(August 2026)
Last month, we highlighted the “Trip Notifications” feature — the most recent enhancement within Flight Pro Connect (“FPC”), the cutting-edge and centralized trip management software platform available at no additional cost for FPI clients.
In this edition of Connections, we’re revisiting the primary engine that drives FPC: the “Trip Planner” platform. Built for schedulers, pilots, and operators, the Trip Planner is the operational hub of FPC — not just another feature.
The Ultimate Aggregator of Operational Intelligence
As FPI clients, FPC users gain immediate access to the breadth of trip planning research within the Trip Planner pillar of FPC, including:
- 25,000+ searchable airports
- 190+ countries supported
- Thousands of continuously updated airport records
- FPI’s global Special Services Network (SSN) coverage (see below)
From either desktop or mobile devices, users are able to quickly leverage the full scope of operational details offered, including:
Airport Intelligence:
- Operating hours
- Airport restrictions
- Airport advisories
- Alternate airports
Regulatory:
- CIQ
- Airport of Entry requirements
- Landing permits
- Slots
Operational Resources:
- FBO profiles
- Ground handlers
- Facility Views
- Operational documents
Comprehensive searches can be conducted using ICAO, IATA, airport name, city, or country, giving operators immediate access to the information they need from a single interface.
Continuously Evolving. Constantly improving.
FPI’s ongoing commitment to increasing the Trip Planner’s intelligence is made possible thanks to our global, in-country partners within the Special Services Network (SSN).
As a reminder, the SSN program is comprised of FPI’s elite collection of highly-vetted service partners across the globe who approach each client with a Ritz Carlton mindset, no matter how small the detail.
FPI routinely evaluates each SSN relationship, frequently investigates new information related to their ground handling practices, and periodically conducts global site visits to verify the latest local information before feeding the data into FPC’s Trip Planner software.
The Trip Planner therefore remains continually updated with new and expanded data, ensuring it serves as an always-evolving resource for complex trip management.
Elements such as unique airport facility views and images give crews and schedulers premium situational awareness in order to become familiar with FBOs, terminals, and airport layouts before arrival.
“FPC’s Trip Planner platform, backed by the expertise of our global Special Services Network (SSN) representatives, delivers a constant stream of refreshed, accurate data, ” states Roberto Cormack, FPI’s Executive VP and CIO. “The in-country SSN personnel continuously ensure that the information FPI provides is the most up-to-date and useful data, aggregated in a single resource that FPI is proud to deliver to our clients.”
Industry-leading Insights
Trip Planner tools provide first-class and comprehensive searches because of its

Every enhancement is guided by one objective — Delivering the right operational information to the right people at the right time — further strengthening FPC as one of the industry’s most comprehensive technology-enabled trip management platforms.
“The Trip Planner delivers a constant stream of refreshed, accurate data,” Roberto continues. “This ensures users always have the right information at the right time, empowering smarter, faster decisions when every moment counts.”
