SkedFlex Flight Planning
Configuration, not customization.
Every airline operates differently – so why settle for a one-size-fits-all system or pay for expensive customization?
SkedFlex Flight Planning adapts to your operation, with the configuration done by your team – ensuring you get the results required without the need for expensive customization.
✈️ Tailor workflows to your airline’s specific needs.
✈️ Simplify operations with an intuitive, flexible interface.
✈️ Avoid costly system overhauls with parameters you set.
The SkedFlex Flight Planning and Dispatch system is designed for next-generation aviation operations
The SkedFlex Flight Planning and Dispatch system is designed for next-generation aviation operations. More than just a routing tool, it’s a fully cloud-based platform that brings together route optimization, advanced fuel efficiency tools, real-time weather visualization, and seamless integration with your airline operations ecosystem.
Built on open architecture, SkedFlex Flight Planning interfaces effortlessly with other aviation systems. It enhances situational awareness through graphical and text-based weather overlays and alerts tailored to your operation. From cost index flight planning to advanced trajectory management, our solution gives you the tools to plan smarter, adapt faster, and fly more efficiently.
With powerful configuration—not costly customization—administrators can control rules, preferences, policies, briefing formats, and user workflows directly through an intuitive interface. That means faster implementation of your processes.
Because SkedFlex Flight Planning is deeply integrated with our FCMS system, flight planning stays in sync with crew status, legality, aircraft availability, and real-time operational changes. Flight Planners and Dispatchers can adjust to last-minute changes without missing a beat, and crews get updates pushed directly to their SkedFlex mobile app.
Whether you’re running scheduled airline ops or high-stakes on-demand flights, SkedFlex Flight Planning gives you the control, insight, and speed to make smarter decisions, reduce workload, and ensure every flight takes off with confidence.
FD Server
FDServer is the integration point for the system. Our open architecture allows for easy integration with other software used by airlines and other flight operations departments.
User Interface
The UI is highly configurable to provide the ability for Flight Planners and Dispatchers to set up their environment to accommodate their own processes and workflow.
Flight Plan Engine
The Engine calculates the optimized flight plan based on aircraft performance data, user inputs, wind and temperature data, along with any constraints that must be considered while calculating the plan.
Administrator Console
The web-based Administrator Console is the User Interface for Administrators to configure the system for their specific requirements.
Flight Following
Enhance operational awareness by displaying in-progress flights on a chart with weather text and graphical overlays.
Frequently Asked Questions About Flight Planning
What makes your flight planning system different from other providers?
Our system combines advanced flight planning capabilities with an intuitive, modern interface — all at a fraction of the cost of legacy systems. We offer full support for domestic and international operations, including ETOPS, and performance-based planning, with unmatched flexibility and speed.
How do you handle weather and NOTAMs?
We ingest real-time weather (METAR, TAF, Pireps, winds, SIGMETs) and NOTAMs directly from the FAA System Wide Information Management (SWIM) datafeed service into the planning engine. Dispatchers can view current conditions on an interactive map and adjust plans accordingly.
Can it integrate with our other systems?
Yes. We offer robust APIs and standard interfaces for integration with scheduling, crew, maintenance, and operational control systems — including seamless integration with SkedFlex FCMS.
How long does it take to implement your system?
Most customers are up and running within a few months. Our onboarding includes training, data setup, and performance profile tuning to ensure smooth transition from your current system.
What kind of support do you offer?
We provide 24/7 technical support, ongoing training, and access to our expert dispatch and engineering team. You’ll always get fast, knowledgeable responses from people who understand flight operations.
Do you provide runway analysis and drifdown calculations?
We have two partners that we integrate with for Runway Analysis and Driftdown. Both Aerodata and ASAP are supported in our system to provide the data that is used in calculating the flight plan.
