Airline Operations Software for Smaller Airlines
Keep every flight, aircraft and crew decision connected.
Run scheduled and ad-hoc operations from a single operational flight record. FlightStratix brings timetable publishing, day-of-operations control, crew pairings, dispatch checks, station handling and sector reporting into one workspace for smaller and regional airlines.
When the schedule changes, every department feels it
A delayed aircraft affects the next sector. A crew change affects duty limits. A station delay affects departure readiness. Fx Airline Ops gives controllers the operational context to review changes before they ripple through the flying day.
Built around the way you work
Each capability is part of the connected FlightStratix workspace.
Plan and publish flight schedules
Manage routes, operating seasons and recurring flight series. Preview the effect of amendments before publishing. Import supported SSIM type-3 flight-leg records into draft series for review.
Keep aircraft rotations workable
See sectors by tail, identify station mismatches, short turns and overlaps, and review downstream effects before applying retimes or aircraft changes.
Run the day from the OCC
Open every operational flight, assign aircraft and crew, capture delays, cancellations, diversions and OUT/OFF/ON/IN actuals. Keep operational changes visible in the flight record.
Release flights with checks in place
Review configured aircraft, crew, technical, station and handling requirements. Create dispatch releases and collect assigned PIC acceptance where enabled.
From start to finish
Airline operations from published schedule to operated sector
A schedule is a plan. Your operations centre needs to manage what happens when reality changes.
Timetable control without losing the operating flight
Maintain routes, seasons and recurring flight series with local departures and airport time zones. Review draft amendments against the existing series before you publish. Flight-date exceptions and supported SSIM type-3 imports provide a structured way to adjust flying without hand-editing every operational sector.
Aircraft and crew decisions in the same place
Open a flight from the OCC and see its assigned aircraft, crew and operation type. Proposed crew assignments can be checked before saving, while shared personnel records and FTL controls remain accessible through the relevant crew tools. The operational flight remains the reference for subsequent dispatch review.
Dispatch gates before release
Dispatchers can inspect current technical findings, assigned crew, configured curfews, required handling and briefing requirements. A release is generated after checks, with pilot acceptance available to the assigned PIC. A material change can reopen review.
Close the loop on actuals and performance
Record delays, reasons, cancellations, diversions and OUT/OFF/ON/IN times against the operated flight. Review completion factor, punctuality, aircraft utilisation and costs by currency, with underlying sector information still accessible.
The operational detail behind every flight
A schedule series is not the flight that actually operates
Fx Airline Ops separates recurring schedule definitions from dated operational flight instances. The planning team maintains routes, seasons, local departure times, service patterns and exceptions, then previews proposed publication changes before they affect eligible flights. Importing supported SSIM type-3 flight-leg records creates draft series for review, with airport-code mapping and import findings visible before publication.
The OCC records operational decisions, not only flight status
Open a dated flight to see its carrier, flight number, airport pair, planned UTC times, operation type, aircraft and crew. The operational drawer supports retiming with delay code, delay minutes and reason, cancellations with a reason, diversion airport, and OUT/OFF/ON/IN actuals. Proposed crew assignments are checked before they are saved. Flight changes use revision expectations to detect an edit based on an outdated copy of the record.
Release readiness combines several departments’ inputs
Dispatch review can inspect crew and aircraft readiness, station curfews, handling requirements, technical findings and required briefing material. A release is prepared against the current flight state; relevant checks are evaluated again around signing and assigned-PIC acceptance. Material changes can reopen the review, so a prior approval is not treated as permanently valid after an operational change.
Airline crew control is linked but retains its own specialist workflows
Crew planning includes multi-leg pairings, base and timezone assignments, ground duties, reserve call-outs, roster publication and crew swap requests. The wider Crew Management tools hold qualifications, endorsements and flight-time-limit data. For a regional carrier, the distinction is valuable: the airline OCC owns the operated sector, while crew control owns whether the assigned people, duties and coverage remain workable. Link directly to crew management and flight duty tracking for those specialist capabilities.
Report what actually happened to the flying day
Airline reporting includes scheduled and operated flight counts, completion factor, departure D0/D15, arrival A15, delays and cancellation reasons. Sector economics can record fuel uplift, fuel burn and individual sector costs, then report by aircraft, route or currency.
Keep the timetable and operating day connected.
Publish a plan the OCC can work from
Review the proposed timetable and aircraft rotations before publishing flights into the operational day. The schedule establishes the plan; the OCC then needs the operating record to manage resource changes and capture what actually happened.
Explore airline schedulingReview downstream effects before changing a flight
A retime can affect the next sector, the aircraft position and the crew assignment. Review those dependencies before applying a change, then keep the decision visible on the affected operating flight.

See it in context
A rotation disrupted by an inbound delay
A flight running late into the base threatens the next departure. The controller reviews the affected aircraft’s later sectors, checks available alternatives and previews knock-on retiming. Crew control reviews the changed duties, while dispatch sees any release gate that requires fresh attention. The updated flight retains its reason, timing change and later actuals; the report can distinguish the original delay from a reactionary delay on the following sector. See aircraft rotation management and airline disruption management.
An operational example
A morning service is retimed after the aircraft arrives late. The controller opens the OCC flight, checks the aircraft and assigned crew, reviews the effect on the next sector and records a reason for the change. Dispatch reviews any newly affected gates; after the flight, the team enters OOOI actuals and uses the report to understand the disruption.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can a small airline start without a separate passenger reservation platform?
Yes, if the requirement is operational control. Fx Airline Ops manages flight instances and operational passenger figures; it should be assessed separately from any ticketing, bookings or departure-control system.
Will a changed timetable overwrite flown sectors?
The schedule workflow previews publication effects and restricts changes to eligible unoperated flights.
Is this a passenger reservation or ticketing system?
No. Fx Airline Ops manages operational flights and passenger figures where configured; the source reference does not establish a reservations, ticketing or complete DCS suite.
Can crew scheduling and flight operations be connected?
Yes. Airline crew planning includes pairings, reserve call-outs, roster publication and swap requests, with shared crew records and configured checks.
Does it support SSIM?
It supports the documented SSIM type-3 flight-leg import workflow into draft series; this is not a claim of every SSIM record or message type.
