Network Rostering
SkAI’s Smart Rostering distributes ON and OFF duty days around crew holidays, rest preferences, and training. The generated roster avoids over- or under-allocation with the right number of crew for each day, all while maintaining fairness in rotations. SkAI’s usage as a proactive planning tool helps visualize potential gaps in staffing in long-term scheduled operations and create relevant crew combinations to optimize your network.
-
Pairing Optimisation
SkAI builds your published schedule into trips that leave a base and return to it, chaining sectors, turnarounds and night stops within duty limits. Pairings keep positioning to a minimum and are regenerated when the programme changes, so sequences stay stable across the network.
-
Flight Assignment
SkAI’s Smart Flight Assignment then matches each pairing with available crew whose qualifications fit. When plans change, assignments can be quickly regenerated and adjusted to maintain coverage and minimize avoidable inefficiencies.
-
Network Crew Analytics
Long-term schedules, pairings, and daily operations are generated within each airline’s operating framework and established industry standards. The dashboard allows teams to follow the generated distributions and planned pairings across the network to keep the workload fair for every crew member.
-
Rules and Compliance
Long-term schedules, pairings, and daily operations are generated around specific internal and industry rules. SkAI ensures the resulting coverage remains coherent across the network.
Many scheduled carriers also fly wet leases or charter missions. SkAI covers crew management for ACMI operators and rostering for non-scheduled airlines on the same platform.

Rostering a Published Schedule, Answered
-
How far ahead can SkAI Tech build a roster?
SkAI Tech is used as a proactive planning tool on long-term schedules: it builds over the horizon your operation plans on and makes the staffing gaps in that horizon visible while there is still time to act on them, instead of surfacing them as open flights a fortnight out.
-
Does SkAI Tech build pairings, or only assign crews to flights?
Both. Pairing Optimisation builds the published schedule into trips that start and end at base, with as little positioning as possible, then Smart Flight Assignment matches each trip with crew whose qualifications fit. When the schedule changes, pairings and assignments are regenerated rather than patched line by line.
-
How is duty spread fairly between crew members?
Rostering distributes ON and OFF duty days around holidays, rest preferences and training, with the right number of crew for each day rather than an over- or under-allocated roster. The dashboard shows the distributions and pairings actually generated, so fairness is something the team can show rather than argue about.
-
We also fly wet leases and charter. Does that fit in the same roster?
Yes, and many scheduled carriers work that way. SkAI Tech covers scheduled, ACMI and non-scheduled activity on one platform, each with the rule set that applies to it. Crews flying across those categories are planned in the same roster instead of in parallel files.
