Flight Planning and Dispatch

To ensure the safety of each flight, dispatchers in an airline's flight operations center must analyze a variety of parameters. For every flight an individual flight route has to be calculated and optimized. To do this, dispatchers use current information on air traffic, airspaces, airports and the weather, as well as aircraft performance data.

Our powerful flight planning solution gives dispatchers a wide range of optimization options. For example, different wind speeds and altitudes will affect fuel consumption and flying time. Additionally, depending on the terrain being traversed, there will be various overflight fees which will influence the overall cost of a flight. Lido Operations Center (Lido OC) from Lufthansa Systems can evaluate many of these aspects.

Lufthansa Systems also provides reliable customer support so you can calculate the optimal flight plan every time. We continually update all of our general aeronautical data, as well as the data specific to each customer. Our Help Desk is available to answer technical and functional questions around the clock, and our Operation Service Center offers comprehensive flight planning services.
