Crew Operations Platform

One system for the entire crew lifecycle.

The problem

Crew scheduling is where an airline's rules, fatigue limits and daily disruptions all collide at once. Most carriers still run it on spreadsheets and phone calls.

What it does

Six operational domains, one platform.

Each role sees exactly the workspace it needs. Every action is checked, recorded and enforced on the server, not just in the browser.

01 · Engine

Automated roster generation

Turn a weekly route template into a fully-crewed monthly roster in one click, built the way crews actually fly.

›

Duty-unit intelligence

Groups legs into layovers, same-day chains, round-trips and singles automatically, splitting rotations at aircraft-type changes.

›

Deadhead positioning

Repositions crew as passengers when needed, then rides them home. Every option is checked for legality before it's used.

›

Standby & guardia

Fills reserve shifts across bases and rotates them fairly; calls up standby crew only as a last resort to close a gap.

›

Fairness balancing

Spreads block hours and hotel nights evenly across each crew group, and auto-rotates weekends off, coverage-aware.

02 · Compliance

Legality enforced, not assumed

Every assignment is measured against the same rulebook, and the roster is re-checked live against real-world delays.

03 · Crew

Self-service for every crew member

Pilots and cabin crew carry their whole roster in their pocket. They handle the routine themselves.

›

Personal schedule & calendar

Their duties, layovers and days off on any device, always current with the published roster.

›

Swaps & day-off requests

Crew request changes in-app; scheduling approves or declines with a full trail.

›

Duty sign-in

One-tap check-in on report, feeding the operations sign-in board in real time.

›

Self-service account & security

Activate an account, change a password and enrol two-step verification without a call to the office.

04 · Operations

Control from report to arrival

The live operational layer: who's on duty, what actually happened, and what it does to the rest of the day.

›

Post-flight logging

Fuel, block and flight times, passengers and special service captured leg by leg by the operations controller.

›

Delay logging & knock-on

Log a delay once; downstream flights retime and the roster is re-checked for legality automatically.

›

Sign-in dashboard

Who has signed in, who's overdue, coverage by base and role, grouped by urgency and live for the day.

›

Automated reminders

Crew past their report time get an automatic push reminder to sign in. Manual reminders and overrides stay on hand.

05 · Readiness

Documents & crew readiness

Chief Pilot and Chief Cabin Crew dashboards that keep every licence, medical and passport current.

›

Readiness scoring

Each crew member scored on core documents — licence, medical, passport — with expiries surfaced at a glance.

›

Secure document uploads

Scanned licences, medicals and passports stored privately and attached to the crew member's record.

›

Expiry alerts & reminders

Everything expiring, grouped by urgency, with one-tap renewal reminders straight to the crew member.

›

Append-only audit log

Every document change recorded server-side with exact before/after values. It can't be edited or deleted.

06 · Security & access

Checked on the server, from login to database.

Crew data and operational records are protected at every layer, with access decided on the server for every single request.
