In February of 2013, Sikorsky Innovations announced EvoLux Technologies Winner of its 2nd Global E-Challenge for our approach to solving some of the helicopter charter industry’s most challenging issues. EvoLux moved from Boca Raton, Florida to work along side Sikorsky Innovations at the Stamford Innovation Center in Connecticut where we were awarded technology development grants, raised outside seed capital, and transformed our prototype system into a nationwide, PCT patent-pending charter reservation environment and operator booking platform. Sikorsky became EvoLux’s first data license customer and during this time the EvoLux team on-boarded northeast helicopter operators, helicopter friendly destination channel partners, and developed strategic partnerships with BMW and Rolls-Royce Motor Cars for “Fly & Drive” track events to launch our beta reservation platform in 3 key US markets. Since then EvoLux’s charter and tour reservation platform has expanded nationwide and served as Vertiport Chicago’s reservation platform.

Historically, EvoLux’s booking platform focused on regional helicopter charter and tours, but has since expanded to a mixed fleet of propeller and amphibious aircraft, as well as light, mid, and heavy jet aircraft operators. EvoLux’s SKYSHARE™ platform enables travelers to aggregate on common routes, and in event specific destination groups, in order to collaborate on shared chartered flights at seat prices comparable to commercial air travel.

As the world is constantly changing, so is EvoLux, and through the successful application of many direct to consumer, proof-of-concept (B2C) business and partnership models, EvoLux Technologies now feels that we can better service the industry as a whole by transitioning our B2C focused air charter platform towards empowering aircraft owners, operators and brokers with multiple B2B Software-as-a-Service tools and user experiences.
