• Voluntary EASA evaluation confirms alignment with EU air operations regulation for Lido mPilot 7
• Lido mPilot is the first GPS interference awareness solution within an EFB evaluated by EASA and found compliant
• Airlines benefit from simplified regulatory validation and OPS approval processes when rolling out the EFB solution Lido mPilot 7 across their fleet.

Raunheim, 19^th March 2026. The pilot navigation solution Lido mPilot 7 from Lufthansa Systems has received a Non-Technical Objection Letter (NTOL) by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). The voluntary evaluation confirms that the Electronic Flight Bag solution (EFB) aligns with the applicable EU air operations regulation.

For airlines and aviation authorities, this evaluation provides regulatory clarity in an area where operators remain responsible for obtaining operational (OPS) approval from their competent national aviation authority. By proactively requesting the EASA evaluation, Lufthansa Systems supports airlines in facilitating and accelerating their approval process when introducing or upgrading to Lido mPilot 7 and activating additional modules.

What does the EASA NTOL mean for airlines?

The NTOL reduces regulatory friction and lowers uncertainty during EFB rollout and upgrade projects. In practical terms, the evaluation:

• Confirms alignment with EU air operations rules
• Provides operators with pre-validated compliance material
• Reduces the effort required to demonstrate compliance to national aviation authorities
• Supports faster transitions to paperless cockpit environments

Whenever airlines activate additional modules such as in-flight weather and Airport Moving Map (AMM), or out-of-the-box functionalities such as iPad mirroring on the A350 or GPS interference awareness, they are required to seek OPS approval by their local regulator. Providing the EASA NTOL can streamline authority evaluations and reduce approval effort.

First evaluated GPS interference awareness solution in an EFB

With this step, Lufthansa Systems positions itself as the first provider whose GPS interference awareness solution within an EFB application has been evaluated by EASA and found compliant with the applicable regulatory framework. At a time when GPS interference is increasingly affecting flight operations in certain regions, this evaluation underlines the maturity and robustness of the solution.

Similarly, Lido mPilot enhances usability in A350 cockpits through native iPad display mirroring. Pilots can seamlessly mirror and extend their iPad content directly onto the A350 display units, enabling interaction with Lido mPilot via cockpit peripherals, with the application depicting real‑time position sourced directly from the aircraft’s avionics. This improves operational efficiency and streamlines pilot workflows.

“By voluntarily undergoing the EASA evaluation, we underline our commitment to regulatory transparency and safety in mission-critical cockpit systems. The Non-Technical Objection Letter supports our airline customers in accelerating their OPS approval process while reducing regulatory uncertainty,” said Andreas Medlhammer, Product Owner Lido Charting Applications at Lufthansa Systems.

Lido mPilot as a mission-critical cockpit solution

Designed for airline operations, Lido mPilot enhances pilot situational awareness and streamlines cockpit workflows. The integrated charting application for iOS provides seamless access to terminal charts, a dynamically generated enroute map, an Airport Moving Map (AMM), weather overlays, and operational documents on the iPad. By elevating flight-relevant information based on aircraft position and flight plan, the solution reduces information overload and supports safe and efficient aircraft operations.

The latest version, Lido mPilot 7.1, was published in mid-March and introduces several usability improvements, including a new Liquid Glass user interface for a clearer and more consistent user experience and Grouped Enroute Company Layers to simplify layer management. Further enhancements include Vertical Profile Autofocus, which automatically highlights the relevant upcoming section of the route, supporting pilots in maintaining situational awareness. The release also enables the automatic addition of enroute alternates from ATC flight plans directly into the flight folder. Lido mPilot 7.0 was introduced in 2025 and is already in operational use. The NTOL further strengthens confidence in the current version and future developments within the product line.

OpenAirlines is proud to announce its ISO 27001 certification, covering the full scope of the company: our software and cloud services, all our data – including the protection and processing of our customers’ data- our offices and infrastructure, and our internal processes and governance.

Security has always been part of our DNA. ISO 27001 does not mark the beginning of this journey; it formalizes years of work and investment by our teams.  It confirms that OpenAirlines is a trustworthy, long‑term partner, continuously strengthening its practices and working closely with airlines to raise the bar on digital trust in aviation. 

