Scheduling Sidecar To Be Unveiled At NBAA Schedulers
Conference
National Air Transportation Association (NATA) President James
K. Coyne announced this week a partnership with Scheduling Sidecar
Inc. (SSC), a new fuel research and optimization program that
complements flight planning software.
NATA says the new software suite works alongside an
operator’s existing trip scheduling program to provide flight
planners additional data to plan trips cost effectively. This data
includes contract fuel availability and the operator’s
specific negotiated contract fuel pricing at single or multiple
destination.
SSC automatically provides cost saving fueling options at
alternate airports near flight destinations, allowing trip
schedulers to plan a trip efficiently. SSC also provides valuable
information regarding participating FBOs, including their pricing,
amenities and participation in programs such as NATA’s Safety
1st training.
Scheduling Sidecar will be officially unveiled next week at the
National Business Aviation Association's 20th Annual Schedulers
& Dispatchers Conference in Long Beach, CA. SSC Founder Andy
Priester will be in attendance to discuss the new program at the
NATA booth (#917).
"Using Scheduling Sidecar over traditional methods of fuel
research and procurement increases operational efficiency and
reduces costs. It also provides the convenience of easy fuel
ordering, from any Internet accessible location and for
multi-airport trips, with a single click," said Priester.
"With a recession comes serious financial belt-tightening,"
Coyne added. "During these difficult economic times, NATA continues
to look for opportunities for the association’s membership to
reduce costs while maximizing efficiency. As part of this effort,
NATA is pleased to announce this new partnership with Scheduling
Sidecar."
