      Description

      FlightBridge is a technology platform enabling operators to request and manage various ancillary travel-related services provided by their aviation partners and vendors.

      With a few simple clicks and far greater accuracy, book over 100,000 hotel properties, including over 3,500 properties at the FBO or crew discounted rate. Over 300 aircraft operators and 1000+ FBOs rely on FlightBridge to reduce the thousands of hours spent on phone calls, emails, and faxes, arranging concierge services and logistics.

      Use

      FL3XX offers seamless integration with FlightBridge, covering three core functions:

      (1) All new flight bookings, and also updated and canceled flights are automatically pushed to FlightBridge.

      Thus, FlightBridge always gets your latest schedules instantly. The data includes flight schedules, crew, and passengers. Users needn't do anything. If the integration is set up and active, it runs automatically in the background.

      (2) There are two FlightBridge icons in respective sections in FL3XX Dispatch module. One provides direct access to the active leg in FlightBridge, which opens in a separate web browser tab. The other opens the entire trip in FlightBridge.

      You can quickly navigate to FlightBridge to order and manage required services.

      (3) Your orders are synced back to FL3XX. See an example of a catering order from FlightBridge.
