SunExpress and Lufthansa Systems continue route planning cooperation
SunExpress will optimize its route planning using Lido Operations Center (Lido OC) from Lufthansa Systems for another five years. A contract to this effect was recently signed between the two partners. The airline already uses several IT solutions from Lufthansa Systems for its flight operations, including the navigation charts Lido RouteManual.
Safe and reliable flight operations are the core of any airline's operations. Lido OC from Lufthansa Systems fully meets this requirement. The solution combines safety and flexibility with the ability to lower costs. Lido OC uses a large number of parameters to calculate the optimal route for each and every flight, thereby supporting airlines in minimizing their fuel and operating costs. With its modern technology and user-friendly architecture, Lido OC covers all aspects of flight planning and the associated follow-up processes. Drawing on its own database, Lido OC automatically calculates the ideal route between two airports and creates reliable and easy-to-understand briefing documents for each flight.
SunExpress was founded in October 1989 as a joint venture between Turkish Airlines and Lufthansa, initially serving the Turkish tourism sector with charter flights. The airline operates from its hubs in Antalya, Izmir and Istanbul and carried more than three million passengers in 2007. SunExpress has a fleet of 17 aircraft.
