About

Aviation software, built by people who worked inside it.

We worked at airlines, GDSs and travel-tech startups. Active Flights builds the software we wanted then — careful with your data, exact with your numbers.

Why we build

Get the foundation right, and everything on top gets better.

Most teams rebuild the same schedule tools by hand, and the bill compounds every year. We read the file once, exactly — and every workflow stands on it. That foundation is SSIM Toolkit.

Today: one schedule file passed between home-grown parsers, spreadsheets and tickets, each rebuilt by hand and each breaking somewhere. With a foundation: the file is read once, exactly, and every workflow — validation, compare, markets, hubs, rotations, exports — stands on it.TodayParser v1breaks on a new fileSpreadsheetloses the daysParser v4author leftTicket to opswaitingWith a foundationValidationCompareMarketsHubsRotationsExportsOne file, read once and exactly — every page stands on it.

The mark

The Big Dipper, in our colours.

For as long as people have flown, they have steered by the stars, and the Big Dipper points the way to the pole star. Our mark sets it on three bands — amber, crimson and cobalt — and every product wears the same bands in a symbol of its own.

How we work

The bets that shape every release.

  1. Foundation first

    We over-invest in correctness; the interface follows.

  2. Deterministic by design

    Same file in, same answer out — every figure traced to the standard.

  3. Local & private

    Your schedules stay on your machine. They are read and analysed there, and never uploaded.

  4. No half-built UI

    One feature less, rather than one without its empty states and its care.

  5. Owned, not rented

    A desktop app you install and own — not a service you log in to.

  6. Calm density

    Schedules are dense data; dense data deserves quiet, legible design.
