# What are the best Airline Route Planning software options for 11-50 employee teams that streamline operations efficiently?

We're researching the best airline route planning software options for 11-50 employee teams that streamline operations efficiently, since a lean team can't absorb the setup overhead that a larger carrier's IT department would just handle in the background. In reviewing options within the category, we noticed most reviewer activity clusters around a small handful of tools, so this is closer to an early-stage read than a settled ranking. Three names came up most often in the data available for this segment: AIMS Commercial Planning, FL3XX, and RocketRoute.

Here are the tools that surfaced in that research:

  1. AIMS Commercial Planning: A reviewer at a small operator specifically called it a reliable route planning system that's user-friendly for businesses trying to streamline their scheduling process.
  2. FL3XX Aviation Management: Reviewers at smaller business aviation operators point to fast setup and strong support as reasons it fits lean teams without a dedicated ops department.
  3. RocketRoute: Built for individual and small-team flight planning across PCs, tablets, and phones, though reviewer sentiment here is mixed on pricing relative to the feature set.
  4. Airpas: Positioned specifically around route cost management and profitability, though it currently has no G2 reviews, so this is based on its own product description rather than reviewer evidence.

For teams in this size range, how much of the setup did you handle in-house versus needing vendor support to get it running?

RocketRoute is fundamentally a single-pilot flight planning tool, useful across PCs, tablets, and phones, but built around one person planning one flight. AIMS and FL3XX are built around an operations team coordinating scheduling across multiple aircraft and crews, which is a different problem even at the same headcount. An 11-50 person shop that's really one or two pilots plus support staff is closer to RocketRoute's use case; the same headcount running several aircraft with dispatch and crew scheduling needs the coordination layer the other two are actually built around. Team size is the variable in the question, but fleet size and crew coordination complexity is probably the variable that actually decides which of these fits. ##### Comment Metadata - Posted at: 3 days ago - Author title: Tech Consultant ## Related discussions - [How well does Trello scale into a larger team?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/1-how-well-does-trello-scale-into-a-larger-team) - Posted at: over 13 years ago - Comments: 6 - [Can we please add a new section](https://www.g2.com/discussions/2-can-we-please-add-a-new-section) - Posted at: over 13 years ago - Comments: 0 - [Quantifiable benefits from implementing your CRM](https://www.g2.com/discussions/quantifiable-benefits-from-implementing-your-crm) - Posted at: over 13 years ago - Comments: 4
