Air Luxor opts for Lufthansa Systems' CusLink
Lufthansa Systems' CusLink solution is a fast, easy way to achieve U.S. Customs AMS compliance and derive other important operational benefits. Using ASP-based CusLink, Air Luxor, a charter and scheduled airline based in Portugal, can expect to significantly reduce costs while improving data quality via timely electronic filings to U.S. Customs. The Portuguese airline can derive these benefits without having to purchase expensive hardware and software.

CusLink enables carriers to file and amend air waybills, communicate flight departures and store and view shipment details electronically. The efficiency and high data quality derived helps facilitate faster clearance. Additionally, Air Luxor can access cargo shipment status notifications at the "wheels up" stage, concurrent with U.S. Customs notification of a flight's departure from the last foreign port. This, in turn, helps carriers expedite shipment pick-ups and deliveries as well as intercept potential aircraft holds before they pose a clearance problem.
