This function allows you to activate and manage your airline’s bases. A Base is where the crew originate and always return to, in order to avoid station conflicts. You can access the Bases area through this icon:
In here, you specify all of the crew bases used by the company.
To create a new base, click the New button and the following window displays:
Field | Description |
Name | Enter the name of the base. This is a mandatory field where you end free-text in the dialogue box. You can enter a maximum of 100 characters. |
Shortcode | Enter the shortcode of the base. This is maximum of five characters. |
Active | If the base is used, check this box. |
Base Type | Select the Hub (Network planning) or Human Resource (Crew planning) for the base. |
Parent Base | If the base has a connection to another base, select the appropriate option from the dropdown list. |
Station | Select the three-letter IATA code for the station that the base refers to and select a Valid From and Valid To date. Once these parameters are defined, select the Add button. |
For the system to work correctly, the base's IATA code must be added in the Station list.
