HOW IT WORKS
From trip plan to in app payment, with AI matching in between.
Velari is a two-sided marketplace. The full hire cycle (plan, apply, confirm, invoice) runs inside one app. Here's what each side sees.
Operator plans the trip.
A U.S. operator certificate holder opens Velari, picks one of the aircraft they've registered in Fleet Management, and plans the trip: aircraft, route, dates, role needed and a daily pay rate.
AI matches the closest qualified crew to your aircraft.
The moment a trip goes live, Velari ranks every credentialed pilot and flight attendant by type rating, currency, day rate and how close they are to the departure airport. The right person at the top of the list, not whoever happened to apply first.
Qualified crew apply with their own day rate.
Surfaced crew get an alert and apply on a dedicated screen at their personal per-day rate. Operators see every certificate, medical, and type rating in the profile before they reply.
Hire inside the app.
Message the applicants you like, confirm your pick, and lock the assignment. Both sides get an alert. No phone trees. No group chats.
Trip completion
After the trip, crew submit expenses for operator approval inside the Trip Cost tab. Velari CRM rolls approved expenses, no surprise charges.

THE STANDARD
Engineered for a regulated industry. Audited like one.
Aviation people don't take marketing claims at face value, and they shouldn't. Velari is built to the same standards operators already answer to. Identity, workflow, money. All of it on the record.
Verified credentials
Every pilot and flight attendant uploads their ATP or commercial certificate, current medical, type ratings, and training records. We check every document inside the app, line by line.
Built for operators and flight departments
Velari is built around U.S. operators flying their own aircraft. We supply the contract crew. You bring the trips.
Encrypted by default
Every credential, medical, and trip record is protected with AES-256 at rest and TLS 1.3 in transit. Access is least privilege by default.
No charter brokering
Velari is a crew staffing app, not a charter broker. We never sell passenger seats, never touch your trip revenue, and never compete with you for the flight.
Simple invoicing
Once the trip is closed and expenses are reconciled, Velari sends one simple invoice covering crew pay and our placement fee. No surprise charges.
U.S. based, U.S. focused
Velari operates inside the United States today. Built by aviation experts, run out of New Jersey, supporting operators coast to coast.
