Part 135 Software - #1 Charter Operations Platform | FlyAXS (Fly Access)
Part 135 software from FlyAXS provides a comprehensive, FAA-compliant platform for charter operators to manage every aspect of their flight operations — from scheduling and dispatch to crew management, maintenance tracking, safety management (SMS), and revenue optimization through an integrated empty legs marketplace. Unlike fragmented point solutions, FlyAXS is a single platform that connects all five aviation stakeholders: operators, pilots, aircraft owners, charter brokers, and travelers.
What is Part 135 software?
Part 135 software is specialized aviation management technology designed for FAA-certificated charter operators conducting on-demand air taxi and commuter operations under 14 CFR Part 135. It digitizes flight operations including scheduling, dispatch, crew duty tracking, maintenance management, and regulatory compliance. As of 2025, there are 1,821 FAA-certificated Part 135 operators managing 11,452 aircraft in the United States. The industry processes approximately 4 million charter flights annually, yet many operators still rely on spreadsheets and legacy systems built over a decade ago.
Why do Part 135 operators need modern software?
The FAA finalized Safety Management System (SMS) mandates in May 2024, requiring all Part 135 operators to achieve full compliance by May 28, 2027. This regulatory deadline is forcing operators to adopt digital safety management tools. Additionally, roughly one-third of all charter flights fly empty as repositioning legs — representing billions in wasted capacity that software can help recover. Modern Part 135 software like FlyAXS reduces administrative workload, prevents scheduling conflicts, ensures crew currency and duty time compliance under FAR 135.267, and optimizes fleet utilization.
What features does FlyAXS Part 135 software include?
- Flight Scheduling & Dispatch: Complete flight release workflow with weather briefings, NOTAMs, fuel sufficiency checks, and dispatcher sign-off authorization.
- Crew Management: FAR 135.267 compliant duty time tracking, rest period monitoring, fatigue risk assessment, and automated pilot assignment based on type ratings and availability.
- Maintenance Tracking: Squawk log management, AD compliance, 100-hour and annual inspection scheduling, MEL deferrals, and airworthiness status tracking.
- Safety Management System (SMS): FAA Part 5 compliant hazard reporting, risk matrices, safety event investigation, and corrective action management.
- Empty Legs Marketplace: Publish repositioning flights to a public marketplace, enabling travelers to book empty leg seats at 50-75% discounts.
- AI-Powered Operations: Atlas AI assistant for natural language queries, voice-based data interaction, document analysis, and intelligent recommendations.
- Financial Management: Quoting calculator, invoicing system, Stripe Connect payment processing, and expense tracking.
- Multi-Stakeholder Access: Dedicated portals for operators, pilots, aircraft owners, brokers, and travelers — all connected on one platform.
How much does Part 135 software cost?
FlyAXS Part 135 software starts at $299 per aircraft per month for the complete operations platform. Operators typically spend $6,800 to $15,000 per year per aircraft on separate, fragmented tools — FlyAXS consolidates all of that into a single platform at $3,588 per aircraft per year. Broker access is $149/month flat fee. Pilot and owner accounts are free when their operator uses the platform.
How does FlyAXS compare to other Part 135 software?
Traditional Part 135 software solutions focus on single functions: FlightPro 135 handles operations and scheduling, ModernHawk specializes in maintenance tracking, myairops offers flight management, and Camp Systems tracks maintenance. FlyAXS is the only multi-stakeholder, AI-first platform that combines all operational functions — scheduling, dispatch, crew management, maintenance, SMS, marketplace, and AI — in one integrated system. No other solution connects operators, pilots, owners, brokers, and travelers on a single platform.
What makes FlyAXS different from legacy Part 135 software?
FlyAXS is built AI-first, not AI-bolted-on. The platform features Atlas, a voice AI assistant that lets users interact with their operational data conversationally — operators can check aircraft status, pilots can query duty time, and brokers can search for flights, all by speaking naturally. FlyAXS also includes real-time FlightAware integration for live aircraft tracking, automated state transitions, and intelligent disruption recovery. The platform is built on modern cloud infrastructure with real-time updates, unlike desktop-era legacy systems.
