Yep, there is. It’s called OPSGROUP. We’re a big mix<\/strong>: pilots, dispatchers, controllers, managers, tech specialists, aviation authorities – all with one thing in common: International Flight Operations.<\/p>\n

Back in 2016,  we figured out that great things happen when we solve problems together. Change is the biggest challenge, so we tell each other when we hear of something new. We keep each other safe by sharing information on risks.<\/p>\n

Now we’d like you to get involved as well.<\/p>\n

Why join us?<\/strong> Good question. Well, because if you don’t, you’ll miss a change and look like a chump<\/strong>. We don’t want that. You might overfly Libya. You might divert to Cayenne. You’ll only find out about the new rules when your G650 is impounded. You’ll pick the wrong handler because you didn’t get to see that Airport Spy review on Santiago from another member. You won’t know about that exemption. You won’t have anyone to ask whether you should stop at Keflavik or Reykjavik.<\/p>\n

Life managing International Ops is hard enough without trying to do it all on your own. And we want you<\/strong>, because the more smart people like you we have in the group, the stronger it becomes. Pick a plan for yourself, or your team, or your entire flight department. There’s 1650 people waiting to answer your questions. And to pick your brain.<\/p>\n

Read the reviews<\/strong><\/a> from existing members, and see why everyone from Airbus to the British Antarctic Survey to United Airlines is in the group. (hint: we’re all doing the same thing, and it’s getting easier).<\/p>\n

New members<\/b> – that’s you – are welcomed several times a year<\/b>. The current status is notified on this page<\/a>. To make sure that new members are fully supported, and the existing group retains its high quality, we limit joining to window periods during the year.
\nIf we’re closed, you can join the waitlist<\/b><\/a> to be notified of the next opening window.<\/p>\n
