Bulgaria Air to fly with navigation charts from Lufthansa Systems
Bulgaria Air will use Lido/RouteManual, the navigation charts from Lufthansa Systems, for its Airbus and Boeing fleet. The two companies recently signed a five-year-contract to this effect which also includes an option to migrate to the electronic version of the charts (Lido/eRouteManual). The layout, colors and symbols are identical in the paper-based and the electronic version, which will make it easier for Bulgaria Air’s pilots to switch to Lido/eRouteManual.
With the innovative solution the airline can optimize its flight operations and benefit from the high quality of the Lufthansa Systems navigation charts. The charts are generated directly from the Lido navigation database. They include true-to-scale geographic information such as terrain features and rivers. The charts include airport taxiway charts, approach and takeoff charts, and a seamless worldwide route chart. The value of Lido/RouteManual lies in the easy legibility and the clear structure of the individual charts. This reduces the pilots' workload in the cockpit, especially during key flight situations such as take-off and landing.
Bulgaria Air is the national flag carrier of the Republic of Bulgaria. The airline offers flights to various cities in Europe, The Middle East and North Africa, as well as charter and business flights upon request to more than 124 other destinations. Bulgaria Air enjoys a high level of on-time performance and reliable connections with partner carriers to over 780 destinations worldwide. It has a new aircraft fleet and a flexible fare system.
