Made by crew, for crew.

GroundTime is a meetup app for verified airline crew. We're building the layover companion crew have been organizing through Facebook groups for years — but verified, safe, and actually useful when you land in a city with a 16-hour layover and nobody to grab dinner with.

The idea: open the app, see meetups happening at your hotel city, organize coffee or drinks or whatever sounds good, the chat closes 3 days after so nothing gets weird. Verified through your airline. No outsiders. No matchmaking. No DMs.

Why verified matters

We verify every user is real airline crew through their airline. Not because crew need a gated club — because crew need to know who they're meeting up with on a layover. The verified-crew-only model is the whole point of the product.

Why we don't do DMs

All communication happens inside meetup groups. No private messaging. No 1-on-1 backchannel chat. If two people want to meet up, they create a meetup — even if it's just two of them. We think this is the only honest way to build a meetup app that respects what crew actually want from each other.

Why meetup chats close

Meetup group chats end three days after the meetup itself. We don't want to be another endless Facebook group where conversations turn into drama. If you had a great time and want to meet up again, create another meetup.
