New Changi Exhibition Centre
Singapore
February 19-24, 2008
The Airshow took place from February 19-24 at the New Chagi Exhibition Centre in Singapore. Lufthansa Systems showcased a wide range of innovative IT Solutions. For example our navigation charts, which are electronically generated from Lufthansa Systems’ own aviation database. Lido eRouteManual provides pilots with detailed information for the flight, including path, take-off and landing procedures.
Or take another step towards the paperless cockpit with Lido eFlightBag. By integrating cockpit and ground procedures, it bundles pre-flight, in-flight and post-flight processes for the pilots and is independent from computer hardware and aircraft models.
In a drive to further enhance ecological and economical efficiency, Lufthansa Systems presented an innovative way for airlines to further optimize their dispatch processes at this year’s Singapore Airshow.
Lido Operations Center (Lido OC), the world’s leading flight planning solution, offers a module performing automated checks of a potential routing relative to current air traffic capacity and flow management rules. These highly complex rules also known as traffic flow restrictions (TFR) are set by air traffic control authorities to ensure a smooth traffic flow while at the same time optimizing ATC capacity and security.
Airlines are required to check their routing for a particular flight against the latest ATC rules, a task usually performed manually. Automating this process with Lufthansa Systems’ new Lido OC module is an enormous step forward and enables dispatchers to focus on other important tasks. In addition to the time saved during route planning, Lido OC opens up a host of new route options. As an industry first, the module automatically considers even partly restricted airways, suggesting by-passes where legally permitted, for the most effective combination of airway segments.
“Analyses have shown that the TFR module of Lido OC significantly increases efficiency and reduces fuel burn and costs,” explains Marc Szepan, Senior Vice President Airline Operations Solutions at Lufthansa Systems. “From benchmarks we know that the tool can generate savings of up to two percent in fuel burn. This impressive result is a good example of how we help our customers reduce CO2 emissions and save costs.”
