Avinode

Empty legs from Avinode

Request for empty leg in Avinode
Requested empty leg including positioning flights

Active integration with Avinode allows downloading requests for empty legs.

Once the empty leg request is downloaded to Leon, Leon creates the full routing including positioning legs if necessary. The aircraft selected in Leon is the same as sent in the empty leg request. If the aircraft does not exist in Leon, the request will not be accepted by Leon.

Leon also calculates the quotation amount based on the pricelists assigned to the aircraft in Settings > Fleet > Sales tab in the aircraft details.

If the downloaded request is for numerous empty legs and for different aircraft, the routing and the quotation are created for each one of them separately.

Edited empty leg request contains 'Avinode empty leg' label next to the 'VAT' box. By clicking on this label, user will get redirected to this request in Avinode.

Request sent from Avinode will show on the list as a new request with 'Avinode' label in 'Updated' column.

The process is as follows:

  • The request is sent 3rd party operators in Avinode
  • Once the 3rd party operator confirms the request in Avinode, then this request appears in Leon as a subcharter

Subcharted requested from Avinode will contain the details of the aircraft as well as aircraft photos, as long as available in Avinode.

The subcharter edit window is divided into 2 tabs:

  • BASIC - contains subcharter details such as aircraft details, crew details, contact details (email and phone no.) and aircraft photos, as long as available in Avinode
  • MESSAGES - possibility to reply directly to the Operator email (as long as it is available in 'BASIC' tab) or to Avinode. More information below

MESSAGES

'Messages' tab in Subcharter

In this tab, it is possible to reply to the Broker in Avinode or directly to the Operator.

In order to reply directly to the Operator, Operator's email has to be available in Avinode.

If it is available in Avinode, Leon will import it to Contact email box in 'BASIC' tab and additionally, Leon will automatically create this Operator as a Client in Leon Phonebook.

In order to reply to Operator press REPLY TO OPERATOR link and select:

  • AVINODE - this will reply to the Operator/Broker in Avinode
  • EMAIL - this will allow replying directly to Operator's email as long as it is available in 'BASIC' tab. 'Subcharter message' email template needs to be created in 'Settings' > 'Email templates'

Currently, replies from all the brokers will display under one 'Messages' window.

Leon identifier in Avinode

Example of Leon identifier in Avinode

It is possible to set up messaging in the way where the name of the person sending the reply to Avinode will show correctly in Avinode.

In order to set it up, edit personal profile (click on your name in the top-right corner of Leon) and go to the tab 'User Settings'.

In the field 'Avinode login' insert your personal login to Avinode.

This will connect both systems, so the next time you reply to the Avinode message, your Avinode name will appear.
