Network Manager
The Network Manager is a visual, map-based tool for building and maintaining your route network. Instead of editing schedules one form at a time, you see your entire network drawn on a world map and work directly with the routes: pick a route, review the flights on it, and create, edit, activate, or remove schedules without leaving the page.
It works on the same schedules as the Schedules list — it is simply a faster, more visual way to author them. Anything you change here is reflected in the schedules list, the pilot-facing schedules map, and bookings.

Routes on the map
Every route in your network is drawn as an arc between two airports:
- A route ("pair") groups together every flight that goes from the same departure airport to the same final destination. If you have three different flight numbers from London to New York, they appear as one arc on the map with a count, so the map stays readable.
- The arc is colored by the airline that operates most of the flights on that route.
- Multi-leg flights (for example London → Paris → Rome) are represented by their start and final destination. The route's distance reflects the great-circle distance from the first departure to the final arrival.
Select any route — on the map or in the list panel — to open its detail view.
The list and detail panels
The left panel lists every route in your network.
Filtering. Type in the search box to match airport codes, city names, flight numbers, and callsigns. Dropdowns above the list narrow the network further:
- Airline — show only routes flown by one airline.
- Status — show only active, or only inactive, routes.
- Family / Sub-fleet / Aircraft — show only routes that can be flown by a given fleet family, sub-fleet, or individual aircraft. Routes whose schedules allow any aircraft always match.
Collapsing the panel. Use the chevron in the panel header to slide the list out of the way and give the map more room — handy on smaller screens such as tablets. A floating button on the left edge slides it back.
When you select a route, the detail panel shows every schedule on it, including:
- Flight number and callsign.
- The full leg-by-leg path for multi-leg flights.
- Whether each schedule is currently active.
- The aircraft allowed to fly it.
Creating and editing a schedule
- Select a route (or start a new schedule from the detail panel).
- Click New Schedule to open the editor.
- The departure and arrival default to the route you selected. Set the commercial flight number and ATC flight number.
- Optionally set a start date and expiration date, and choose which aircraft are allowed (see below).
- Save. The map and list update immediately — no page reload.
If you change a schedule's departure or final destination, it automatically moves to the correct route on the map. If that leaves the old route with no schedules, the old arc disappears.
Aircraft allowlist
Each schedule can restrict which aircraft may fly it. You select allowed aircraft at three levels:
| Level | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Fleet | An entire fleet type (for example, all A320s). |
| Subfleet | A specific subfleet (for example, A320-200 CFM). |
| Aircraft | A single individual aircraft by registration. |
If you leave the allowlist empty, all aircraft are allowed to fly the schedule. Selecting a fleet or subfleet conveniently covers everything inside it.
The aircraft picker shows fleets, their subfleets, and individual tails as a tree. Selecting a fleet selects everything under it; you can then narrow down to specific subfleets or tails.
Activating and deactivating
Each schedule has an active toggle in the detail panel. Turning it off makes the schedule unavailable for booking without deleting it — useful for seasonal routes or temporary suspensions. For multi-leg flights, the toggle applies to the whole sequence at once.
A schedule is bookable by pilots only when it is active and today's date is within its start/expiration window.
Deleting a schedule
Deleting a schedule from the detail panel removes the entire flight, including all legs of a multi-leg sequence. You are asked to confirm first. If the deleted schedule was the last one on its route, the route's arc is removed from the map.
Deletion removes all legs of a multi-leg flight. If you only want to take a flight offline temporarily, use the active toggle instead.
How it compares to the Schedules page
The Schedules list and the Network Manager edit the same data. Use whichever fits the task:
- Network Manager — best for getting a visual overview of your whole network and making quick edits route by route.
- Schedules list — best for detailed per-schedule configuration (restrictions, ranks, payload profiles, activity log) and for CSV import/export of large batches.
