The problem

On-demand flights wait for no one — and neither should you

When a call comes in at 2am or a slot opens in 45 minutes, your crew coordination system is either fast enough or it isn't.

⏱️
A slow crew search means a missed slot

On-demand operations live or die by speed. Every minute spent working through a phone list is a minute you could lose the trip entirely.

🌙
2am calls shouldn't take 45 minutes

Manual crew hunting at odd hours is exhausting and inefficient. Your system should work as well at 3am as it does at 3pm — without you doing all the work.

✈️
One cancelled flight is one too many

In on-demand aviation, your reputation is built or destroyed trip by trip. Failing to staff a flight because crew coordination was slow is not a risk worth taking.

The solution

Crew coordination built for speed and reliability

CrewBench is designed for operations where response time is everything — from the initial notification to the final confirmation.

Live response dashboard
Responses arrive in real time. The moment a pilot taps Available, you see it. Confirm crew instantly — no back-and-forth required.
Mobile-first — works from the ramp
CrewBench works perfectly on any phone browser. Post a trip, monitor responses, and confirm crew from wherever you are — no laptop required.
24/7 capable — no working hours
CrewBench has no office hours. Post a trip at any hour, and your pilots receive notifications immediately. On-call operations need on-call tools.

How Shino Aviation staffs a 20-aircraft, five-type fleet

Shino runs Part 135 charter and Part 91 private trips from one bench roster. One staffing call once took its CEO two hours of phone calls. Now he usually has a pilot confirmed within 10 to 15 minutes.

“The filtering is what I kept coming back to. I don’t need to remember who’s current on what anymore. I just filter by type, and the list is right there.”
