• Lufthansa Systems combines three decades of experience with forward-looking technology
• From cloud-based operations to AI-driven efficiency – Lufthansa Systems sets new standards in aviation IT
• The future of aviation IT is intelligent, connected, and automated

Raunheim, 7^th August 2025. For 30 years, Lufthansa Systems has been at the forefront of aviation IT, driving digital transformation and enabling airlines to become smarter and more efficient. Founded in 1995 to elevate Lufthansa’s IT operations, the company quickly became a driving force in the digital evolution of the aviation sector. Today, its impressive product portfolio supports many critical airline business processes on the flight deck, in the cabin, and on the ground, serving more than 350 customers worldwide across all sizes and business models.

Lufthansa Systems continues to lead with cutting-edge technologies that address the most pressing challenges in aviation. They meet these requirements by utilizing advanced technologies and developing solutions designed to enhance airline operations’ predictability and efficiency.

The paperless flight deck is now a reality – and without Lufthansa Systems, who introduced digital navigation charts back in 2004, it wouldn’t be. Lido Flight 4D Integrated Flight Support (IFS) continues to optimize routes, enhancing efficiency while contributing to sustainability goals by reducing fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions. As the industry embraces new distribution models, Lufthansa Systems is setting new standards by redefining financial processes. SIRAX/ONE Order allows airlines to seamlessly integrate revenue accounting into an order-focused environment, simplifying financial management and enhancing transparency. The smart operations control assistant NetLine/Ops++ aiOCC uses reinforcement learning to enable real-time disruption management, helping airlines minimize delays and optimize resources. Another recent innovation generates profitable flight schedules from scratch or refines existing ones, allowing the airline to adapt to volatile market conditions and maximize network profitability swiftly.

“For 30 years, Lufthansa Systems has been shaping aviation IT with cutting-edge solutions. From AI-driven operational control to seamless financial processes and optimized flight planning, our technology has helped airlines to navigate a fast-changing industry. The future of aviation IT is intelligent, connected, and automated – and Lufthansa Systems is leading the way,” said Stefanie Neumann, CEO of Lufthansa Systems.

Cloud-based infrastructure and intelligent IT solutions drive the innovation strategy of Lufthansa Systems. By enabling optimized flight planning, digitalized processes, and scalable cloud solutions, airlines reduce their environmental footprint while ensuring operational flexibility. The Global Aviation Cloud offers a highly secure and scalable environment for mission-critical applications, built on partnerships with Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure. This multi-cloud approach enables seamless deployment across diverse airline systems, reducing environmental impact while enhancing operational flexibility.

As sustainability becomes a defining factor in aviation, smart IT solutions play a critical role – from AI-driven route optimization to digitalized workflows and cloud-based efficiencies that reduce hardware dependency.

“We need a holistic approach to aviation technology: The demand for integrated solutions is growing as airlines shift from solving isolated departmental challenges to enhancing cross-functional collaboration. Our iterative, agile approach to development is key to driving innovation and ensuring technology meets real-world needs faster and more effectively,” said Neumann. “AI still has its limitations, but its potential is vast – and the next decade will see it play an even more critical role in shaping the future of aviation. That’s why Lufthansa Systems is investing heavily in cloud-based solutions, AI-driven decision-making, and real-time operational control systems to drive this transformation.”

Geneva, Switzerland, 20^th May 2025 – Web Manuals is today launching Amelia Co-Author, the latest addition to its Amelia suite, designed to support editors responsible for writing and compiling aviation regulatory manuals with fast and more accurate authoring capabilities.

Powered by Generative AI, compliance officers and technical writers can now use Amelia Co-Author to refine document formatting, rephrase content or generate new text. For example, within seconds, it can turn technical jargon into plain, easy-to-understand language, extract information from scanned documents or condense long paragraphs into coherent tables.

Users can ask custom prompts in the language that best suits their needs or choose from a set of predefined commands, all while working in the Web Manuals platform.

Martin Lidgard, CEO, Web Manuals, says: “Amelia Co-Author marks the next step in our pursuit of making aviation documentation smarter and more streamlined. It allows document editors to focus on the quality of their content while speeding up revision workflows and strengthening compliance.

“By eliminating tedious and repetitive authoring tasks, we’re giving teams the tools to edit with total confidence. It’s about simplifying the process while raising the standard of aviation documentation.”

Amelia Co-Author integrates seamlessly with Web Manuals’ Custom Modules, enabling quick access to approved templates. A built-in change view shows a side-by-side comparison of original and edited text for full transparency and compliance assurance. Editors can also review past prompts via a query history, ensuring control over every revision.

The launch comes following the success of Amelia AI Document Search for pilots, crew members and other manual readers, introduced in April 2024.

Lidgard adds: “Combined with our Amelia AI Document Search, aviation organizations can feel assured that all departments are operating safely and efficiently while staying compliant with fast evolving regulations.”

Amelia Co-Author is now available to all operator types worldwide. Web Manuals will be offering live demos of Amelia Co-Author at booth #658 during EBACE25, from May 20-22, 2025.

In January 2024, airBaltic partnered with Beams to leverage artificial intelligence and enhance safety risk management. As one of the first airlines globally to adopt AI in this critical area, airBaltic’s collaboration with Beams marks a significant advancement in how safety data is processed and analyzed within the airline industry.

After integrating Beams AI into its safety risk management processes six months ago, airBaltic’s safety teams have observed a notable improvement in hazard detection accuracy and processing speed. Beams AI detects low-risk reports with over 99% accuracy, saving the team a vast amount of processing time.
