Project Description
Your airline is facing unprecedented challenges.
See how your Crews can help you tackle some of them.
Any airline's CREWS represent key human assets requiring from the executive team the level of attention they tryly deserve. They also represent your airline's first interface with its passengers and other business partners.
It is therefore the responsability of any airline's management to offer the airline's CREWS their full attention leading to improved working conditions and a higherr level of satisfaction in their jobs.
Everyone will benefit from this extra attention:
- Your CREWS will see their working conditions and therefore level of job satisfaction improve
- Your PASSENGERS and other business partners will get more attention and improved service from more satified crews
- The airline’s MANAGEMENT will ripe immediate benefits from an improved social environment and reduced operating costs.
FBS Partners prides itself in providing highly customized solutions aas part of its commitment to offer excellence in customer service for all domains of an airline's crew hotel and transportation operations.
FBS Partners was created in 2012 by Florence BAUDOIN, a seasoned travel executive with more than 10 years of experience as EMEA Business Development Director with leading international Crew Services providers.
At last, smaller airlines can access now
the same level of service & attention
than legacy carriers
Florence's thoughtful decision to follow her own path was motivated by a desire to offer highler customized and affordable Crew Services to smaller-sized airlines that could not otherwise get or afford the level of attention and service they deserve.
Why choose FBS Partners ?
FBS Partners' unique buying power enables them to negotiate aggressive, highly competitive hotel crew rates later passed to airlines by helping hotels achieve a balanced portfolio.
FBS Partners' unique sourcing and contracting experiences allow them to offer airlines the best possible solutions for crew accommodations, uniquely customized to the airline's needs while ensuring quality, sustainable contract terms and cost savings.
Smaller airlines - whether they fly internationaly or within their national borders, share most of the time a set of common caracteristics and needs:
- Limited internal resources (if any!). Airlines lack professional teams of duly measured performance dedicated to the provision and monitoring of crew services
- Focus on short-term, operational considerations rather than longer term financial strategic objective
- Reliance on costly support from last-minute external providers offering uneven service performance in case of unexpected irregular operations requiring extra attention
- Reduced attention given to the human aspects of the side of the airline’s operations (crews and their passengers).
How does FBS Partners' service work ?
Step 1
Your Airline and FBS Partners agree on the scope of the support and services provided by FBS Partners. In particular, both parties select the cities and/or airports to be included in the Agreement as well as the detailed range of services to be provided by FBS Partners.
Step 2
FBS Partners researches the market and proposes your Airline various alternatives for the various types of services requested at the location(s) selected in Step 1.
FBS Partners does NOT charge your Airline directly for their services. All proposed rates are inclusive of any commissions (FBS Partners is commissioned by the service providers).
Step 3
Your airline shortlists the hotels and ground transportation providers. FBS Partners subsequently organizes site inspection(s) and reports to your Airline.

FBS Partners assists and advises its airlines partners throughout the entire process. FBS Partners commits to work closely with its customer - then partners – as part of its global effort to provide the best solutions possible for the airline's crews accommodations and transportation thus ensuring quality, sustainable contract terms and cost savings.
