NEW YORK, Dec. 7, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Fareportal, the travel technology company behind leading online travel agencies CheapOair and OneTravel has announced the addition of aha! to the over 600 air carriers already available via the company's online websites. The brands were the first of the major OTA's to be selected as a preferred partner and reach an agreement with the new airline. aha! went live on CheapOair and OneTravel in late November of this year.

Werner Kunz-Cho, CEO of Fareportal, shares his thoughts, "Air service to smaller communities has reduced over the last decade, and yet consumer demand for regional travel options continues.

We are extremely pleased to partner with aha! to provide this needed service to the traveling public."
Subodh Karnik, Chairman and CEO of Expressjet states, "Fareportal is a travel technology innovator, and we appreciate Cheapoair & OneTravel's ability to provide travelers with easy-to-book, customized air travel solutions.
