European Council to deliver at “pace and scale” on European defence readiness 2030 roadmap
Two of the concrete projects outlined in the readiness report, the European Air Shield and Space Shield, will aim to be launched by Q2 2026.
Cimber Sterling chooses Lufthansa Systems IT to optimise flight operations
Cimber Sterling has opted to implement Lufthansa Systems’ navigation charts (Lido/RouteManual) and Lido/TakeOff for take-off performance analysis in a five-year contract signed recently.
"Lufthansa Systems' in-depth process knowhow was among the key factors for our decision in favour of Lido/RouteManual and Lido/TakeOff. We are looking forward to continue our longstanding and successful partnership," said Jacob Krogsgaard, CEO of Cimber Sterling. The airline is already using Lufthansa Systems' Lido/FMS database as well as the revenue management solution ProfitLine/Yield Rembrandt.
Lido/RouteManual charts are generated directly from the Lido navigation database, which contains worldwide aeronautical information as well as comprehensive geographical data. With a clear and easy-to-read design the charts are very user-friendly. This reduces the pilots' workload in the cockpit, especially during key flight situations such as take-off and landing.
Lido/TakeOff calculates the optimal take-off data while taking all relevant factors – such as outside temperature, air pressure, runway length and conditions, and final aircraft take-off weight – into account. These calculations rely on the Lido Airport/Obstacle Data with respective Engine Out procedures (EOSIDs).
"We are proud that Cimber Sterling has decided to expand our co-operation. Our solutions provide Cimber Sterling with a high degree of automation, thus resulting in optimised processes and lower costs for the airline," said Stefan Auerbach, Senior Vice President Sales EMEA at Lufthansa Systems.
