Our promise

Every flight we approve follows the rules, the paperwork, and the people behind it.

SkyFuns manually vets every pilot, verifies licenses and medicals with national authorities, and validates that each operation aligns with EASA Air Ops Regulation: Commission Regulation (EU) No 965/2012 (Air Operations). Aircraft, documentation, and emergency partners are reviewed continuously so passengers know exactly who fly with and why they are approved.

Pilot licences cross-checked with ANAC & EASA references 42-point aircraft & insurance validation renewed every 90 days 24/7 safety desk aligned with national emergency responders

Compliance is checked before we say “yes”

Our safety desk works directly with Portuguese civil aviation authorities to verify every licence number, medical certificate, and insurance policy. We only activate pilots and aircraft that comply with Commission Regulation (EU) No 965/2012 on Air Operations, EU Regulation (EC) No 216/2008, and ANAC circulars governing cost-shared flights. If documentation lapses, listings are paused automatically until evidence is reviewed.

Licence verification: We confirm licence status directly with ANAC records and require pilots to authorise data disclosure.
Operational oversight: Flight plans, crew currency, and aircraft limitations are checked against EASA Air Ops Part-NCO provisions.
Audit trail: All approvals are logged with timestamps so regulators can review the vetting path within minutes.
