Fleets
Overview
Fleets represent the top level of the aircraft hierarchy in the platform:
Airline → Fleet → Subfleet → Aircraft
A fleet groups aircraft by type family. For example, a "Boeing 737 Family" fleet would contain subfleets for each variant (737-800, 737-900ER, etc.), and each subfleet would contain the individual aircraft registrations.

Fleet List
The fleet list page displays all fleets across your airlines in a paginated table.
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | Full name of the fleet (e.g., "Boeing 737 Family") |
| Short Name | Abbreviated identifier (e.g., "B737") |
| Status | Active or inactive |
| Airline | The airline that owns this fleet |
| Subfleet Count | Number of subfleets within this fleet |
| Aircraft Count | Total number of individual aircraft across all subfleets |
The list is paginated at 15 items per page and supports both sorting (click any column header) and searching (use the search field to filter by name or short name).
Creating and Editing a Fleet
Required Fields
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | The full display name of the fleet |
| Short Name | A short identifier used in compact views and references |
| Airline | The airline this fleet belongs to. Every fleet must be associated with exactly one airline |
Optional Fields
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Base Airport | The default base airport for this fleet. Used for repositioning logic when no more specific base is set at the subfleet or aircraft level |
| Active | Toggle to enable or disable the fleet. Inactive fleets and their aircraft will not be available for operations |
Performance Configurations
Each fleet can have one or more performance configurations that define operational parameters applied during flight operations. These are useful when a fleet type has multiple standard operating profiles.
Performance Configuration Fields
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | Display name of the configuration (e.g., "Standard Landing", "Short Runway Config") |
| Flap Setting | The flap setting to use for this configuration |
| Autobrake | The autobrake setting for this configuration |
| Minimum Reverse | The minimum reverse thrust setting |
| Sort Order | Numeric value controlling the display order of configurations |
Performance configurations are reorderable — you can drag and drop them to change the sort order, or adjust the sort order field directly.
Fleet Restrictions
Fleets can have restrictions applied that control which pilots or operations can use aircraft in this fleet. Restrictions set at the fleet level propagate down to all subfleets and aircraft within the fleet.
License Requirements
Fleets can define license requirements that pilots must hold before they are eligible to fly aircraft in this fleet. This allows you to enforce type rating or certification requirements at the fleet family level.
Payload Profiles
Fleets can have payload profiles configured that define standard passenger and cargo load configurations. These profiles determine the available payload options when flights are booked using aircraft from this fleet.
Load Profiles
Fleets can have load profiles assigned that control how passenger and cargo loads are calculated and distributed. Load profiles set at the fleet level serve as defaults that can be overridden at the subfleet level.
Activity Log
The fleet edit page includes a paginated activity log that records every change to the fleet's attributes (name, airline, base airport, active status, etc.) with timestamps and the staff member who made the change.
Base Airport Resolution
The base airport field on a fleet is part of a hierarchical resolution chain. When the system needs to determine an aircraft's base airport, it checks in this order:
- Aircraft — if the individual aircraft has a base airport set, use that
- Subfleet — if the aircraft's subfleet has a base airport set, use that
- Fleet — if the fleet has a base airport set, use that
- Random Airline Hub — if none of the above are set, a random hub airport from the airline is selected
