Volare S.p.A. optimizes planning and operations control with NetLine from Lufthansa Systems
Volare S.p.A. (Volareweb.com and AirEurope) relies on Lufthansa Systems’ integrated NetLine systems for its operations control and crew management. Following the recent implementation of NetLine/Ops and NetLine/Crew, the Italian airline now expands the successful cooperation with Lufthansa Systems. Both partners have signed a five-year contract for the use of the NetLine/Crew CrewLink module and SkyConnect, Lufthansa Systems’ managed WAN solution.
NetLine/Crew CrewLink is an Internet-based solution that provides a convenient and direct link to the crew members thus taking over the task previously performed by the traditional crew contact unit. Volare S.p.A. already uses the crew management solution NetLine/Crew and optimizes its operations control processes with NetLine/Ops and NetLine/Ops Maintenance Control. The seamless interaction of the different NetLine products ensures a fast exchange of information between all departments involved.
With NetLine@AirSP, the dedicated application service provision for NetLine, Volare S.p.A. uses the shared hosted environment within Lufthansa Systems' data center and thus gains big savings. SkyConnect provides Volare S.p.A. a global multi-provider network to transfer data quickly and securely between the data center and the airline’s headquarters. The multi-provider network is composed of the best available sub-networks of various regions and local providers.
Volare S.p.A. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Alitalia. Volareweb.com is the brand name of Volare S.p.A. dealing with low-cost domestic and international air travel departing from Milan with highly competitive fares. Volareweb offers 20 destinations from Milan Malpensa. AirEurope is the brand name of Volare S.p.A. which handles intercontinental services and charter flights. Over the years, AirEurope has worked closely with leading Italian tour operators. In addition to special flights, AirEurope now offers many line flights on intercontinental routes.
