Ferry flight
So you just added a new aircraft to your fleet and it is stranded on a tarmac outside your airline's route network? Using the <Make A Ferry Flight> option enables you to strategically place your plane to airports around the globe (provided the selected airport is adequately dimensioned to welcome it). There are three ways to schedule a Ferry Flight, depending on your aircraft's operation decision:
Ferry Flight out of Inactive Fleet
Operations -> Fleet -> Inactive Fleet -> Action -> Make A Ferry Flight
Confirm Do you really want to relocate this aircraft by performing a ferry flight?
Click the <Add flight to this flight plan> drop down menu and select the desired destination.
Your ferry flight will be performed instantly following a required 2 hour lead time prior to take-off.
Ferry Flight out of Active Fleet for aircraft that is part of an Execution Group
Operations -> Fleet -> Active Flee -> Action -> Make A Ferry Flight
Confirm Do you really want to relocate this aircraft by performing a ferry flight?
Click the <Add flight to this flight plan> drop down menu and select the desired destination.
Your ferry flight will be performed instantly following a required 2 hour lead time prior to take-off.
Ferry Flight out of Active Fleet for aircraft that has a fix flight plan
Operations -> Fleet -> Active Fleet -> Action -> Edit fix flight plan
Select Ferry Flight from the <Add flight to this flight plan> drop down menu and schedule
Schedule the ferry flight under consideration of the required 12 hour lead time for fix flights scheduling.
Once completed the ferry flight will be auto-deleted from the aircraft's flight plan.
