Operations and Airstrip Management1. Streamline and digitize the multi-stage approval process for flight operations at government-managed airstrips, ensuring compliance, reducing turnaround time, and providing transparent records for requests such as flight clearance, slot allocation, crew endorsements, and safety checks.
2. Facilitate automated document routing, notifications, conditional escalations, and archival within a controlled workflow connecting relevant internal and external authorities, aviation companies, and regulatory bodies.
3. Support real-time tracking, minimize manual error, and ensure all statutory checks and airstrip-specific protocols are systematically enforced prior to final operation clearance.
