We’ve been busy. The first few months of the year were all about building features that make your life easier—features that keep you informed, in control, and a step ahead. Whether you're sourcing flights, quoting on the fly, or managing ops across a team, these updates were made with you (and your feedback) in mind.

Here’s what’s new:

Special Event Fees
Ever wonder why pricing is higher than expected? Now you’ll see when special events might be driving up costs. It’s your heads-up to suggest alternatives—or lock it in with full visibility.

Short Runway Indicators
We’re not here to limit your options—but we are here to keep you informed. If an airport has a short runway, you’ll see that early in the sourcing process. No blocks, just better context for better decisions

Private Airport Indicators
Some airports come with access limitations. Now, we flag private airports right in the trip request dropdown, so you know what you’re dealing with before you commit.

Custom Availability Warnings
Booking an international return to the U.S.? We’ll alert you if customs might be unavailable at the arrival airport—helping your client avoid trip disruptions and keeping everything running smoothly.

Enhanced Sourcing Intelligence
We gave our sourcing engine a serious upgrade. You’ll see:

  • A sharper, more accurate Match Score
  • Real-time Operator Feedback
  • A list to manage your Operator Relationships and save you time
  • Integrated Transient Aircraft matching

The bottom line? Faster, more precise sourcing that respects your client’s needs—and your time.

Ranking Home-Based Operators
We’re now scoring all home-based operators using Match Score. That means more accurate search results and better trip alignment, right out of the gate.

Operator Feedback
Operators now get a real-time view of your trip requests. That means faster responses and stronger relationships—because when operators trust the system, everyone wins.

Fine-Tuned Match ScoreWant to cast a wide net? Or go ultra-specific? You decide. Match Score now reflects how well a trip fits an operator’s real-world capability—no more wasted quotes, no more wasted time.

Instant, Bookable Pricing with flyExclusive
We teamed up with flyExclusive to bring you real-time, bookable pricing—complete with aircraft details—in under 30 seconds. No back-and-forth. Just instant rates and faster deals. Read the full press release »

Operator Relationships
Now, you can stop from sending trip requests to certain operators—avoiding the ones you don’t prefer and focusing only on the ones you trust. Your sourcing process just got more personal and efficient.

Integrated Transients
Transients are now fully included in the sourcing algorithm, giving you more competitive options and expanding opportunities for big wins.

AOG/Recovery Assistance
AOG recovery is now just a couple clicks away. Our new feature provides a fast, confident recovery plan—plus automatic CFS coverage activation if applicable. It’s your “easy” button when things get tough.

Customizations
Brokers now have deeper control over proposals with flexible payment options (Wire, ACH via Plaid, Credit Card, Funds on File) and the ability to toggle CFS coverage. Offer clients the exact experience they expect—without compromise.

Broker Directory
Claim your profile, boost your credibility. Our new Broker Directory enhances your visibility within the platform and gives clients more reasons to trust and choose you. Claim your profile now >>

These Q1 upgrades are part of a bigger picture: building the most broker-forward platform in the industry. We’re here to help you work smarter, book faster, and win more.
