AirWE Connects is a Global platform for flight travelers and expats living abroad. We address two significant pain points: Travel Companion and Parcel Delivery.
Travel Companion: Many travelers, such as elderly grandparents, mothers with young children, pregnant women, and first-time travelers, seek a helping hand during their journeys. They face challenges like health issues, language barriers, navigating busy airports, or needing companionship.
Parcel Delivery: Expats living abroad often need to send or receive items from their home countries, such as snacks, clothes, toys, medicines, documents, or gifts. They typically rely on courier services, which come with various limitations like high costs, weight restrictions, and lengthy delivery times.
To tackle these issues, AirWE Connects travelers needing services with those offering them. Users can post ads, connect, chat, negotiate services, and make payments through our platform. AirWE Connects charges a commission for facilitating these transactions.
The number of expats and travelers is growing daily. Worldwide, there are approximately 1.5 billion flight travelers annually and 40 million daily.
According to the Sources, 32 million Indians are living overseas and 4.5 million Indians are in the USA alone.
Looking ahead three years, even with a conservative estimate of just 1 million users, and a minimum service fee of $2-$4, AirWE could generate revenues of up to $6M million.
