Adding Flights and Trips Efficiently Based on Your Company Profile
The CFD product supports all types of corporate flight departments, from single-aircraft operations to complex multi-aircraft setups including those that require pre-booking approvals.
Operations not requiring pre-booking approvals:
Flights or bookings can be added in multiple ways: via the Timeline, the Dispatch module, or the Trip page.

The Workflow Options
Planning / Multi Planning:
Once the trip is saved, you have two options:
- Send a Planning Email – Send a planning document and email directly to the requester.
- Create a New Version – Use the Create Version button to generate a copy of the original trip. You can modify this version as needed and repeat the process for additional versions. All versions can be sent in a single email using one template.
Approval
In the Approval step, you can send an approval request to the designated authorizer. Once approved, the authorizer can submit the signed document directly into FL3XX.
Book
When booked, the trip becomes visible for the dispatchers as a confirmed flight allowing them to work on the different services and tasks.
Confirm
This step is optional and can be removed from the workflow. If enabled, the confirmation will include the itinerary, crew and PAX names, booked services, and schedule.
Invoice
If your company issues invoices for corporate flights, a standard invoice can be generated. If you require additional invoices please contact FL3XX Sales.
Decline, Drop & Cancel
You can send a decline, drop, or cancellation email to the requester and authorizer detailing the reason for the action. A reason must be provided for the action, and the decline, drop, or cancellation reasons can be customized to fit your needs.
Adding Crew, PAX and Services to the Trip
If you want to add crew, PAX and services at any stage of the trip creation, open the Flight Details and click on the Flight Strip item you wish to modify.
On the Trip page, before booking the trip, you can add crew and PAX and apply them to all legs as needed. Additionally, you can prepare required services, specify their details for each flight, and initiate Slot/PPR and permit requests.
Once the trip is booked you can request and confirm those services on the Dispatch or Timeline page.
All other trip related tasks can be done in the Timeline, or in Dispatch.
