What Is Stratos FMS™?
A Private Aviation Operating System
Stratos FMS™ is a private aviation operating system — not a marketplace or listing platform. It manages the full private jet charter lifecycle, from sourcing and quoting to booking, coordination, payments, and real-time trip management.
It is used by every Stratos agency and our headquarters team to manage the full lifecycle of each flight, ensuring that every flight — regardless of which agency you work with — is managed under the same standards, workflows, and operational discipline.
Every Stratos agency. Every flight. One unified system.

How the System Works
End-to-End Workflow Across the Network
Behind every flight are dozens of moving parts — aircraft, crew, timing, and logistics. Stratos FMS™ is the system that keeps those moving parts aligned, even as conditions change.
Phase 01
Sourcing & Validation
-
1
Request & Sourcing
Agencies access real-time aircraft availability and pricing through FindFlight, connected directly to a curated network of pre-screened operators via LiveQuote™ integration.
-
2
Due Diligence & Validation
Every flight flows through HQ-enforced standardized checks: operator vetting, aircraft suitability, insurance verification, and pre-departure validatio
Phase 02
Booking & Control
-
3
Quoting & Booking
Structured quoting, contract execution, and approvals managed within the system.
-
4
Coordination & Execution
Centralized coordination ensures consistency across all flights, regardless of agency or origin.
-
5
Payments & Financial Controls
All transactions are processed and tracked within Stratos FMS™, ensuring transparency and control.
Phase 03
Execution & Accountability
-
6
FlightDeck™ Client Experience
Clients manage itinerary details, add passengers, request catering and ground transport, make changes, and access full flight history.
-
7
Post-Flight Accountability
Every mission’s performance is logged into the FMS, informing future sourcing decisions and ensuring we only work with operators who meet real-world execution standards.
LiveQuote™
Real-Time Intelligence That Powers Better Outcomes
LiveQuote™ is the proprietary integration engine at the heart of Stratos FMS™. It delivers instant, accurate aircraft availability and pricing by connecting directly to participating operators’ systems — eliminating guesswork, outdated listings, and “phantom availability.”
Qualified Demand, Seamless Integration
Efficient exposure to structured trip opportunities, reduced manual quoting friction, and a greater share of Stratos-generated revenue — aligned with the client-focused standards of Risk-Managed Private Aviation™.
From Data to Execution
One Coordinated Operating Environment
LiveQuote™ does more than surface real-time options — it feeds directly into the Stratos FMS™ operating system. Every quote, aircraft selection, and operator commitment flows into a standardized framework where pricing, safety, coordination, and mission execution are monitored and managed as one coordinated system.
This is how Stratos transforms fragmented charter transactions into a controlled operating environment — delivering the consistency and risk management that clients expect on every flight.
Consistency You Can’t Get From a Typical Broker
In most of private aviation, each broker operates differently. Processes vary. Standards vary. Outcomes vary. Stratos FMS™ eliminates that inconsistency.
You receive a consistent experience across every Stratos agency
Your flight is managed under the same standards, regardless of who books it
Payments and coordination follow the same structure
Oversight does not depend on the individual broker
The FMS continuously evaluates the mission and tracks changes in real time
Potential problems are addressed early — not just at booking
How Stratos FMS™ Enables Risk-Managed Private Aviation™
Where the Framework Becomes Reality
Risk-Managed Private Aviation™ is not just a philosophy — it is enforced through Stratos FMS™. Because every step of the journey is managed within the platform:
01
Curated Sourcing
Limited to a curated, pre-screened network of operators with documented safety performance.
02
LiveQuote™ Integration
Many operators are directly integrated through LiveQuote™ — real-time availability and pricing under strict quality standards.
03
Standardized Due Diligence
Standardized and enforced, the same way, for every flight — across every agency.
04
Continuous Monitoring
Real-time data supports continuous monitoring and coordination through departure and beyond.
05
FlightGuard™ Integrated
Mechanical recovery protection is wired into the workflow — not bolted on afterward.
06
Centralized Execution
Payments and execution are controlled centrally for transparent, accountable outcomes.
Stratos FMS™ vs Traditional Charter Models
Standardized System vs Individual Process
