AIMS review
A broad airline crew-operations suite for planning, compliance, records, and self-service.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
AIMS is an airline software suite for passenger, cargo, charter, business jet, and helicopter operators. Its crew-management scope spans long-term and short-term planning, crew pairings, schedule generation, manual and automatic assignment, duty-regulation maintenance, legality checks, training records, leave and vacation bidding, guaranteed days off, fatigue-risk evaluation, medical records, costing, and crew communication. A crew web portal supports schedules, requests, messages, and trip trades. The product is suited to airlines that need crew operations connected with broader operations control and commercial planning rather than a standalone scheduling tool.
Pricing is handled through a contact-sales process. The vendor's contact page directs prospects to an RFI for product and pricing information, so buyers should expect the commercial discussion to be part of evaluating the platform. AIMS is offered through cloud hosting or airline-managed self-hosted deployment, giving operators a choice between vendor-hosted access and greater control over their own deployment environment. That flexibility may fit airlines with established technology operations, while the breadth of the suite may be more than a smaller team needs if its priority is only basic roster creation.
Integration breadth is a notable part of the product's operational fit. AIMS lists connections with OAG Flight Guide, CARI-6, EPCARD, PCAIRE, SITA, and ARINC, alongside web access and mobile-device apps for selected crew and operations workflows. The published capability set also includes duty rules, qualification tracking, fatigue management, crew assignment, availability management, and mobile access. Airlines should choose AIMS when they want planning, compliance, records, crew self-service, and costing in one aviation-focused environment. Operators seeking only a lightweight scheduling calendar or transparent self-service pricing should consider a narrower alternative.
