Leon 217 released

We have recently initiated the deployment of a new version of Leon. Over the next coming days, customers will gradually transition to the updated version. If you encounter any functions that are not working as expected, please notify us via the Customer Portal.

Important Notices

• Starting July 1st, anonymous ticket submissions will no longer be supported in the Customer Portal. All users will be required to log in before submitting a support request. If you haven't registered yet, please create an account at Customer Portal.

Admin

• Added the ability to edit the name of private handlers and suppliers. Previously, once a private contractor was added, there was no way to change its name — now it can be modified without any issue.

Crew

• Redesigned the settings menu (three dots) in Crew Calendar. In the new settings dialog you can now choose which summary columns should be visible: duty account balances and days off / working days.
• Added validation of crew member certificates when creating a duty in Crew Calendar. When a planner creates a duty with an assigned aircraft, the system automatically checks whether the given crew member holds valid certificates required for that aircraft — taking into account the aircraft type, position, and AOC. If certificates are invalid or missing in the system, after clicking Save a list of warnings appears with the exact details of the missing qualifications. The planner may ignore the warnings and save the duty anyway — the mechanism works analogously to the validation in the Assign Crew view on the Crew Timeline. More information here.

Crew App

• Expanded the PAX creation form in the Crew App with new fields: Mobile, Remarks, Social Security number, and Company. The Company field defaults to the company assigned as the client of the given trip, with the option to manually select another. This allows planners to enter more complete passenger data directly in the mobile app — without the need to fill them in later in the main system.

FTL

• Extended support for Australian aviation regulations (OML) with a new rule regarding pilots over 65 years of age. According to the requirements of the Australian CAA, pilots of this age may only operate domestic flights in Australia — that is, to airports with an ICAO code starting with "Y". In Crew Training settings this option can now be enabled, and if a planner tries to assign such a pilot to a flight outside Australia, the system will display a warning.

OPS

• Fixed the display of flights in the OPS calendar in the Local Time (LT) view. Flights that started in the UTC timezone and fell on a different day in local time were invisible in the LT view — they now appear correctly.
• Added a new entry in the Journey Log — "Cosmic Radiation". Operators that need to record cosmic radiation data in the onboard journey log can now do so directly in the JL.
• Added a new entry in the Journey Log — "Diversion reason". Thanks to this, crews can enter the reason for a flight route change in the JL without having to use the general remarks field.
• Expanded the handling of DEI messages in SSIM — added support for DEI 201, DEI 503, and DEI 505 types. This allows for the correct import and export of flight schedules containing these message types, which is important for data exchange with airports and slot systems.

Sales

• Fixed a bug that caused quotations without an assigned currency to be displayed or processed incorrectly. Quotations without a currency are now handled properly, and operators will not encounter errors when working with such documents.
• Expanded the permissions system in the Sales module with an additional access control option - Assignee-Only RFQ Access. It allows the visibility of RFQs to be restricted to those directly assigned to a given user. As a result, sales staff see only their own requests, not the entire list of RFQs in the organization. Additionally, the user has limited RFQ modification permissions. They can view the route but cannot modify it, change the base or assignee, or create new RFQs. This option is configured at the permissions group level in system settings. More information here.
• Improved the integration with Airport Charges — fuel prices are now retrieved automatically when creating or updating an RFQ. All operators using this integration will see fuel prices filled in without manual searching, which speeds up flight quotation preparation. The “Auto calculate landing fee” option is enabled in the configuration under Add-ons.

In addition to the features mentioned above, changes have been made to Leon API, which can be reviewed in the provided changelog.
