iFly Staff & Corporate Travel

Enabling seamless and compliant business and leisure travel through end-to-end booking, approval, and reporting management

Staff Travel Management

Staff travel privilege is a major perk for airline staff. It attracts as well as helps to retain people with a penchant for globetrotting either as part of their job or by availing leisure travel concessions for free or discounted travel. Airlines formulate policies to address the concession eligibility of staff and beneficiaries based on parameters like their role, seniority, allocation, onboard and upgrade priority, but managing these policies and enforcing them are a daunting task. It may still result in a huge backlog of requests, significant administrative overhead, and ticketing delays, leading to overall dissatisfaction.

iFly Staff is a fully automated SaaS solution that addresses these specific challenges and offers a comprehensive staff travel experience for all types of carriers. Staff can themselves book flights and hotels in a single flow while administrators get full management control to create policy-based rules without the need for any technical support. Through integrations with other airline systems like reservation systems, HRMS, and payment gateways, the solution provides a seamless booking and management experience for airline staff.
