Travel Operations for Low-Cost Airlines

A lean, powerful platform to control crew travel costs, automate manual work, and manage disruptions without the overhead of enterprise software.

The LCC Challenge: Scaling Without The Cost Burden

High Manual Workload

Your lean operations team spends too much time on manual bookings for crew duty travel, training, and positioning.

IROPS Budget Blowouts

A single disruption event leads to chaotic, expensive re-bookings, hotel scrambles, and uncontrolled spending.

Lack of Cost Control

It is difficult to enforce travel policies, track spend in real-time, and prevent budget leakage from out-of-policy bookings.

Inefficient Processes

Reliance on spreadsheets, email, and phone calls to manage crew logistics creates errors and slows down your operation.

Fragmented Supplier Management

Juggling different booking portals and payment methods for hotels and transport leads to lost savings and reconciliation headaches.

Poor Data Visibility

You lack a single source of truth for crew travel data, making it hard to analyze costs and identify opportunities for savings.

A Lean Platform for Agile Operations

Aggressive Cost Control

Implement hard-stop travel policies, spending limits, and budget guardrails that prevent overspending before it happens.

Automated Duty Travel

Connect to your rostering system to automatically book required flights and hotels for crew, reducing manual work by over 90%.

Streamlined IROPS Response

Use pre-built playbooks to manage disruptions. Re-book hotels and transport for all affected crew in minutes.

LCC-Friendly Hotel Inventory

Access a global inventory of hotels, including budget-friendly options and your own negotiated rates, all in one place.

Centralized Payments

Simplify reconciliation with virtual cards, direct billing to a central account, and detailed, GL-coded financial reports.

Real-time Spend Visibility

A live dashboard shows you exactly what is being spent, by whom, and for what reason, giving you total financial control.

Rapid Implementation

Go live in weeks, not months. Our lightweight platform is designed for lean teams and requires minimal IT resources to deploy.

Scalable by Design

Our platform grows with you, whether you are adding new routes, new bases, or new aircraft, without adding to your overhead.

From Disruption to Resolution in Minutes

Step 1

Detect

A flight cancellation alert is received from an integrated flight data feed, automatically triggering an IROPS event.

Step 2

Identify

The platform instantly flags all crew members scheduled for that flight and identifies their re-accommodation needs.

Step 3

Execute Playbook

An OCC agent triggers a pre-configured 'Cancellation' playbook with one click, initiating automated re-booking actions.

Step 4

Book Accommodations

The system automatically searches for and books compliant hotels and ground transport from a list of preferred, cost-effective suppliers.

Step 5

Notify Crew

All affected crew members immediately receive new itinerary details, hotel confirmations, and transport info via SMS and in-app notifications.

Step 6

Track Costs

All costs associated with the disruption—hotels, transport, fees—are automatically tagged to the event for precise financial analysis.
