UK-based international trip planner Djetops is here at EBACE to demonstrate what it describes as the industry’s first “smart online flight permit” app. Currently in beta testing, PermitsGlobal is being evaluated by a number of European operators, according to the company, which expects the final product to be available in the second half of the year. 
  
Visitors to the company’s booth (U055) can try out the application, which automates the often-complicated process of obtaining landing and over-flight permits, allowing pilots and dispatchers around-the-clock control over their permit applications. 
  
“PermitsGlobal is the first of the industry’s online tools to significantly change the trip planning process and revolutionize how pilots and flight operations connect, communicate and manage their flight permits,” said Samantha Hazelgrove, the company’s sales manager. “EBACE is the ideal event to demonstrate PermitsGlobal to its users, and we are looking forward to gaining their expert feedback in preparation of its formal launch.”
  
The application is available in two versions, PG App for remote access via personal devices, and PG Web, where a single member license will give access to multiple users. Both provide the user with live updates on the permit application process, and a history feature will store aircraft, passenger and trip data including related payments. Customer support will be available through a dedicated team as well as a live chat function.
