# Aeriel > Aeriel is a real-time, cloud-based management and flight-scheduling platform for business aircraft operators and charter airlines (AOC holders) and private flight departments - "the brain of your airline". It runs sales and Avinode quoting, dispatch, fleet calendar, crew duty (FTL), licensing, maintenance limits, finance, statistics, safety management (SMS) and ReFuelEU compliance in one live system, with Aeriel AI working on the operator's own data. "FMS" in connection with Aeriel means flight management software for an operator's business, not onboard avionics. Aeriel is made by Aeriel Software, s.r.o., Prague, Czech Republic (aeriel@aeriel.cz, +420 602 187 870). It has been built around real operators since 2018 and has been publicly available since 2023; publicly named customers are Aeropartner and Air Bohemia. Prices are not published - they are quoted on enquiry. What sets Aeriel apart: - **One live system for every department.** Sales, ops, crew, safety, maintenance and finance share one record; every open browser updates the moment anything changes. - **Tailored per operator.** Limits, request types, duty rules, safety forms, documents and permissions are per-operator configuration. All numbers Aeriel shows are configurable defaults. - **Ownership.** Three licences: Aeriel Cloud (hosted SaaS), Aeriel Lifetime (one-time purchase, self-hosted, full source code) and Aeriel Lifetime in Cloud (source code ownership with managed hosting). Unlimited users, flights and historical import; unlimited aircraft with Lifetime. - **AI built in.** Statistics Insights, Safety Assistant, Passenger Data Extractor, NOTAM and weather summaries, trip cautions, a company-documents knowledge base, and an MCP server for external AI agents.
