Altitude Manpower Planning (MPP) empowers airlines by providing the tools to strategically plan optimal and cost-effective, qualified and properly trained crew manpower levels. Improved short-term and long-term planning capabilities are at the core of Altitude MPP.

With information available at-a-glance (which would otherwise take days to compile from all the various departments) planners have a dynamic and integrated understanding of vacations, pre-assigned crew activities and crewmember availabilities several months at a time. Altitude MPP delivers ease-of-use, speed and improved forecasting capabilities - Altitude MPP becomes your "optimized window on the future" that allows you to accurately forecast future events.
