Altus Air · by Altus Air Tech LLC
Altus Air is operations software for Part 135 charter operators. Quote a trip, crew it, release it, follow it, then fix the squawk, book the costs and work the safety report, all on the same record.
The problem
That's how most charter operators still run a trip. Altus Air puts it in one place, where dispatch, crew, maintenance and accounting all read the same record.
How it works
Follow a single charter through Altus Air. Each step picks up where the last one left off. Nothing is retyped and nothing is lost between departments.
01 / 09 Quote
Pick the legs and the aircraft. Altus Air prices the trip from your own rate card and shows, as you choose, whether that tail is free, whether a crew is available and whether the airport needs a special qualification. The client signs the quote online.
02 / 09 Book
A signed quote becomes a booked trip in one move. It lands on the Operations Calendar beside every other aircraft, legs color-matched by trip, with maintenance deferrals drawn on the same timeline.
03 / 09 Crew
Assign the PIC and SIC leg by leg. Every pick is checked against flight time, duty and rest, and against takeoff and landing recency, before it saves. When a pilot won't work, Altus Air tells you why.
FAA§135.267 flight, duty & rest · §135.247 recency
04 / 09 Release
Each leg is released only after its checks pass: aircraft status, crew duty and currency, the flight risk assessment, weight and balance, passengers, weather and NOTAMs. An AI readiness review reads the whole leg and links every finding to the record it came from. The person with operational control releases the leg.

05 / 09 Fly
Live ADS-B puts every tail on the map. Scheduled and actual times sit side by side, each trip has its flight followers, and crew and dispatch share a message thread for the trip.
06 / 09 After landing
Pilots log out, off, on and in from their phone, and ADS-B confirms the times. Block time, flight time, duty and currency then update without anyone typing them in again. The trip closes itself when the last leg is done.

07 / 09 Maintenance
A discrepancy the crew files after landing becomes a maintenance event. Raise the work order, order the part, defer the item against the aircraft's own FAA-approved MEL, and sign the work in the app or with a QR code on a phone. The release won't let a grounded tail go.

08 / 09 Accounting
Receipts scanned by the crew, expenses from dispatch, purchase orders from maintenance and fuel uplifts all land in one Inbox. Someone reviews each item, confirms it with one keystroke, and it posts to the QuickBooks company you already use. Every trip shows its margin against the quote.
09 / 09 Safety
Crew, staff and outside parties can file a safety concern at any time. The Safety Manager triages it, sees the leg's whole record, assesses the risk before and after controls, assigns corrective actions and closes it with a lesson learned.

The same app opens to whatever the person does: the pilot's schedule, the dispatcher's release queue, the mechanic's work. Everyone sees the same trip, each from their own side.
Built for Part 135
Altus Air checks each assignment, release and signature against the regulation behind it, and the record keeps itself.

Every signature is made from the signer's own account, sealed with the operator's digital seal, locked into its PDF, and checkable by anyone holding its code.
How signing works
Where it comes from
Altus Air wasn't designed in a conference room. It was built inside Exjet, a working Part 135 charter operator, and Exjet runs on it today. Every feature started as a problem on a real trip.

Your data
Altus Air is used by the operator's own staff: dispatchers, the Director of Operations, crew, mechanics and accounting. Each operator's workspace is separate from every other operator's.
Your trips, crew, aircraft and records are kept apart from every other operator's, and your staff see only your operation.
Accounting posts to the QuickBooks company you already have. Your books stay where your accountant expects them.
Quotes, itineraries and invoices can go out from your company's own mailbox. Connecting one is optional.
No one at Altus opens your clients', passengers' or crew's details without your admin's approval, and you see every access in your own log. How it works
An operator can connect its own Google Workspace or Gmail mailbox to Altus Air. This is optional. Each connection is made by someone at the operator, for one purpose, and can be disconnected at any time from Settings → Integrations in the app or from your Google account's security settings.
Quotes, itineraries, invoices and crew notices that your staff create in Altus Air are sent from your company's own address, and a copy lands in that mailbox's Sent folder.
Permission: gmail.send. It lets Altus Air send mail. It does not let Altus Air read the mailbox.
Invoice inbox: vendor invoices in a Gmail label you pick are imported into Accounting as draft bills for your staff to review. Altus Air adds an "AP/Imported" label to each message it has imported and makes no other change.
Fuel price inbox: fuel price sheets from your fuel vendors are imported into your fuel pricing.
Permissions: gmail.modify for the invoice inbox (for the label) and gmail.readonly for the fuel inbox.
Every connection also asks for userinfo.email so the app can show which address is connected. Google user data is used only to provide these features. It is never sold, never used for advertising, and never used to train AI models. The details are in our privacy policy.
