Effectively Manage Your Corporate Flight Schedule
It is fully integrated with all operational domains to ensure all relevant information is represented and available to the user.
Your Command Center for Real-Time Airline Operations
In today’s highly dynamic and disruption-prone aviation environment, airlines require more than just systems - they need intelligence, speed, and operational clarity. Smart OPERATIONS MANAGER, developed by Smart4Aviation, is a comprehensive day-of-operations control platform that transforms how airline Operations Control Centers (OCCs) manage flights, aircraft, maintenance, and disruptions in real time.
Smart OPERATIONS MANAGER delivers a live, centralized view of the entire operation - empowering users to make faster, smarter, and more coordinated decisions when it matters most. From flight monitoring to aircraft reassignment, from milestone tracking to scenario planning, It brings together every essential function in a single, intuitive interface built for airline professionals by airline professionals.
Interactive Gantt Bar Display
The Gantt view displays the schedule and aircraft as sorted by user preference, departure time, fleet type, etc. Flight bars provide users with all relevant operational information in simple, interactive dropdown menus.
The point, click and hovering actions give immediate access to the current and future operational fleet and schedule statuses. Additionally, if desired, financial information can also be accessed easily.
Flight bars are presented in unique, fully customizable color coding which changes to display current flight status such as planned, delayed taxiing, holding bay, deicing bay, return to gate, airborne, airborne return, diversion and all key operational milestones.
Full Control of the Flight Lifecycle
Airline operations are fluid by nature - flights get delayed, diverted, rescheduled, or added with little notice. Smart OPERATIONS MANAGER provides powerful tools to help operations teams manage the full flight lifecycle: from ad-hoc creation to editing, rescheduling, and reacting to irregular operations. Whether dealing with planned rotations or last-minute changes, SOM gives you the flexibility and control to adapt fast and keep everything moving:
- Manual Flight Creation - Create ad-hoc or charter flights directly from the Gantt chart.
- Movements and Handling Irregularities (update times, aircraft, remarks, delay codes, and more; Diversions; Returns to ramp; Flight cancellations; Curfew)
- Multi-Leg Flight Support - Build complex rotation patterns with ease.
- Protect/Unprotect Flights (Hidden; Visible in view-only mode; Normally available).
- Reassign Flight - assign the flight to a different assignment.
- Real-time editing and synchronization across integrated Smart Suite systems.
Predictive Intelligence & Scenario Simulation
While most systems show you what’s happening now, Smart OPERATIONS MANAGER takes it a step further - anticipating what could go wrong before it does. The Implications Engine is designed to support proactive, informed decision-making by flagging potential operational risks, regulatory constraints, and cost impacts in real time.
The Implications Engine and Sandbox features help users anticipate issues and evaluate alternative operational strategies before executing them.
- Proactive Decision Support - The system alerts users before an operational decision causes issues, such as assigning an aircraft with MEL/CDL limitations to an ETOPS route or selecting an airport that’s subject to a curfew. It enables users to act before the disruption occurs, not after.
- Regulatory & Technical Constraints Detection -Identifies operational restrictions tied to Aircraft capabilities (e.g., overwater/ETOPS eligibility), Airport rules (e.g., daylight-only operations, curfews, handling limitations), Flight planning constraints (e.g., NOTAMs, airspace restrictions, overflight permits)
- Financial Impact Awareness - Displays potential costs and operational consequences of decisions, such as: delay penalties, diversion costs, passenger and crew misconnection risks, and maintenance rescheduling conflicts.
- Dynamic Alerts Based on Operational Context.
- Visual & Interactive Guidance with Implication warnings.
- Supported Use Cases (Current & Future).
- Examples: Flight property validation (e.g., route suitability, MEL/CDL compliance), Minimum Turnaround Time (MTA) violations, Crew qualifications & duty time violations, Aircraft rotation chain breaks, Passenger, baggage, and cargo connection delays, Towing and ramp operation conflicts.
- Highly Configurable for Airline Rules.
Communication, Milestone Tracking and Alerting
Smart COMM is fully embedded into Smart OPERATIONS MANAGER and provides a robust framework for operational messaging, alert management and milestones. It ensures that the right information reaches the right people at the right time - filtering out noise and prioritizing relevance. Milestones offer unmatched insight into the readiness and progress of each flight - automated where possible, and manually adjustable when needed. Together, they ensure timely intervention and full process visibility.
Customizable Milestone Tracking:
- Monitor steps like Briefing Package Checked, Dispatch Release, Fuel Order, RAIM (GPS) Status and ACARS status.
- Each milestone is tied to integration points with other Smart4Aviation or airline 3rd party systems.
- Color-coded status icons (Green – completed, Red – issues or delays, gray – pending or not yet triggered).
- Users with appropriate access can right-click milestones to manually update status and add remarks.
Alerts and P2P messages - Immediate visibility of unread alerts and peer-to-peer messages.
- Direct integration with COMM messaging and alerting ecosystem ensures no milestone or message is missed.
- Over 70 types of alerts can be established to warn of any operational conditions, providing users with a comprehensive view of the operation in real time.
- Airlines can precisely customise types of alerts and conditions for each user group to make sure no user is disturbed by irrelevant information.
Built-In Maintenance Awareness
Operational efficiency isn’t just about managing flights - keeping track of aircraft availability, maintenance status, and potential technical issues is just as critical.
Smart OPERATIONS MANAGER puts maintenance visibility and aircraft readiness directly in the hands of the operations team, all from within the OPS Window.
- Maintenance bars and event overlays.
- Defect flags for restrictive and non-restrictive issues.
- Countdown timers for the next aircraft departure.
- Access to maintenance details and planning context.
