft, and had no need of the service we were offering, we recommended to IATA that they should market the Web site to other more promising markets within the commercial aviation sector.

It will now be much easier and less expensive for BIDjet to handle all aircraft sales through one domain--BIDjet."
