Raunheim, September 17, 2020 – Lufthansa Systems and Air Transport Services Group, Inc. (ATSG) today announced an agreement to implement Lufthansa Systems’ industry-leading Integrated Operations Control Center (IOCC) solutions at each of ATSG’s individual cargo airlines, Air Transport International and ABX Air. The recently signed contract enables each airline to swiftly migrate to the proven Lido Flight 4D flight planning system, monitor flight operations with NetLine/Ops ++ and manage its crews with NetLine/Crew. 

In today’s environment, air service providers are looking for tools that address changing market dynamics and enhance swift adaptability. The IOCC suite from Lufthansa Systems will put ATSG’s airlines in a position to improve efficiencies and boost adaptability throughout their operations. “Safety is our top priority and the solutions from Lufthansa Systems allow our flight operations teams to fully focus on safety and efficiency with each flight,” said Rich Corrado, chief executive officer of ATSG. “Also, the efficiency achieved with this system improves the overall sustainability of our airline operations.” 

The Lido Flight 4D flight planning solution calculates the most suitable and efficient trajectory for each flight based on all relevant flight data, such as weather conditions, the current airspace situation, fully integrated notice to airmen (NOTAMs) and further restrictions that may apply. The solution offers many integrated and automated functionalities that reduce the workload of flight dispatchers who can focus on what really matters – safe and efficient flight planning. NetLine/Ops ++ monitors current flight operations. ATSG’s airlines can use this solution to avoid disruptions and significantly lower the costs incurred by delays. Its management-by-exception approach enables operations controllers to focus on critical flights which require a fast reaction. NetLine/Crew supports ATSG across the full crew management process from planning to crew assignment and tracking.
 

“We are particularly proud that a fast-growing US-based passenger and cargo carrier airline group selected us as their new provider and are delighted to welcome ATSG as our new customer,” said Norbert Mueller, Senior Vice President, Regional Management Americas. “By implementing the three solutions, ATSG’s airlines will boost its responsiveness in what is an environment dominated by constantly changing customer demands and optimize its growing operational complexity.”
