Startup Airline Streamlines Training from the Start

MINT Software Systems has successfully implemented MINT TMS for the startup commercial airline Avelo Airlines. Avelo launched MINT’s solution in September of 2024, complete with third-party integrations, executing this project in just eighteen months. The first nine-month phase of this project was for Avelo’s flight crew, and the second nine-month phase expanded the project to cover the inflight crew and integrations.

“With six months of using the solution, we see an incredible value in MINT TMS for managing our training records and qualifications for our flight crews,” says Scott Hall, Avelo Airlines Head of Flight Operations.

MINT TMS is a web-based training management system that helps aviation operators comply with regulations by simplifying every part of the training cycle. In addition to qualification management, MINT TMS uses intelligent decision-making in its algorithm to forecast, plan, and optimize training schedules to cut costs, reduce labor, and better utilize instructors, classrooms, and flight simulator time. MINT TMS’ reporting allows training departments to analyze layers of data and uncover important trends to improve training performance.

Avelo Airlines also implemented MINT’s PRD add-on to automatically send required pilot training records directly to the FAA's Pilot Records Database, saving time and reducing human errors. Using MINT's Calendar Sync add-on, training schedules within MINT TMS are automatically synced with Avelo’s third-party calendar application, eliminating double booking and simplifying operations. Additional integrations between MINT TMS and Avelo’s internal systems improve efficiency by reducing data redundancies.

“MINT’s team helped us work quickly to implement their TMS. We leaned on their experience helping airlines to integrate a complete solution that works seamlessly with our operations,” says Hall.

“The benefit of working with a new airline is that we can move faster to put our solution into place. We can consult clients on the best practices for using MINT TMS in the most efficient way, helping them save costs and time from the very start. By integrating with their systems, Avelo’s training department benefits from a complete solution with less redundancies and easier compliance oversight,” says Nick Denton, Chief Customer Officer of MINT.
