UAS International Trip Support has launched a platform to help flight departments plan, manage, and track missions. The UAE-based group launched the GTMx system yesterday at the NBAA Schedulers &amp; Dispatchers Conference in Cleveland.&nbsp;Operators will be able to use GTMx on mobile devices, and the platform features a redesigned user interface.
According to UAS executive v-p for the U.S. Abdul Charafeddin, clients will be able to create and submit trips with just three simple steps in a process that will eliminate fragmented workflows involving complex email chains.&nbsp;In addition to real-time trip status, GTMx also includes data covering airport access, immigration requirements, weather, and notams, as well as allowing operators to monitor their fleet on a single dashboard. The platform provides users with alerts and notifications and has a live chat function to help staff collaborate on workflows without depending on emails or separate messaging platforms.
UAS said GTMx can be integrated with multiple scheduling systems, including Avianis, PFM, and Leon. The company plans to add further features, such as AI-powered analytics, fleet and schedule optimization, global resource integration, and cost and carbon reduction tools.
“By combining real-time visibility, streamlined workflows, and intuitive mobile-first design, GTMx empowers operations teams to plan, manage, and execute trips with unprecedented speed, clarity, and confidence,” said UAS founder and executive president Mohammed Husary.
