How Frost Aviation Centralized a 15-Aircraft Operation

The challenge

Before Sky Schedule, Frost Aviation Services was a busy school running on too many tools. Scheduling lived in one place. Student records lived somewhere else. Billing sat in a third. Reporting was cobbled together by hand. Denise Frost had tried 27 different scheduling platforms. At roughly 140 active students, 200 flights a month, and 15 aircraft, another workaround was not going to hold.

Sound familiar?

Most flight schools outgrow their first tools the same way. You add another tab, another export, another workaround, and suddenly your team is managing the software instead of running the operation.

The solution

Frost put scheduling, billing, student progress, reporting, payroll tracking, fleet maintenance, and CRM in Sky Schedule. The setup matched how Chris and Denise Frost actually run the school: custom reservation types, the reporting they use, and payroll tracking the way their team works.

A 15-aircraft operation does not fit a rigid template. Sky Schedule bent to their workflow instead of forcing them to change it.

“I've tried 27 different scheduling softwares. No joke. Sky Schedule is by far the best. The team is super interactive, and the response is immediate.”

The results

• One system after 27 scheduling platforms
• About 140 students and 200+ flights a month on Sky Schedule
• 15 aircraft, scheduling, billing, and records in one place
• Support that keeps up with a seven-day operation

Frost Aviation Services now has a live source of truth for dispatch, scheduling, and records. They are not shopping for scheduler number 28.
