Air Canada implements Lufthansa Systems' modern IT solutions for network planning
Air Canada has added further modules of Lufthansa Systems' NetLine/Plan solution to calculate its flight plan. The Route Optimizer enables the airline to optimize its flight plan with a particular focus on flight times and connecting flights. For example, the use of this module provides for the determination of a maximum number of connections to any given flight.

In addition, Air Canada has also decided in favor of the NetLine module Flexible Costs, which allows for a more detailed analysis of the cost structures behind a flight plan. With both solutions now implemented, Air Canada can expect to save as much as three million Canadian dollars each year.
