Built like the real thing.

SkyFactor replicates what real airlines and dispatch offices use — Sabre and Lido for dispatch, ForeFlight-class EFBs for pilots — then hands it to the virtual aviation community.

The idea

One platform, every role.

Most virtual airlines stitch together half a dozen tools: a pilot client, a dispatch spreadsheet, a roster, a traffic site. SkyFactor collapses that into one role-based client with a shared live data core.

The pilot's EFB is one cockpit of the whole airline. Dispatchers, controllers, company staff and observers all work the same fleet, the same flights, the same truth.

Five roles · one platform
Real data

No fake databases.

SkyFactor leans on the industry-standard sources instead of reinventing them — Navigraph AIRAC cycles for procedures, SimBrief for flight planning, and live VATSIM and IVAO feeds whenever you choose to fly online. Everything works with any flight simulator, with no network required.

  • Navigraph / AIRAC navigation data
  • VATSIM v3 + IVAO live feeds (optional — offline flying is fully supported)
  • SimBrief OFP loading
  • OurAirports-style open datasets as base layers
