AIMS Airline Software

Managing airline operations is a dynamic and complex process that requires precision and efficiency. From planning flight schedules to handling crew assignments and ensuring compliance with stringent aviation regulations, airlines are constantly optimizing their operations to meet evolving demands. Turning operations into opportunities for growth requires more than just the right tools—it demands a trusted partner with deep industry expertise.

AIMS Airline Software delivers an all-in-one solution designed specifically for the complexities of modern aviation. By empowering airlines to streamline operations, reduce costs, and maximize efficiency, the company helps its clients stay agile, competitive, and ready to meet the industry’s evolving demands.

Effortless Crew Management and Real-Time Updates

The team at AIMS Airline Software has a deep understanding of the aviation industry and recognizes that creating flight schedules for the upcoming season is a complex balancing act. Airlines must align operational capacity with passenger demand while also managing aircraft schedules, ensuring planes are available and properly maintained, and avoiding conflicts. Perhaps the most challenging aspect is crew scheduling—managing hundreds or even thousands of employees while adhering to strict regulations set by authorities like the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA). These regulations govern flight time limitations and mandatory rest periods, making compliance non-negotiable.

“We simplify these processes by offering an intuitive platform that automates scheduling and checks for regulatory compliance in real time. This ensures airlines can generate legal schedules without the risk of human error,” says Glen Bethanis, MD and Head of Strategic Planning at AIMS Airline Software.

For crew management, AIMS Airline Software tracks everything from flight hours to mandatory training and vacation requests. It provides a self-service portal that allows crew members to request vacations, bid for schedules, and receive real-time updates through mobile notifications. Crew members can also view their assigned instructors, flight details, and fellow crew members—all from their mobile devices.

In addition to crew management, the company offers tools to handle hotel and travel arrangements. Its engine calculates the number of rooms needed and arranges travel logistics, ensuring that crew members are accommodated throughout their assignments. These features dramatically reduce manual work and help airlines save both time and money by minimizing delays and improving overall efficiency. AIMS Airline Software also automates expense tracking, simplifying the reimbursement process for crew members and helping airlines maintain better cost control.

A Trusted Partner in Modern Aviation

Many of AIMS Airline Software’s clients initially relied on Excel-based processes or less advanced software that failed to scale as their operations grew. The company plays a crucial role in helping airlines transition from outdated systems to scalable, next-generation solutions.

For example, EasyJet, one of AIMS Airline Software’s clients, recently migrated to the AIMS cloud on AWS. This transition significantly reduced IT infrastructure costs, allowing the airline to focus on core operations rather than hardware maintenance. The cloud-based system improved accessibility, enhanced security, and provided scalability, enabling airline staff to collaborate and access critical data in real time, regardless of location.

AIMS Airline Software continues to innovate by integrating AI and machine learning into its platform. These technologies enhance predictive capabilities, helping airlines manage disruptions more effectively. Whether facing a snowstorm or a strike, the platform offers immediate solutions to minimize impact and swiftly adjust flight and crew schedules. AI-driven optimizers also identify cost-saving opportunities in crew pairing, aircraft utilization, and resource allocation, further improving operational efficiency and decision-making.

By leveraging advanced technologies like AI and automation, AIMS Airline Software transforms complex operations into streamlined processes, enabling airlines to focus on what truly matters—delivering exceptional service while staying agile and competitive in an ever-evolving industry.
