Nouvelair reduces fuel costs with Lido/Flight from Lufthansa Systems
The Tunisian private airline Nouvelair will optimize its flight planning with Lido/Flight from Lufthansa Systems. A ten-year contract to this effect was signed recently between the two companies. Nouvelair and its subsidiary, Koral Blue Egypt has thus joined a growing circle of Lido/Flight users worldwide. Lido/Flight calculates optimal flight routes based on a number of different factors and can reduce overflight charges, fuel and time related costs.
Lido/Flight covers all aspects of flight planning and the follow-up processes associated with it. Drawing on its own database, the solution automatically calculates the ideal route between two airports and creates reliable and easy-to-understand briefing documents for each flight. During the migration phase, Nouvelair will receive complete briefing documents via Lido Flight Planning Services (Lido/FPLS) from Lufthansa Systems, which will ease the transition to Lido/Flight. Since Nouvelair plans to offer scheduled services in addition to charter flights in a near future, the airline has placed high demands on its new flight planning system.
Nouvelair is already using the Lido/RouteManual navigation charts and Lido/FMS data from Lufthansa Systems. Based in Monastir, Tunisia, the charter carrier serves more than 120 destinations in 33 countries in Europe. With its fleet of 15 aircraft, Nouvelair carried more than 1.9 million passengers in 2009.
