Aircraft Reservation Systems
Pilot Features and Benefits
- Easy to use -- Simple, intuitive, and unique click-to-reserve design.
- Configuratble for hourly and/or daily reservations. Any sets or groups of hours up to all 24 can be configured to be offered for reservations. Individual aircraft can have their own configurable set of available hours.
- Password protected so only you can make or cancel your reservations.
- Forgot your password? No problem. On request, the system will e-mail your password only to you. You may change your password at any time.
- Availability view is user configurable to show from one to 31 days of availability information for all the planes in a group starting at any specified date. Unlike other systems which show when an aircraft is already reserved and thus force users to figure out when the plane is actually available, our system gives them what they really need. They don't care so much to see that a plane is not available, they want to quickly see when a plane is available. Availability is displayed symbolically and with color so it is easy to use regardless of how many reservations exist.
- Reservation view shows availability and existing reservations for a specific plane on the day of interest and allows reserving, canceling, or wait-listing multiple hours or full days.
- Waiting lists. If the plane you want is already reserved you can put yourself on a waiting list and, depending on the configuration, automatically be assigned the reservation when a cancellation occurs or be notified via e-mail when it becomes available.
- Make reservations up to two years in advance.
- E-mail confirmations of each reservation or cancellation are sent both to the pilot and the system manager. Pilots may have multiple e-mail addresses.