In a context of rising cyber threats, geopolitical tension, and massive digitalization, this certification is a clear commitment to our airline customers, for today and the long term: your critical flight and sovereign data are protected,  and your OpenAirlines solutions will remain resilient and fully operational, even in the event of a cyberattack. 

You might wonder what that means. In this short article, we’ll explain all the things you need to know about our ISO 27001 certification. Let’s start with the basics:

What is ISO 27001?

ISO 27001 is the leading international standard for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS).
It defines how an organization should manage information security through a systematic approach that includes:

• Identifying and assessing security risks.
• Implementing appropriate technical and organizational controls.
• Defining clear roles, responsibilities, and governance.
• Continuously monitoring, reviewing, and improving security measures.

Unlike a simple “security checklist”, ISO 27001 is a comprehensive management framework that is audited regularly by an independent certification body. It covers people, processes, and technology.

Why ISO 27001 matters for airlines:

For airlines operating amid more serious cyber threats, global instability, and an ever‑more digital ecosystem, Information Security is not just an IT issue. It is directly linked to:

• Operational continuity – Ensuring that digital services and data remain available and reliable to support daily operations.
• Protection of sensitive data – Safeguarding flight, operational, and commercial information against unauthorized access or misuse.
• Regulatory and contractual requirements – Meeting increasing expectations from regulators, partners, and customers on data protection and security.
• Trust in digital transformation – Supporting the adoption of advanced analytics, cloud solutions, and AI with a solid security foundation.

This certification translates into an internationally recognized level of assurance for airlines that rely on our solutions to support their operational performance.  Concretely, this recognizes that:

We systematically identify and manage information security risks
We maintain a formal risk management framework to identify, assess, and treat threats to our systems, data, and operations. Risks are regularly reviewed, documented, and mitigated through appropriate technical, organizational, and contractual controls.

We apply strict access control and segregation of duties
Access to systems and data is granted on a “need-to-know” and “least privilege” basis. Role-based permissions, approval workflows, and segregation of duties reduce the risk of unauthorized access, data misuse, or configuration errors.

We follow formal processes for incident response, business continuity, and change management
Security incidents are handled through documented procedures, from detection and containment to root-cause analysis and corrective actions. Business continuity and disaster recovery plans help us maintain service in the event of a major disruption, and structured change management processes ensure that updates to our systems are tested, reviewed, and controlled.

Our practices are regularly audited and continuously improved
Independent audits verify that our controls are effectively designed and implemented. Findings are tracked and addressed, and we use audit feedback, internal reviews, and customer requirements to continuously improve our security posture.

Real-Time Jamming and Spoofing Awareness

GPS Clarity When You Need It Most

GPS jamming and spoofing have become a growing operational risk across global flight operations, affecting navigation integrity, automation reliability, and crew workload. Without advance warning, crews encountering interference face cascading challenges: degraded automation, increased workload during critical phases, and the need to rapidly implement conventional navigation procedures.

SkyPath’s GPS Interference Layer, developed by skAI Data Services, transforms disruption into deliberate preparation, providing real-time awareness of jamming and spoofing zones before your aircraft enters affected airspace.

The Power of Real-Time GPS Interference Detection

Powered by SkAI Data Services’ real-time ADS-B data analysis, SkyPath’s GPS Interference Layer delivers continuously updated interference mapping that detects GPS spoofing and jamming across global flight operations, indicating the anticipated risk level for crews and dispatchers.

SkyPath sources interference data from SkAI Data Services, which tracks aircraft reports, ADS-B anomalies, and signal analysis to create a dynamic global interference map. The data updates continuously as the global fleet encounters and reports new interference, ensuring crews always have the latest intelligence for their route. The result? Crews gain immediate visibility into where navigation systems may be compromised, giving crews the foresight needed to maintain safety and operational control.

Seamless Integration into SkyPath’s Interface

The GPS Interference Layer appears seamlessly in SkyPath’s interface with intuitive color-coding for severity levels. Crews and dispatchers can access real-time jamming and spoofing zone data directly within the platform, ensuring actionable intelligence is always within reach.

Click any zone for greater situational awareness. For jamming, the system displays severity from low to high. For spoofing, it provides specific data including last valid position, altitude, and the spoofed position. This layered approach ensures that GPS interference information is presented in a clear, intuitive manner, supporting better decision-making throughout the operational cycle.

