Bookings and calendar: the resource calendar for your flight operation

The booking calendar is the hub of your flight operation: members reserve aircraft, students book training slots with an instructor, and the board keeps the overview — in a booking system for flying clubs and flight schools.

A booking calendar for the flying club has to do more than show appointments. Aerosuite knows your resources: every booking is linked to an aircraft, a pilot and — for training flights — an instructor, and is automatically checked against availability, permissions and technical releases. This turns a simple calendar into a full aircraft booking system that prevents double bookings from the start.

The resource calendar at a glance

In the resource calendar every aircraft has its own column. You see immediately which machine is free when and where bookings pile up. You reserve with a click — the system reports conflicts before you save.

  • Resource view with all aircraft side by side
  • Week, month and list views
  • Conflict and prerequisite checking already when creating
  • Booking details with pilot, instructor and status at a glance
  • Booking from phone, tablet or computer — no installation

Email confirmation on every change

No one has to watch the calendar to stay up to date: Aerosuite sends an automatic email confirmation for every booking. Whether a booking is created, changed or deleted — those involved are informed, and on cancellation the resource is immediately available again.

  • Booking created

    Confirmation with aircraft, date, time and — if present — instructor.

  • Booking changed

    Notice of the changed time or resource so everyone involved is up to date.

  • Booking deleted

    Cancellation confirmation — the resource is free again and bookable by others.

Booking types and invoicing

Every booking carries a booking type. It decides whether an instructor is needed and controls how the flight is billed later.

Visibility for all members

The calendar is visible to all members: everyone sees when which aircraft is free and can book themselves — transparently and without going through the board. How much detail others see is up to you via roles and permissions; other members’ personal data can be hidden.

This page will shortly be complemented with screenshots from the application.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about bookings and calendar

Do I get an email confirmation when I book?

Yes. When a booking is created, changed and deleted, Aerosuite sends an email confirmation to those involved — with aircraft, date, time and, where applicable, instructor.

Can all members see the calendar?

Yes. The booking calendar is visible to all members so everyone sees when which aircraft is free. Which details are visible is controlled by roles and permissions; other members’ personal data can be hidden.

Are double bookings prevented?

Yes. Aerosuite checks every booking against existing reservations, availability and maintenance windows. Conflicts are shown before saving — not on the day of the flight.

Does the system distinguish booking types such as training and charter?

Yes. Every booking carries a booking type. It controls, among other things, whether an instructor is required, and feeds into analyses and invoicing.
