Can we have a flight plan format using the Flightkeys format?
Currently used by American Airlines, Southwest Airlines, Air New Zealand, Volotea, TUI, Allegiant, Breeze, Endeavor Air, Envoy Air, JetBlue, Sunwing Airlines, and Air Canada.
Cheers
For what it’s worth, Simbrief already supports AAL, SWA, JBU and ACA formats.

And every one of those operators can still use their old format. One nice thing in the FKY world is that they can duplicate with near perfection what an operator had in the past format-wise, since they’re almost all dot-matrix based. There is no need to adopt the corporate FKY format, if there is one.
Plus, with the prevalence of EFBs, most of those operators, at least in the US, killing a tree and using a paper flight plan is so 80s anymore almost no one does now. Even in Class II airspace, the operator’s EFB can do all the position report recording the old marked up paper OFP used to do.
I hadn’t heard about ACA; word around the campfire is that a huge southernjets operator based in the SE US is in the process of joining the FKY world as well.
ACA is still with LIDO for what it’s worth.
The AAL and SWA formats on SimBrief are current and represent the FlightKeys versions. The JBU is not current however, though it’s not clear how long it might be before we can update it.
