This enhancement removes a common blocker when aircraft details aren’t finalized at the time a request is submitted—helping you keep operations moving without delays or workarounds.
Why This Matters
In real‑world operations, the tail number isn’t always known up front—especially for managed fleets, charter operations, or last‑minute aircraft swaps.
Previously, FlightBridge requests without a tail number:
Didn’t appear in X‑1FBO, or
Couldn’t be accepted or synced successfully
Now, those same requests come through cleanly and reliably, so your team can take action right away.
What’s New
With this update:
✅ Incoming FlightBridge requests no longer require a tail number
✅ Requests without aircraft information now appear normally in your Incoming Requests queue
✅ You can accept and sync the request successfully
✅ Aircraft details can be added later, once available
Best of all—no setup or configuration is required. This behavior is enabled automatically.
How NOTAIL Requests Work
When a FlightBridge request is received without a tail number:
The request appears in Incoming Requests just like any other.
You’ll be prompted to map or select the customer.
Even if the aircraft field is blank, the request can be accepted and synced.
Once the tail number is known, you can update the aircraft details at any time.
No interruptions. No rejected requests. No extra steps.
Common Scenarios This Supports
This enhancement is especially helpful when:
Aircraft assignments are confirmed closer to arrival
Multiple aircraft may be used interchangeably
Reservations are submitted before tail numbers are finalized
High‑volume or managed flight programs need flexibility
If you’ve ever thought, “We’ll get the tail number later,” — this feature was built for you.
Good to Know
A tail number is not required to receive or accept the request
The aircraft can still be added or updated later
This applies specifically to incoming FlightBridge requests
No permissions, toggles, or database settings are needed
In Summary
✅ Requests without tail numbers are now supported
✅ Operations stay moving—even with incomplete aircraft info
✅ Cleaner workflows, fewer blockers, happier teams
