Goals for 2020
"At Pilota, our goal is to get corporate and luxury travelers to their important destinations on time.
"To date, we have built out the first version of our product and our goal for the rest of the year is to work with travel management companies and travel managers to protect their clients flights during the holiday season.
"The next few months are amongst the most frustrating for flight delays and cancellations and we want to not only deploy our product to show travelers and their travel managers/travel management companies the benefits that it can bring to them."
