Travel management specialist MyFlight Advisor launched a scheduling service developed specifically for Part 91 flight departments. Under the program, the company is making its schedulers available to private aircraft operators on an as-needed basis.
MyFlight Advisor, which is run by a team with extensive experience in private aviation, mainly provides scheduling, trip support, and operational oversight for corporations, wealthy individuals and family offices. Its new service is intended to apply its expertise to support flight departments during busy periods or when they are short-staffed due to vacations or medical leave.
According to the company, tasks include updating aircraft and crew schedules, arranging logistics, and coordinating ground transportation, catering and ground handling by coordinating with FBOs and other service providers. It will also monitor notams and weather conditions, as well as arranging international permits and customs arrangements, supported by multiple scheduling software platforms.
“One thing that is often in short supply with flight departments is peace-of-mind,” said Jeffrey Reis, the Miami-based company’s founder and CEO. “Pilots should focus on flying—not chasing logistics, and schedulers need the resources to be informative, timely and nimble. With MyFlight Advisor, you gain a reliable scheduling partner who keeps the operation moving, safely and efficiently.”
