Fly Local's customers are also likely to appreciate the company's commitment to driving traffic to local air carriers, thereby supporting the local economy. Read More
Solution	The solution came in the form of Bubble, a leader in the no-code movement. Bubble's powerful point-and-click web editor and cloud hosting platform allowed the Fly Local team to build a full stack web application. The platform's well-supported plugins, integral relational database, and the ability to leverage the API Connector provided the team with a great deal of flexibility. The team designed a map-centric user interface that prompts users to click on a map marker or type a search to designate an origin and destination. This user flow then reveals the traveler’s options for booking and allows them to click through to the air carrier’s website to complete the process. The platform's capabilities also made it easy for the team to update the sophisticated database, despite their small staff and the time-sensitive nature of their data.
