More Milestones

 Southern Charter joined the FSHub world in December 2021, and in the subsequent 3 years have turned over 10,000 flights, 7,000 hours, and over 3 million miles.  This is a pretty amazing achievement for our relatively small airline, and a credit to the dedication and hard work of all of our pilots.

More Charter Operations

 Thanks to the great work of Jacob we now have a far bigger range of charters available for pilots. These charters cover a great range of mission types, from medical transfers to moving jets around for maintenance.

Each of these charters have their own back story, which adds a whole new dimension to these flights.  Check this example of a charter being flown as I write this:

Charters now have a great story, with some randomness to keep them fresh!   Jacob has done an epic job setting these up, now it's time for us to fly some :)  And remember, the end of month reports will show how many charters we've flown ;-)

Access the Charters via the Crew Portal, or directly here:  [SCX Charters]

Monthly reports

FSHub recently launched Airline Reports covering a wide range of statistics, and as was pointed out on the SCX discord; "It's a hobby for stats!"

The reports feature, though in it's infantcy gave us an interesting insight into our operations and something which we will try to do each month.

Unfortunately not long after this report was created the feature was taken down for furter development, hopefully it will be available again for the end of June's report!
