Bug Fix

Automatic AOC Upgrades on Merge

When you delete one of your companies and transfer its assets to another, the system automatically handles the fleet's legal requirements.

If the incoming fleet includes aircraft that are heavier than the receiving company's current Air Operator's Certificate (AOC) allows, the receiving company's AOC will be automatically upgraded.

For example, if you merge a company that owns a 777 into your new company that only has a Small AOC, the new company will be instantly upgraded to a Large AOC. The standard upgrade fee will be charged to the receiving company as part of the transfer, ensuring your new, larger fleet is immediately compliant.

Other improvements

• Fixed an error that prevented departure slots from being correctly reserved when you accepted a route job that required a relocation flight. The slot will now be properly reserved for you and then automatically occupied when you board at the route's origin airport.
• You can now log in using your email address with any capitalization (e.g., MyEmail@domain.com or myemail@domain.com will both work).
• Fixed an issue that prevented using pushback on the second or subsequent legs of a multi-leg journey. You can now push back at the start of every flight.
• The job status timeline now correctly displays its layout when a relocation leg is involved.
• Corrected a bug where the boarding priority view was sometimes hidden incorrectly.
• Fixed a potential error that could occur when loading an aircraft's details or live position on the map.

Small Improvements

• Fixed an issue where using the "Apply Filter" button inside a multi-select filter dropdown could sometimes cause other open filter menus on the same page to apply incorrectly.

The Route Preview tool for pricing strategies now correctly displays routes when your strategy uses Airport Groups.

Previously, if you used an Airport Group (e.g., "All US Hubs") as a filter in a pricing strategy, the Route Preview map would show no routes, even when matching routes existed. We've fixed this, and the preview tool now correctly identifies these groups, fetches all matching routes, and displays them on the map as expected.

We've also improved the display for group-based filters. When you edit a pricing strategy, the input field will now show the group's name (like "All US Hubs") instead of its technical ID, making it clearer what you have selected.

Other improvements

• Aircraft in the Classifieds listings now show a tail number badge, letting you see the aircraft's registration at a glance.
• Adjusted the width of multi-select dropdown menus to better accommodate long items and prevent text from being cut off.

Small Improvements

• Fixed an issue that could prevent the Agreements tab from loading if an agreement involved an aircraft that was for sale.

Small Improvements

• Fixed an issue in the 'Create Rank' dialog where dragging a new rank to its intended position could sometimes assign it the wrong level.
• Resolved a related bug that could cause an error when trying to save changes to your company's rank structure. Re-ordering and adding new ranks is now more reliable.

We've made the platform more robust by introducing new safeguards against accidental duplicate actions. This helps prevent issues like unintentionally chartering a flight twice or submitting the same form multiple times if you double-click.

This behind-the-scenes improvement ensures that your requests are processed cleanly and only once, making for a smoother and more reliable experience, especially during periods of high server load or with a slow connection. Your actions are now better protected from unintended errors.

Other improvements

• Fixed an issue where creating new routes would sometimes fail because airport slot access was being checked incorrectly.
• Job listings now correctly respect all rank constraints, so you will no longer see jobs that you are not yet qualified for.
• Resolved a bug that could cause passengers and cargo to be counted as disembarked twice in flight reports.
• Fixed an issue where new buildings and agreements could not get quotes.
• New agreement costs have been halved until dynamic slot pricing is introduced shortly.

Passenger Services

To better reflect their role in the game, we've renamed the FBO (Fixed-Base Operator) building type to Passenger Services.

This is purely a name change to provide more clarity. All of your existing FBOs have been automatically renamed, and their functionality—extending your route network and enabling final-leg charters—remains exactly the same. You'll see this new name reflected across the platform, from the building purchase screen to your airport management panels.

Fairer Agreement Cancellations

We've fixed an issue that made it difficult to cancel agreements with an upfront payment. Previously, the system didn't count your initial payment towards the minimum term requirement.

