Since 2020, Northern Jet has utilized ForeFlight’s Business Performance subscription. What initially began as a trial with a couple of airframes has evolved into fleet-wide adoption of features, including Dispatch and Runway Analysis. The transition to ForeFlight for all aspects of flight planning, weight and balance, and runway analysis has significantly streamlined our day-to-day operations.
After integrating with ForeFlight, AerCaribe could manage the entire process within the ForeFlight ecosystem, bypassing the need to contact all relevant parties individually. The dispatch office could simply plan the flight in ForeFlight Dispatch while keeping pilots informed, synchronizing, and organizing the entire flight department.
As a chief pilot, there is just no way to say how much I would recommend other operators switching. We looked at them all. ForeFlight checks all the needs and then some.
