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 — and 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 — and 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 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 — and 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, live for the day.

Automated reminders

Crew past their report time get an automatic push reminder to sign in — with manual reminders and overrides 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

Enterprise-grade, from login to database.

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