Siberia Airlines signs contract with Lufthansa Systems
The Russian carrier is the most recent customer of Lufthansa Systems' Flight Management System (FMS). The airline has signed a contract for the next three years to use the FMS database for its Airbus A310.
Used successfully by more than 100 airlines worldwide, the FMS database supplies comprehensive navigation data for cockpit systems and contains important route information including altitude data and alternate airports. Data content is adjusted monthly to the planned operating area of the aircraft. Lufthansa Systems guarantees that the FMS database is tailored to the types of aircraft used by its customers.
