Leon 218 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.

Admin

• We expanded the FRMSc Safe integration configuration with the ability to filter crew members by labels. Operators can now specify which crew groups (based on assigned labels) should be included in the data sent to the fatigue management system. If no labels are configured, the integration behaves as before — data is sent for all crew members.

Crew

• We expanded the Crew Calendar view with the ability to display a Total Block Hours summary column for a selected date range. A new “Summary columns” section has been added to the settings menu (three dots), where you can choose one of three modes: Duty accounts balance, Total Block Hours, or Off & On days. Planners can now monitor total crew flight hours directly from the calendar view without generating separate reports. More information available here
• We added a new option to the Crew Currency configuration: Count pilot monitoring toward approach currencies. When enabled, flights performed in the Pilot Monitoring position are counted toward approach currency (3D, CDI), while takeoffs and landings are still not counted for that position. The feature addresses regulations of operators who distinguish currency requirements for PM from standard crew.
• We expanded the FTL window (accessible from Crew Calendar and Crew Timeline) with a new Commander's Discretion — Preceding rest reduction checkbox. The option works for both flights and positionings, allowing the preceding rest reduction to be marked under commander's authority. Previously, this option was unavailable for positionings.
• We fixed the display of the arrow on duties that cross midnight for crew positions marked as “Ignored” in FTL calculations. The arrow indicating a midnight crossing is now displayed for all positions, regardless of their setting in Aircraft Crew Positions.
• We added a warning in the OPS, Fleet Planning, and Sched modules when changing the aircraft type on a flight (tail swap): the system now displays a notification that one or more crew members do not have the required rating for the new aircraft type and were not assigned to the flight. Previously, this operation was performed without any notification.
• We added timezone support to the roster export from the Crew Calendar view (Print → Excel). Previously, the export was always performed in UTC; now the user receives a file reflecting times in the currently selected base timezone.

OPS

• We added two new columns to the OPS Table view: Parking Stand ADEP and Parking Stand ADES, which display the parking stand number at the departure and arrival airports respectively. The columns can be enabled from the settings menu (three dots). This makes ground planning and coordination with airport services more convenient directly from the flight list view.
• We introduced automatic filtering of airports in the ALTN and ALTN2 fields in the Flight tab of the OPS module. The suggestions list now includes only airports categorized in the operator's account (categories A, B, C and their variants), excluding category P airports. The change eliminates the need to manually search for the correct alternate airports.
• We added a new Journey Log item: End of Flight with a dropdown list containing reasons for early flight termination (Endurance, Tasking Complete, Weather, Customer Kit, Customer Request, Tech, ATC Request, FTL, Other). The field allows crew to record the reason for flight termination directly in the journey log, facilitating subsequent trend analyses and reporting.
• We added two new checkbox fields to Journey Log: Single Engine Taxi In and Single Engine Taxi Out. The fields allow crew to record whether single-engine taxiing was performed, and their values are available in Report Wizard for operational data analysis and reporting.
• We expanded SSIM import support in the Sched module to include the DEI 106 (Passenger Reservations Booking Designator) standard. This format is now correctly parsed in SSIM, ASM, and SSM messages, increasing compatibility with airlines using this reservation encoding.
• We expanded the SSIM import function in the OPS module: when updating existing flights, the system now displays detailed information about the parameters that will be changed before the final confirmation. The dispatcher can see exactly what will change and can consciously accept or reject the update.

Phonebook

• We expanded the contact creation API (personCreate and companyCreate mutations) with a number of missing fields that external integrations required. This allows partners integrating with Leon via the GraphQL API to fully map their contact data models without the need for manual completion afterward.
• We expanded the contact model with an External ID field, which allows linking a contact in Leon with the corresponding record in an external system. The feature is particularly useful for bidirectional synchronizations, where maintaining consistent identifiers between platforms is necessary.

Report Wizard / Reports

• We added a new scope in Report Wizard: FTL Sector. The report record is a single FTL sector (flight, positioning, etc.), and the available columns and filters include the user, position type (cockpit/cabin), and data resulting from FTL calculations. The scope allows creating detailed per diem reports and crew activity analyses at the sector level. Information available here. 

Sales

• We added the ability to configure Flight Time rounding to 5 or 10 minutes in the Sales module, analogous to the existing Block Time rounding feature. The rounding is applied only when automatically setting the flight time (from Avinode or using the calculation tool) and does not affect manually entered times. Click here for more details. 

Wingman and MCP

• We expanded the MCP toolkit with a new tool: fuel price retrieval at airports. The tool accepts a list of ICAO/IATA codes and returns fuel prices — both from the operator's fuel files and from active integrations. This complements the set of tools available for the AI assistant and external integrations using MCP.
• We updated the AI models used by Wingman, Document Manager, Email Templates, and Report Wizard to newer versions, resulting in improved quality and speed of generated responses. Additionally, Document Manager and Report Wizard now feature a model selector — you can now choose from available options, including Claude Sonnet and Claude Opus models, tailoring the AI tool to specific needs.

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