Floating Fleet AI

Floating Fleet AI is a software company that builds scheduling tools for private aviation. The tools use artificial intelligence to plan aircraft, crews and trip quotes. The company's website does not name a base.

The AI Scheduler assigns aircraft and crew to trips. The company says it cuts direct operating costs by 4 to 10 percent. It does this by reducing deadhead flying and other waste. The software also models customer preferences in fine detail, which helps service levels. It is made for Part 135 operators and corporate flight departments. It can also be extended to help scheduled airlines recover from irregular operations. Floating Fleet AI says the system explains its advice, so schedulers can trust each recommendation and act on it.

The Crew Planning Optimizer automates monthly crew planning. This cuts manual work and shortens planning cycles. It handles full-time and ad hoc crew, pilots with more than one type rating, rotation rules and crew preferences. It works within all regulatory, contract and operational limits. The goal is schedules that are fair and predictable for both crew and operators.

The AI Quote Assistant gives an instant view of aircraft and crew availability for a possible trip. It checks how the trip fits into the existing network before a quote goes out. Operators can quote in real time, which helps them win business and capture high-value demand. It helps Part 135 operators weigh profit, feasibility and speed.

A fourth offer, AI as a Service, is for custom scheduling problems. The company applies its skills in AI, scheduling and engineering to build a highly customized solution. It can act as an outside research and development team for a customer.

The software connects with operating systems used in business aviation. The company shows FL3XX, myairops, Leon Software and Avianis. The home page also shows comments from a Learjet fleet operator, a fractional jet operator, a US East Coast fleet operator, a New York corporate flight department and a large aircraft management company. The company states that its mission is to reduce costs, grow revenue and deliver schedules that work for both the business and the people who run it. It describes its values as trust, innovation and results. Visitors can request a demo through the site.
