System integrations for efficient airline operations


You may have heard that the system integration capabilities of the skybook aviation software and EFB app is one of the most complete, within the flight operations software market. Although, you might not know exactly what integrations can be included in skybook.

Below is a short overview of the main integrations we support to help improve the workflow of flight operations by providing a centralized data management system.
