Lufthansa Systems announced that Emirates, one of the world's fastest growing airlines, will continue to use Lido/RouteManual from Lufthansa Systems. The two companies recently extended their agreement for the navigation charts for another five years. Emirates uses the Lido/RouteManual navigation charts as well as the electronic Lido/eRouteManual charts on its flights. The airline also relies on the Lido/Flight, Lido/FMS, Lido/AMDB and myIDTravel solutions.
The paper-based Lido/RouteManual chart solution and its electronic counterpart Lido/eRouteManual provide Emirates with navigation charts for take-off and landing procedures as well as airport and route charts. Generated directly from the Lido navigation database, the charts contain all important route information including altitude and airport data. They display true-to-scale geographic information such as terrain features and rivers. The electronic solution Lido/eRouteManual offers faster and easier updating and makes it possible to plan routes more efficiently.
"We are delighted to be able to continue our long-standing cooperation with Emirates. Having one of the worldĄŻs largest and best-known airlines as a long-term customer is a testament to the high quality of our products," said Peter Ahnert, SVP Regional Management Middle East/Africa at Lufthansa Systems. "With the renewed contract for Lido/RouteManual and the electronic charts, we can support one of the most progressive airlines in the world as it moves towards a paperless cockpit." |
