Regional charter operators fly the routes nobody else will — Dubbo to Broken Hill, Darwin to Gove, Cairns to Cape York. Your fleet is mixed: turboprops, piston twins, maybe a Caravan. Your quoting is Excel-based, your fuel planning is a wall chart, and your margins are invisible. FareBuild brings instant quoting, fuel-stop planning, and margin tracking to operators who've never had access to quoting software.
The problems you're solving with Excel
✗Remote strip operations need fuel planning
Flying a Chieftain from Darwin to a remote NT strip? You need to know if there's Avgas there, or if you need a fuel stop at Katherine. That's a manual calculation every time.
✗Mixed fleet makes quoting inconsistent
You've got a Chieftain, a Caravan, and a PC-12. Same route, different aircraft, wildly different costs. You need to quote all three and let the customer choose — but that's three separate Excel calculations.
✗No visibility on which routes are profitable
You fly 30 different routes a month. Which ones make money? Which ones lose money on ferry legs? If your quotes are in Excel files, you can't answer that.

How FareBuild fixes it
✓Aircraft recommender for mixed fleets
Enter the route and pax count. The recommender ranks your entire fleet by suitability — can fly direct, needs fuel stop, wrong aircraft for the job — with pricing for each option.
✓Fuel-stop planner with fuel type awareness
The planner knows which airports have Avgas vs Jet-A1. For piston twins, it routes through Avgas-equipped stops. For turboprops, Jet-A1 stops. Fuel stop costs are factored into the quote.
✓Margin tracking by route and aircraft
Every quote stores cost, price, and margin. Filter by route, by aircraft, by month. See which routes are subsidising which, and adjust pricing accordingly.
✓Freight mode alongside passenger quoting
Quote passenger charter and freight in the same tool. Freight mode takes weight, dimensions, and DG class instead of pax count — same pricing engine, different inputs.

Frequently asked questions
Does it handle piston aircraft that need Avgas?+
Yes. The fuel-stop planner is fuel-type aware. Piston aircraft are routed through Avgas-equipped stops; turbine aircraft through Jet-A1 stops. The planner won't suggest a fuel stop at an airport that doesn't stock your aircraft's fuel type.
Can I quote passenger and freight on the same route?+
Yes. The quote builder has a passenger mode (pax count, baggage) and a freight mode (weight, dimensions, DG class). Both use the same fleet database and pricing engine.
I have 4 different aircraft types. Can it recommend the right one?+
Yes. Enter the route and pax count, and the recommender ranks your entire fleet by suitability — range, pax capacity, runway requirements, and cost efficiency. You get a priced option for each capable aircraft.
