Luscinia Aviation

About

Luscinia is the operations platform for Part 135 charter operators and corporate flight departments. Built for the people who actually run the operation — pilots, dispatchers, chief pilots, and directors of operations — Luscinia replaces the patchwork of spreadsheets, email threads, and paper binders that aviation has lived with for too long. Luscinia was previously known as Contrails.
