Fischer Air Polska, Pluna and TUI Airlines Belgium have opted for Lufthansa Systems’ Flight Management System (FMS) navigation database services, joining a worldwide customer base of more than 110 airlines. The FMS database supplies comprehensive navigation data for cockpit systems and contains important route information including altitude information and alternate airports to optimize flight planning. The content, which consists of worldwide aeronautical data, is adjusted monthly to the planned operating area of the aircraft. Lufthansa Systems guarantees that the FMS database is customized to meet the needs of the specific types of aircraft used by an airline.
