How it works

Two seats in the cockpit

One simple flow, whichever side of the hangar door you're on.

For pilots

  1. 01Find an aircraft

    Browse by location and type. Rate, airframe hours and maintenance status are on every listing.

  2. 02Request a slot

    Pick a date, time and duration. The hourly rate locks the moment you send.

  3. 03Confirm and fly

    The owner accepts, you confirm, and the slot is yours.

For owners

  1. 01List your aircraft

    Registration, base, rate and maintenance status. Hide it from pilots whenever you need to.

  2. 02Review requests

    Get notified when a pilot asks. Accept or decline, and message them first if you like.

  3. 03Put it to work

    Let the aircraft earn between your own flights instead of waiting in the hangar.
