Connecting the Skies
This past year, our reach extended far beyond flight schools and pilots. We’ve begun to deploy strategic relationships that will further solidify our position as a global force in the aviation landscape. Our platforms are not just tools; they serve as the interwoven framework binding aviators and aviation enthusiasts worldwide.
To better support our partners we continue to take security and compliance seriously. At the end of 2023, FSP received SOC 2 Type II attestation. We’re always continuing to work to improve the environments for our customers and partners. The SOC 2 attestation is an example of that commitment. Johanson Group LLP completed the examination of Flight Schedule Pro’s software platform and the SOC 2 Controls were found to be suitably designed and operating effectively throughout the test period.
