Air Seychelles opts for Airport Obstacle Database from Lufthansa Systems
Lufthansa Systems and Air Seychelles have signed a contract for the IT provider's proven Lido Airport Obstacle database. Thanks to speedy contract negotiations and a short delivery period, Air Seychelles can immediately benefit from the database. The Lido Airport Obstacle database contains all relevant information required for applications to determine take-off performance data. Every airport data set comes with a customized engine-out procedure, Engine Out Standard Instrument Departures (EOSIDs). These procedures are analyzed for optimum results in terms of payload and safety, taking into account obstacles as well as engine/airframe combinations. Air Seychelles was particularly satisfied with the high quality and excellent service provided by Lufthansa Systems.

The national airline of the Republic of Seychelles has been operating international flights since 1983. The airline today connects Mahé with six European capitals and nine major cities around the Indian Ocean. The flight schedule also includes numerous inter-island flights every day.
