Global flight trip support services provider Flight Pro International (FPI) is celebrating its fifth anniversary.&nbsp;The Houston-based company traces its roots to Air Routing International (ARI), which introduced specialized services for VIP operators in the late 1970s before being acquired in the early 2000s and eventually reestablished as FPI in 2020.
Most of FPI’s staff have direct connections to ARI, and the company stated that the same emphasis on personalized service continues to define its operations. “Whether traveling popular routes or unusual destinations, we aim to alleviate the pain points our clients experienced before bringing FPI on as a dedicated extension of their flight departments,” noted FPI president and COO Matt Pahl.
FPI also notes that its workforce composition includes U.S. military veterans and seasoned industry professionals. The company said this mix, combined with long-term partner relationships, has contributed to consistently high customer feedback.
Its meteorology group manages real-time flight planning and flight watch, while compliance specialists track regulatory changes worldwide. The company’s special services network of global vendors offers options for ground handling, fuel, and customs coordination.
FPI’s technology platform—FlightProConnect—offers schedulers and pilots a consolidated operations tool with mobile features including trip planning queries, messaging, and offline access.
