For FBOs Agentic reservations by voice & chat

An AI front desk that never misses a call. Voice, chat, and structured requests — confirmed in one place.

FlightDepartment puts the same agentic technology pilots use to plan trips behind your front desk. It answers the phone, works your web chat, takes complete reservations — tail, fuel, parking, services — and hands your CSRs a structured request they can confirm in one click. Day, night, and every quick-turn rush in between.

What FlightDepartment does for FBOs

Every request, every channel. Zero missed revenue.

Your CSRs are great with the customers on the ramp. FlightDepartment handles the phone that's ringing while they're out there — and turns every conversation into a structured, confirmable reservation.

01 / Answer

24/7 voice agent

An agent that speaks aviation answers your line on the first ring — day, night, weekends, and holiday rushes. It knows your fuel brands, fees, hangar space, and hours, and never puts a pilot on hold.

02 / Chat

Web & SMS chat

The same agent lives on your website and text line. Pilots type "top off, GPU, two nights ramp" and get a confirmed reservation back — no phone tag, no email chains, no missed messages.

03 / Structure

Structured reservations

Every conversation becomes a complete request: tail, type, ETA, fuel order, parking, GPU, lav, ice, catering, transportation. No sticky notes, no re-keying, no "what did that guy on the phone say?"

04 / Upsell

Upsell, captured

The agent knows the forecast and your inventory. Gusty night? It offers hangar space. Early departure? It suggests catering and GPU. Every offer is priced from your published rates — and it never forgets to ask.

05 / Confirm

One-click confirm

Your team reviews and confirms in one click — or sets rules to auto-confirm routine requests. The pilot gets a push notification the moment you accept. Fewer no-shows, cleaner handoffs, better ramp planning.

06 / Grow

Pilot network demand

Pilots planning trips on FlightDepartment see your FBO, your services, and your published pricing right in their planning chat — and send you reservations before they've even filed.

How it works

Live in days. Not another system to learn.

No new terminal on the counter, no retraining. FlightDepartment slots in front of the workflows you already run.

02 · Take requests

The agent works every channel

Voice, web chat, SMS, and structured requests from the FlightDepartment pilot network all land in one queue — each one a complete reservation with tail, ETA, fuel, and services.

  • Quotes from your published pricing
  • Offers relevant upsells, weather- and inventory-aware
03 · Confirm & serve

The other half of the story

Demand flies in from the pilot network.

FlightDepartment's pilots plan, brief, and file inside one chat — and book their FBO services the same way. When a pilot plans a trip to your field, your FBO shows up in their planning thread with services and published pricing. The reservation arrives structured, complete, and ready to confirm.

  • Requests before wheels-up. Pilots book services during planning — hours or days ahead — so you can staff and stage accordingly.
  • Everything you need to serve them. Tail, type, ETA, fuel order, parking, GPU, transportation, catering — in every request, every time.
  • Fewer no-shows. Trips are tied to filed flight plans. If a pilot cancels or diverts, you know right away — not at closing time.
