At 5 Year Anniversary, FPI Sets a New Standard for Trip Management Software

/

Flight Pro International (FPI) will be raising a celebratory toast to their five-year anniversary in Booth #2020 on the afternoon of Tuesday, Oct. 14th, as they discuss two major updates to their custom trip management software, FlightProConnect.com (“FPC”), regarding user convenience and cyber security.

FPC’s “Trip Planner”Feature: The Ultimate Aggregating Platform

During 2024’s NBAA, FPI announced FPC’s mobile-friendly “Trip Planner” feature, a robust system that allows users to perform a multi-airport query to cross-compare a variety of noteworthy data that impacts the trip experience for crew and passengers, including:

  • Comprehensive search by ICAO, IATA, airport names, city names or by country

  • Preferred FBO and ground handler profiles

  • Airport hours, CIQ hours, DLS times, and slot information

  • Airport of Entry, Customs/Immigration processes for domestic and international movements, and CIQ information

  • Current restrictions, landing permits, PPR (Prior Permission Required) remarks, and travel requirements

In 2025, Trip Planner took the airport search engine to even greater heights for client users, introducing tactical and “ease of use” information not commonly found in competitive search subscriptions, such as:

  • User's ability to download multiple “Airports Brief” documents as individual PDF files, Zip file packages, or even the option of all files merged into a single PDF, complete with a cover page and summary 

  • Satellite maps displaying FBO location, available parking locations, and a view of alternate surrounding airports

  • Trip activity of up to two years of historical data

  • A new weather section with METARS, TAF and NOTAMS (Domestic, International, FDC and Military) with real-time updates

As a reminder, FPI’s 24/7/365 integrated operations team routinely collate even more pertinent information behind the scenes to round out clients’ trip analysis with premium data not commonly found elsewhere, such as:

 Cyber Security: Head and Shoulders Above the Rest

  • FPC undergoes annual rigorous “Pen Tests”, far more frequent and robust than typical platforms of this caliber. 

  • FPC has implemented “MFA” (multi-factor authentication), adding another layer of protection for users and their clients, bringing breach risks down to near-zero.

  • FPC has an automatic offline capability window of stored, encrypted trip details with visibility 48 hours backwards and 72 hours forward. This feature not only provides greater privacy when offline is warranted, but it helps to overcome data lag during spotty to no connection situations.

  • With FPC’s developers operating in-house at FPI, the platform can be adapted to meet one-off demands of larger operators with unique or challenging IT security regulations. 

  • FPC can and already aligns with various external system-to-system global programs, such as: 

“Unlike other systems leaving operators working with outdated information, FPC’s cloud-based platform, backed by the expertise of our global, in-country SSN representatives, delivers a constant stream of refreshed, accurate data, ” states Roberto Cormack, FPI’s Executive VP and CIO. “FPI’s size is our strength. Our nimble, software development team is structured to pivot on a moment’s notice with customized solutions that larger firms can’t match in speed or flexibility.” 

“We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach,” states Matt Pahl, FPI’s President and COO. “Every client receives hands-on attention, rapid execution, and tailored precision from a team that thrives on unique challenges. FPI staff from top to bottom stay close to every project and every outcome — That’s the advantage of a team cultivated for responsiveness, not red tape.”
