Big Bird Aviation Expands Travel Services Through AirValet Partnership

Aug 27
2 min read

Big Bird Aviation has expanded its travel services through a partnership with AirValet, adding premium commercial airline booking alongside its private aviation offering.


The new service gives corporate teams, groups, families and individual travellers access to Business Class airline bookings for domestic and international journeys. Clients can now compare private aviation and premium commercial options according to their schedule, destination, passenger requirements and budget—with one point of contact throughout the planning process.


More travel options through one point of contact


Every trip has different operational and financial considerations. Private aviation can be particularly valuable for time-sensitive itineraries, group transportation, destinations with limited scheduled service and journeys that require greater flexibility.


Business Class airline travel can be an effective alternative when a private aircraft is not required. Through AirValet, Big Bird Aviation can coordinate premium scheduled-airline bookings while continuing to arrange private charter solutions through licensed operators in its international network.


“Every journey has different operational, scheduling, and financial considerations,” said Matthew Woodland, Chief Operating Officer of Big Bird Aviation. “This partnership allows the company to provide clients with both private aviation and premium commercial options while maintaining one point of contact throughout the planning process.”

Choosing between private and commercial aviation


Big Bird Aviation reviews each travel request individually. Factors may include passenger count, route, luggage requirements, preferred departure time, cabin needs, airport suitability and available budget.


A private aircraft may be appropriate for one portion of a journey, while scheduled Business Class service may be better suited to another. Corporate travel departments may also need different solutions depending on the destination, number of travellers and timing of each trip.


Support may include aircraft selection, scheduling, passenger coordination, catering requests, ground transportation and communication before departure. The addition of commercial booking expands this support to a broader range of domestic and international itineraries.


Serving travellers across Canada and beyond


Based in Toronto, Big Bird Aviation supports business meetings, conferences, special events, group movements, personal travel and other domestic or international requirements. The company serves clients across Canada and coordinates travel throughout North America and international markets.


The AirValet partnership complements Big Bird Aviation’s private charter services rather than replacing them. It reflects a practical approach to travel planning: choosing the most appropriate solution for each journey while maintaining coordinated support.


Premium commercial airline booking is now available for qualifying domestic and international travel requests.
