OREANDA-NEWS. AirBridgeCargo Airlines (ABC) has commenced using Lufthansa Systems' Lido/iRouteManual, Lido/Enroute and Lido/DocView IT solutions to simplify cockpit processes and ease the workload of its pilots by providing fast access to continually updated documents and data.

ABC will fully adopt the new cockpit technology by February 2015 and estimates it will also help to reduce the airline's operational costs by some €200,000 a year.

Lido/iRouteManual and its associated apps are optimised for use on the Apple iPad. The navigation solution includes general maps, take-off and landing charts, instrument flight rules (IFR) charts and depictions of airport runways. The crews can download the required charts to their iPads and use them for flight preparation whenever they want, such as in the briefing room, in a hotel or at home. The charts are generated directly from the Lido navigation database and are always up- to-date. With Lido/Enroute, ABC pilots can display the route on interactive charts on their iPad as well.

With the mobile Lido/DocView solution and web-based Lido/DVMS add-on, pilots also have all of the necessary documents and notifications from operations control at their fingertips. The user interface is accessed through an app and can be individually configured by the user.

AirBridgeCargo Airlines is one of the world's fastest-growing air cargo carriers.
