XL Airways France chooses Lufthansa Systems flight operation solutions

LUFTHANSA Systems says XL Airways France has selected its aeronautical IT solutions comprising Lido/Flight, Lido/RouteManual, Lido/eRouteManual and Lido/iRouteManual as well as Lido/ObstacleData.

The Lido/Flight IT solution is intended to optimise the French carrier's flight planning processes. Furthermore, the Lido/RouteManual navigation charts in their electronic (Lido/eRouteManual) and tablet (Lido/iRouteManual) versions as well as the airport data provided by Lido/ObstacleData enable the airline to work with the most up-to-date aeronautical data.

Lido/Flight covers all aspects of flight planning and provides dispatchers with many optimisation options regarding flight time, fuel consumption or costs of each flight. Taking into account the latest flight-related data such as weather conditions, total weight and air traffic situation, Lido/Flight calculates the most suitable route for each flight from all available options. This can lead to fuel savings of up to five per cent.

"We have been a very satisfied user of the FMS navigation data from Lufthansa Systems for several years now," said Mickall Clermont OCC manager at XL Airways France.
