myairops Alternative for Small Flight Departments
myairops is an enterprise-grade, web-delivered aircraft-management platform for multi-regulation operators. Sky Duty is the native, offline-first, self-serve alternative built for small flight departments at a transparent $39 per month per aircraft.
myairops is a broad, multi-regulation platform for mid-market and enterprise operators, quoted through a demo. Sky Duty is the opposite end of that range: a native iPhone and iPad app a small department can start today for a price you can see, with scheduling, logbook, maintenance, and expenses in one offline-first place.

myairops strengths
- Real multi-regulation depth — one platform across Part 91, 91K, 135, airlines, CAMOs, and FBOs
- Deep enterprise feature set — crew rostering with duty and fatigue rules, maintenance planning, finance and invoicing, and BI reporting
- An extensive integration ecosystem
- Enterprise security and compliance
- Established and backed — part of the Gama Aviation group
- White-glove onboarding with data migration and a dedicated customer success consultant
Sky Duty advantages
- Native iPhone and iPad app with true offline-first sync, not a web platform with a crew-only companion
- Transparent $39/mo per aircraft with unlimited users and a 14-day trial — no demo required
- Self-serve: add your tail numbers and start today instead of scheduling a sales call and a migration
- Right-sized for a small Part 91 or charter department rather than an enterprise, multi-reg operator
- Integrated pilot logbook with FAA currency that auto-fills from completed trips
- The visual iPad Gantt board and receipt-scanning expenses in one touch-first app
Why this comparison matters
myairops and Sky Duty both run flight operations, but they are aimed at opposite ends of the market. myairops is a mature, web-delivered platform with real depth: dozens of modules spanning schedule management, crew rostering with duty and fatigue rules, maintenance planning, finance and invoicing, and business-intelligence reporting, all multi-regulation aware across Part 91, Part 91K, Part 135, airlines, CAMOs, and FBOs. It carries an extensive integration ecosystem, enterprise security and compliance, and a lineage as part of the Gama Aviation group. For a mid-market or multi-fleet operator that needs that breadth, myairops is a serious, proven platform, and this comparison does not pretend otherwise. The trade-offs are price transparency, adoption weight, and form factor. myairops is quoted through a demo — there is no public price and no self-serve signup — and onboarding is a sales-led process with data migration and a dedicated customer success consultant. It is web-first: the iOS app is a crew companion that depends on the full platform and per-user activation, not a standalone, offline-first ops app. For a two-to-eight-aircraft Part 91 department, that breadth can be more system than the operation needs, at an enterprise-shaped cost and rollout. Sky Duty is built for that smaller operator. It is a native iPhone and iPad app, offline-first from the ground up, with the schedule, a pilot logbook with FAA currency, maintenance countdowns, and receipt-scanning expenses in one place — and a price you can see: $39 per month per aircraft with unlimited users and a 14-day trial you start in the app. It is deliberately not a multi-regulation enterprise suite; it does not compute duty-time legality, and it does not try to serve airlines or fractional programs. If you run a large or multi-reg operation, myairops is likely the better fit. If you run a small department and want a modern, self-serve app without a sales call, Sky Duty is the more direct one.
Switching from myairops
Switching from myairops to Sky Duty is a forward move, not a migration project. There is no demo to book and no onboarding to schedule: download the app, add your tail numbers, and Sky Duty pulls each aircraft from the FAA registry. Build the schedule on the Gantt board, and the logbook fills itself in from completed trips. Keep exporting whatever records you need out of myairops for your files; your Sky Duty data exports to PDF and CSV at any time. Weigh scope honestly first — if you depend on multi-regulation rostering, duty and fatigue rules, finance and invoicing modules, or enterprise integrations, those are areas myairops covers and Sky Duty does not.
