Pilots familiar with OpenAirplane, the service that created a universal rental-pilot system, will see FlyOtto, a new Web-based charter booking service, as a no-brainer. But FlyOtto creators Rod Rakic and Adam Fast wanted to focus FlyOtto on people who don’t know the first thing about chartering an airplane. Rakic told Flying, “People using FlyOtto may not even realize they have a GA airport nearby as an alternative departure point.” FlyOtto wants to make chartering as simple and information-driven as ordering an Uber car, Rakic said.
