Propelling Security, Convenience, and Performance with Every Upgrade
(March 2025)
In the aviation industry, precision, efficiency, and reliability are not merely desirable traits, they are the cornerstone of success.
Flight Pro International (FPI) takes a proactive approach to cyber security and client convenience, and that’s why we’re pleased to announce two security-related highlights and one functional upgrade to FPI’s custom trip management software, FlightProConnect.com (“FPC”).
Cyber Security
Once again, FPC has excelled in another rigorous “Pen Test” audit, completed in Q4 2024. Pen Test audits are in-depth examinations of FPC’s digital systems, simulating real-world attacks to identify vulnerabilities and weaknesses that could be entry points for malicious actors.
In addition to meticulously testing the security controls within FPC’s existing desktop and mobile systems, the recent Pen Tests were performed on the latest FPC security upgrade: Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA).
MFA streamlines compliance and security by adding another layer of protection for FPC users, and just as importantly, for the VIP passengers whom our users are managing. By requiring all mobile and desktop FPC users to double-verify their identity on a per-device approach, the risk of a sensitive data breach descends to near-zero.
“Trip Planner” Feature: Now for Mobile Device Users
On the heels of October’s announcement of the new “Trip Planner” feature, the functionality is now fully mobile-ready for FPC users.
The feature allows users to perform a multi-airport query in order to cross-compare airports, ground handlers, and a variety of other noteworthy data that will impact the trip experience for both crew and passengers. With Trip Planner being fully mobile-ready, FPC caters even more to the swift-moving and mobile-first world of private aviation.
“Users can search by airport ICAO, IATA codes, airport names, city names, or view a comprehensive list of all airports within a country,” states Roberto Cormack, Executive VP and CIO at FPI. “Beyond basic search functionality, they gain instant access to critical operational details, including preferred FBO and handler profiles, Airport of Entry, Customs and CIQ information, airport restrictions, slot and PPR requirements, landing permits, and more. The Trip Planner is the ultimate resource for worldwide airport information, offering an industry-leading, user-friendly experience.”

As a reminder, FPC is free to all FPI Clients and is fully desktop, tablet, and mobile device ready.

- Trip Schedules & Daily View
- Services Details with Status Updates
- Crew & Passenger Manifest and Documentation
- Access to Trip Documents

FPC’s unique platform architecture also addresses issues and exceeds capabilities of similar trip management technologies on the market with:

- Geo-Redundancy
- On-Demand Scalability
- Security
- Mobile Optimization
Continually furthering FPC’s qualifications, FPI’s in-house software development team has also announced several additional upgrades over the last several months, including:
- Offline operations capability with visibility up to 14 days: Users can enjoy the convenience and continuity of FPC’s organizational benefits while operating the software features fully offline.
- Real-time feedback feature: Users can instantly supply a rating based on a star/points system, leave a comment, or most importantly, request that an FPI team member respond to a question or need.
- In-app messaging center for mobile devices: Expanded upon the existing desktop messaging feature, the mobile messaging version allows communications among users of all devices to be consolidated into a more organized global display, providing real-time, “bigger picture” project visibility for everyone.
- Becoming certified with Europe’s eu-LISA Entry/Exit System (EES): FPI not only offers to assist clients with the complex eu-LISA registration process, but the system-to-system connection greatly streamlines client experience with the entire process moving forward.
