Job request

Make staffing and calling in crew more efficient

SMS or voice messaging via our SaaS-solution Job request makes it easier and faster to find and call in qualified, available flight crews to fill open trips when a sudden vacancy occurs.

Rapid staffing with SMS, voicemail or app

LEKABs Job request solution Crew Call-out, allows airlines or transport companies to send messages easily and quickly via SMS, voice, or app to qualified and available crew members for quick crew recovery. Our Job request solution for airlines optimizes crew management, helping schedulers and crew control save significant time, improve service levels and free up time for other important operational tasks. The solution meets the most stringent demands for security, accessibility, and stability.

Why Job request for airlines?

Managing crew operations is critical for any travel provider's service efficiency and delivery. Crew costs are the second-largest component of direct operating costs after fuel for most airlines. Flight delays and cancellations due to crew operations mismanagement are expensive. Crew shift management is, therefore, a significant factor in profitability. Efficient crew management when disruptions occur can be turned into a competitive advantage, affecting brand, bottom line, and operational efficiency. Cost reductions of a few percent can amount to significant savings for airlines.

That is why LEKAB has developed a cloud-based messaging solution, providing an automated crew call-out via SMS or app notifications to manage crew recovery caused by disruptions and on-the-day operational changes. It adapts seamlessly to the specific needs of airlines, railway companies, and cruise companies to optimize crew utilization.
