Leon Software has released Leon 229, introducing direct fuel ordering through World Kinect, enhanced flight time limitation (FTL) configuration and improvements to crew operations.
Announced on 2 November 2026, the release focuses on reducing manual coordination and providing operators with greater flexibility in managing crew duty requirements.
Direct Fuel Ordering Through World Kinect
One of the key developments is the ability to submit fuel orders directly from Leon through its World Kinect integration.
Previously supporting fuel pricing information, the integration now enables operators to send fuel requests electronically rather than relying on email-based communication.
For business aviation and charter operators managing flights across multiple airports, this creates a more connected workflow between flight planning, operational coordination and fuel procurement.
Enhanced Flight Time Limitation Configuration
Leon 229 introduces two additional FTL configuration options designed to accommodate specific provisions within operators’ Operations Manuals.
The first allows operators to configure how positioning duties contribute to duty calculations when a defined positioning-duration threshold is exceeded, subject to applicable rest conditions.
The second introduces separate reporting-time settings for flight crew and cabin crew, recognising that their reporting requirements may differ.
These changes provide greater flexibility when configuring crew duty calculations to reflect approved operational procedures.
Crew Planning and Operational Reporting Improvements
The release also introduces several enhancements to crew management.
Crew members temporarily operating away from their home base can now select the appropriate airport when submitting duty requests through the Leon Crew App.
Additional visibility of local nights supports minimum rest calculations where time-zone changes and crew acclimatisation are relevant.
Leon has also introduced a Journey Log field for recording traumatic events associated with a flight, supporting fatigue risk management processes.
New Report Wizard fields allow operators to monitor the double-days-off and quadruple-days-off FTL limits, providing more specific reporting capabilities for crew duty management.
Operational Significance
Leon 229 demonstrates how flight operations platforms are continuing to connect previously separate operational processes.
Direct fuel ordering reduces administrative coordination, while enhanced FTL settings allow operators to configure duty calculations more closely around their operational requirements.
Together, these developments support more integrated workflows across flight planning, crew management and day-to-day operations.
Leon Software is deploying version 229 progressively across its customer base.