Enhanced Operational Benefits of the GPS Interference Layer

• Real-Time Interference Display Crews receive an instant display of active jamming and spoofing zones, with severity indicators ranging from minor degradation to complete signal loss. This real-time awareness ensures crews are never caught off guard by unexpected GPS interference.
• Proactive Planning and Preparation Seeing interference zones ahead, crews can brief backup procedures, and verify conventional navigation aids. Dispatchers can plan alternates and adjust fuel loads for non-GPS approaches, turning interference from an unexpected challenge into a briefed, managed scenario.

A New Standard for GPS Interference Awareness

By providing skAI’s real-time visibility into GPS interference zones, SkyPath enables operators to transform GPS interference from an unexpected operational challenge into a managed, controlled risk – enhancing safety while maintaining efficiency.

OpenAirlines Acquires CEFA to Create Unified AI- Powered Flight Operations Platform

Toulouse, France — March 5, 2026 — OpenAirlines, a global leader in fuel efficiency software, today announced the acquisition of CEFA Aviation, a global leader in 3D flight data animation for pilot debriefing and safety analysis.

The deal marks a strategic move to consolidate fragmented Flight Operations tools into a unified, AI-powered platform designed to improve airline efficiency and sustainability, while keeping safety at the core.

By combining OpenAirlines’ SkyBreathe® platform — which leverages artificial intelligence to optimize fuel use and reduce CO₂ emissions — with CEFA’s high-fidelity flight animation technology, the company is positioning itself to redefine how airlines turn flight data into operational performance.

From fragmented tools to a unified flight ops platform

Airlines generate massive amounts of flight data, yet much of it remains siloed across departments, limiting its impact on safety, pilot training, fuel efficiency, and operational decision-making. OpenAirlines sees this acquisition of CEFA Aviation as the first step toward solving that fragmentation.

CEFA is the only solution currently able to reconstruct flights in immersive cockpit-like 3D animations within minutes after landing, enabling pilots and safety teams to visually analyze flight events, while OpenAirlines’ flagship product SkyBreathe® converts the same data through AI into actionable recommendations that help reduce fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions.

Together, the combined platform aims to create a continuous performance loop — enabling airlines to connect safety insights, pilot training, and fuel efficiency within a single data environment.
The long-term ambition: build a unified Flight Ops software suite through organic development and targeted acquisitions, while preserving the specialized expertise of each solution.

Reinventing the pilot experience 

Pilots increasingly expect tools that are intuitive, operationally relevant, and accessible on demand.
The new group will build on two market-proven solutions already used by a combined total of 90,000 pilots:

• CEFA AMS, a unique EFB application that allows pilots to replay their flights on a tablet just minutes after landing using high-fidelity cockpit reconstructions — turning every flight into a learning opportunity.
• SkyBreathe® MyFuelCoach, a digital briefing and debriefing solution providing pilots with environmental performance data and personalized fuel-saving recommendations.

By integrating these capabilities, OpenAirlines and CEFA aim to unify the experience with a data-driven, pilot-centric ecosystem designed to enhance safety, operational efficiency, and environmental performance simultaneously.

The strategy is backed by long-standing industry stakeholders, including the French Professional Aircrew Pension Fund (CRPN), reflecting strong alignment with the group’s vision.

Scaling a leading global flight operations technology company

The acquisition brings together two established players with complementary expertise and closely aligned cultures centered on innovation, agility, and customer focus.

The combined entity represents approximately $19 million in recurring revenue and a team of 140 employees. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed. Integration will be phased, with an immediate focus on accelerating high-impact product innovation, particularly around pilot engagement and post-flight analytics. 

“Airlines must reconcile safety, operational performance, and decarbonization. By combining CEFA’s high-fidelity flight visualization with SkyBreathe’s AI-powered analytics that turn flight data into actionable recommendations, we are building a unified Flight Ops platform designed to drive continuous operational excellence,” said Alexandre Feray, CEO of OpenAirlines. 

“Flight Operations is evolving from standalone tools to integrated, data-driven ecosystems. Joining OpenAirlines allows us to extend CEFA’s pilot-centric technology into a broader platform that connects safety, performance, and sustainability,” said Dominique Minéo, CEO of CEFA Aviation.
