The Operations Platform for Air Operators

Run every flight from request to receipt - in one system.

SkyTrade Operator is where a charter, medevac, cargo or tour operator runs its whole operation. Bookings, Operations, Fleet, Crew, Safety & Compliance, Maintenance, Dispatch, Flight Support, Pilots, Finance, HR and your executives each work on their own screen - on the same mission, with every check enforced before the aircraft moves.

The Problem

Your operation runs on hope right now.

Not because your team isn't good - because the tools weren't built for this. Every operator we've talked to describes some version of the same day.

A mission moves forward on memory, not proof.

Someone has to remember to check the aircraft's certificate, the crew's duty hours, whether the reservation is actually free - before every single flight. One missed check is a grounded aircraft or worse.

Nobody has the full picture at once.

Dispatch knows one thing, finance knows another, HQ finds out last. By the time a blocked mission gets escalated, it's already late.

Need an aircraft you don't have? Good luck.

You know other operators who might have the right aircraft free - but finding out means calling around and hoping you're not the second person to ask.

Invoicing a client means starting from scratch, again.

The quote lives in an email, the invoice gets built by hand, and the receipt is whatever you remember to send. Every step is a chance to get something wrong.

How We Fix It

One system that catches what a spreadsheet can't.

Not another records system with a workflow bolted on - a workflow system, with the records to back it up.

Nothing Gets SkippedA mission can't move forward if a required check hasn't happened - not a checklist someone can forget, a rule the system enforces.
One Version of the TruthDispatch, finance, and HQ are all looking at the same live picture - not three different spreadsheets that disagree.
No More "Who Has It?"Aircraft and crew reservations can't be double-booked by two people racing each other - the system won't let it happen.
Compliance Catches ItselfExpiring certificates and duty limits show up before they're a problem, not after someone notices the hard way.
Everyone Sees What Everyone Else SeesNo more finding out something changed because someone forgot to mention it in a group chat.
A Real Record, AlwaysEvery change is logged and can't be quietly edited - useful the one time you actually need to know exactly what happened.
Safety and Compliance mission desk: only the flights that need a decision, with the fix one click away
How It Works

One mission. Every role. Nothing skipped.

Each team does its part on its own screen - and the mission only moves on when that part is really done.

From Executive to Pilot

Every role gets the screen it actually needs.

Twelve roles, one system. Pick a role to see what they work with every day.

Executive dashboard in SkyTrade Operator
Executive

See the whole operation without asking for an update.

One overview across every branch: what's flying, what's stuck, and what it's earning - so you step in before a problem becomes a cancelled flight.

  • Every mission at every stage, across all branches
  • Blockers named plainly - an expiring certificate, a crew member out of hours, a partner waiting on a reply
  • Revenue invoiced against revenue paid
  • Your company profile, people, terms and records in one place
Operations dashboard in SkyTrade Operator
Operations

Run the mission board, not the phone.

Missions move through the same steps every time and can't skip one, so nothing reaches the ramp half-prepared.

  • Requested → aircraft → crew → compliance → dispatch, on one board
  • Client change requests handled in the open, not in a chat
  • Requests from Safety & Compliance for a different aircraft land here
  • Short an aircraft? Borrow one from a trusted partner
Bookings dashboard in SkyTrade Operator
Bookings

Turn a request into a booked mission in minutes.

Requests arrive in one queue whether they came from your website, an email or a phone call - and the quote turns into the invoice without anyone retyping it.

  • Website bookings flow straight in through the booking API
  • Quote → invoice → receipt, with the numbers carried over
  • Your branding and your terms on every document
  • The client accepts online with one click
Fleet Management dashboard in SkyTrade Operator
Fleet Management

Know which aircraft can fly today.

Every aircraft's state in one place - available, on a mission, in maintenance or grounded - and no aircraft can be promised twice.

  • Live status, where each aircraft is, and time to the next check
  • Reservations that can't be double-booked
  • Borrow or lend aircraft with trusted operators - first to lock it gets it
  • Assign aircraft and crew to missions
Crew Management dashboard in SkyTrade Operator
Crew Management

Put the right crew on every flight - rated, current and rested.

Duty hours, ratings, licences and medicals are kept up to date for you, so the roster never relies on someone's memory.

  • Duty hours counted automatically against limits
  • Licence and medical expiry warnings ahead of time
  • Crew profiles linked to their HR record
Safety and Compliance dashboard in SkyTrade Operator

  • Approve or reject Maintenance's inspections and release to service
  • Downloadable templates; HR and Flight Support see records read-only
Maintenance dashboard in SkyTrade Operator

Your records, approved and on the aircraft's file.

  • Only approved records count towards the aircraft's state
  • Holds and a full log of what changed
  • Templates to download, fill and upload

The Operator Network · Only On SkyTrade

Short an aircraft? Borrow one from an operator you trust.

SkyTrade Operator doesn't stop at your own hangar. Operators on the platform connect with each other, share their fleets, and borrow or lend aircraft in a few clicks - with the price agreed up front and the aircraft locked in, so nobody is ever double-booked.

  1. 1
    Connect

    Find operators on the network - or take a suggestion - and connect. Both sides agree, and accept the B2B terms, before anything is shared.

  2. 2
    Share what you choose

    For each partner you decide whether they see your fleet. Publish hourly prices: wet lease (aircraft with crew, maintenance and insurance) or dry lease (aircraft only), with a minimum of hours.

  3. 3
    Ask

    Request a specific aircraft from a partner's fleet, or send one request to borrow to every connected operator at once. Crew and ground services can be requested too.

  4. 4
    Lock it in

    The first operator to accept gets the booking, and the aircraft is reserved for those dates - it can't be promised to anyone else.

  5. 5
    Fly and settle

    The borrowed aircraft flies your mission, and the charge is recorded at the agreed price so Finance sees exactly what is owed.

The B2B screen: a partner's shared fleet with wet and dry lease prices, your connections, a request to borrow and your own lending prices
Operations → B2B: a partner's shared fleet and prices, your connections, an open request to borrow and your own lending prices.
Turn away fewer clients

Fully booked on a Friday? Borrow the aircraft you're missing instead of saying no.

Earn from idle aircraft

An aircraft sitting on the ramp can fly for a partner - at the price you set.

Across regions

A Nairobi operator can borrow from a partner in Kampala or Mombasa as easily as from the hangar next door.

Private by default

No one sees your fleet or prices unless you connect and choose to share.

The Difference

Why teams switch and don't switch back.

Ask the people who'd actually use it every day, not just the person who signs off on it.

Less Chasing People Down

Dispatch isn't calling finance to ask if something's approved yet - it's already visible to both.

Fewer "How Did We Miss That?" Moments

Compliance and duty checks happen automatically, not because someone remembered at the right time.

Less Time Rebuilding the Same Document

A quote becomes an invoice becomes a receipt - nobody's retyping the same numbers three times.

New Staff Ramp Up Faster

The system tells them what's next, instead of them having to learn who to ask and what to check.

Multi-Region & Enterprise

Run three bases? You shouldn't need three phone calls to know how they're doing.

One HQ view across every branch - which missions are stuck, whose compliance is slipping, which partner requests keep getting ignored. You see it as it happens, not when someone remembers to mention it.

Dispatch & Flight Support

Release a flight with the weather, the route and the fleet in front of you.

Every mission comes with its own briefing: current weather reports and forecasts for the departure and arrival airports, the flight category at each end, delays and a route check. And your own fleet is on one screen - where each aircraft is right now, and where it has flown.