Now, upfront payments correctly count as the first paid cycle. This means you can cancel these agreements as soon as the minimum term is met, without having to wait for an extra billing cycle to complete. We've also added a new badge to your finance screen to make it clear which recurring payments are charged upfront.

Other improvements

• The Job Marketplace map now shows a loading indicator and will only display jobs once it's fully ready, preventing visual glitches on slower connections.
• Clarified the wording in notifications for aircraft that cannot find available storage space after completing a job.

We've tweaked how aircraft slot grace periods are displayed and made it easier to recover your aircraft, ensuring you're never locked out of accessing your own assets.

A Clearer View of Grace Periods

Previously, it was difficult to tell when an aircraft's grace period in a slot was about to end or what happened after it expired. We've introduced a new set of clear, color-coded badges to give you at-a-glance status information.

When an aircraft is on an active grace period, you'll see an orange badge with a countdown timer. This shows you exactly how long you have until the aircraft is automatically moved to storage.

If the grace period ends and there's no available hangar or stand space, the aircraft will remain in the slot. This is now indicated by a red badge, letting you know that the slot is blocked because there was nowhere for the aircraft to go. This helps you quickly identify and resolve storage conflicts at your airports.

Recover Your Aircraft from Anywhere

Losing access to a partner's facilities no longer means losing access to your aircraft. If a partnership ends or facility access changes while your aircraft is parked in a location you can no longer use, you can now always open the agreement panel to retrieve it.

This ensures you can always manage and move your assets, even if they are located in a hangar or stand that has become restricted. You will have just enough access to view the facility and remove your aircraft, guaranteeing you never get locked out.

Other improvements

• Aircraft slots can no longer be shared publicly; access is now restricted to either your own company or members of a partnership. This provides greater control over your facilities and ensures a more accurate count of available slots.
• When access rules for a partnership change, aircraft using a partner's facilities are now automatically and correctly removed to prevent them from getting stuck.

• Fixed an issue where the configuration screen for FBO charter destinations would not load, causing the page to hang.

• Fixed an issue where your routes could be automatically disabled if all of your airport slots were occupied. Your routes will now remain active as long as you have a valid slot agreement at both the departure and arrival airports, regardless of current usage.
• Clarified the owner salary description in your company settings to specify that the salary is paid at 5am UTC on the 1st of each month.

• Fixed an issue during the company migration process where you were asked to configure aircraft that were being refunded. You will no longer see a prompt to configure seating for these aircraft.
• Fixed a bug that prevented migration entirely.

Job Market Performance Overhaul

We’ve completely overhauled the underlying query system for the job market, making it significantly faster to find and filter flights.

Previously, if you had contracts with multiple companies, the job search could become slow as the system checked every possible flight against your pilot constraints. We've rebuilt this logic from the ground up to be far more efficient. The system now intelligently filters jobs based on the companies you can fly for before evaluating complex aircraft and route constraints, dramatically reducing the processing load.

You'll notice the biggest improvements when searching broad areas or when you hold many active pilot contracts. The job list and map view now populate much more quickly, getting you in the air faster.

More Reliable Live Flight Map

We've resolved an issue that could sometimes cause the Live Flight Map to appear empty when you first opened it.

This was caused by a race condition where the map would occasionally try to draw aircraft before their data had been fully loaded. The map now waits for all data to be ready and displays a clear loading indicator, ensuring you always see a complete picture of active flights.

Other improvements

• Fixed a bug that could incorrectly schedule major, restricted maintenance services (like C and D checks) to run automatically, causing the whole automatic maintenance job to fail. These services will now always require manual sign-off.
• Owner salary payments in your transaction history now include the company name, making them easier to identify if you own multiple companies.
• Improved the visual styling of partnership badges in the job list for better readability.
• Fixed an issue that could prevent owner salary payments from being processed correctly at the end of the month.
