What software (jeppesen?) do private air charter brokers use to prepare quotes? (based on given p/h rates)?



This is actually more complicated then you think.
There are air carriers, air charter companies & brokers, and just 3rd party brokers.
The difference is how each sells its service. Air Carriers simply provide an aircraft for a price. Air charter companies will operate aircraft of their own and also have contracts with other carriers to be able to offer a vast fleet of varying aircraft. Brokers have no actual invested intrest other than to negoatie rates with carriers , add a management fee, and sell that aircraft to a customer.
What goes into actual pricing is quite complicated.
Most carriers price their aircraft based on miles, not so much on actual flight time (altough any helicopter company will charge an hourly rate). The routing also determines the price,as longer flight legs are cheaper per hour for the air carrier. The longer the total flight, the cheaper the rate per mile. With very short distances, usually less than 300sm between legs, their is an added short leg fee to offset the increased fuel costs to fly this leg due to aircrafts do not get to fly at optimal altitude, but rather have to fly at the mid to high 'teens.
Next is future business trends. Can the air carrier sell a one way with a good possiblity of getting another trip. Usually trips to the border (LRD or ELP) will be billed one way, as the potential to get another trip out of Mexico will be highly likely, and can generate alot of revenue.
Next is fleet location, number of aircrafts available, and business levels. Supply and Demand 101, if business levels are high, its a name your price, if slow, its flying for fuel and a very small profit margin.
Many companies that operate air craft use a program designed for their company, some use jeppeson, and some use NavPak. They all do the same function, calcualate straight line distance from point to point. The distance is based on their billed route, based on business levels and where they want to aircraft to go after the revenue trip is done.
