• Lido navigation data and charts from Lufthansa Systems form the basis for the navigation for the new Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024
• Aviation enthusiasts gain access to Lido data and charts that commercial airlines use
• With Lido data embedded, Microsoft further pushes the boundaries of realism in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024

Raunheim, 5th November 2024. Lufthansa Systems collaborates with Microsoft and makes Lido Sky Data and Lido Route Manual available not only to professional pilots and pilots in training but also to more than 15 million aviation enthusiasts worldwide who enjoy using Microsoft Flight Simulator.

As the new version of Microsoft Flight Simulator launches, it becomes even more realistic, giving the virtual pilot an incomparable feeling of flying. Lufthansa Systems plays an essential role in this, as its data now forms the basis of the simulation’s heart: the navigation. Microsoft Flight Simulator opted for Lufthansa Systems because of its high-quality data, exceptional charting standards, professional experience, and position in the market.

“Microsoft Flight Simulator is not only a globally beloved game by aviation enthusiasts but stands for the most realistic flight simulations for private use for decades. I, myself, am also an enthusiastic Microsoft Flight Simulator user, and I am delighted that other aviation enthusiasts can now experience this realistic simulation with our professional data,” said Philipp Barzen, Head of Lido at Lufthansa Systems.

The new version of the simulator will raise the standard of their data and charts to a higher level: Lido Sky Data offers navigational data in line with ARINC 424 for various systems and applications including standardized navigation information such as airports, waypoints, navaids, airways, and terminal area procedures. The data provided by Lufthansa Systems has been widely used in the aviation industry for more than 20 years.

The Lido Route Manual charts used in Microsoft Flight Simulator provide access to charts usually used by commercial airlines. The charts intuitively display aeronautical procedures like SID, STAR, and approach procedures.

“With the Lido data and charts from Lufthansa Systems, we can offer our customers a more realistic and precise experience. This new data will add a higher coverage of regions and new airports to explore. As Microsoft Flight Simulator becomes even more professional, it is a great opportunity for the players to develop their skills and safely navigate extreme flight situations, pushing the limits of aircraft and their own abilities,” said Jorg Neumann, Head of Microsoft Flight Simulator.

New features of Microsoft Flight Simulator include visually enhanced airports and complemented locations such as glider airfields, oil rigs, and lighthouses. For the first time, the flight crew will be able to leave the aircraft to explore its surroundings, expanding the flight simulation into a life simulation. Additionally, new missions will be included, such as fighting forest fires, search and rescue missions, and freight transports with giant aircraft or air races. The new features will include a virtual electronic flight bag (EFB), which will mimic the EFB, that provides pilots with all the information they need for a safe flight – including the Lido charts.

Toulouse, France, 12 September 2024 – Hong Kong Air Cargo, a subsidiary of Hong Kong Airlines, has signed for a NAVBLUE suite of solutions to enhance its Flight Operations.

Hong Kong Air Cargo will benefit from NAVBLUE’s state-of-the-art solutions, to improve its operational efficiency, through seamlessly integrated digital solutions.

The suite selected by Hong Kong Air Cargo includes five complementary solutions in addition to the already selected N-Ops & Crew (N-OC), a solution designed to handle all aspects of Network Scheduling, Operations Control, Crew Planning, Crew Management, and day-of-ops Crew Scheduling in a single Flight Operations system:

N-Flight Planning, which will help the airline optimise their flight operations by allowing them to rapidly compute flight plans, factoring payload, aircraft performance, current weather and air-traffic constraints. N-Flight Planning will also bring added-value to the airline, minimising flight time, fuel burn or total cost;

N-Tracking, which will empower Hong Kong Air Cargo with operation situational awareness, with aircraft position reports and alerting;

With Navigation+, Hong Kong Air Cargo will benefit from the most relevant aeronautical navigation information including enroute, airport and procedures, both for worldwide and regional coverage;

This solution integrates mission management data and documentation, cockpit checklist, navigation charts and airport maps, real time weather conditions, aircraft performance data – which are usually only available to pilots via multiple sources;

With Mission+ FLIGHT, the Hong Kong Air Cargo pilots’ journey will be optimized from preparation to closure of a flight, and efficiency will be increased by the reduction of manual entries and therefore risks of errors. In addition, pilots will also be using Mission+ MAPS -the charting module of Mission+ that contains all the NAVBLUE aeronautical data for Enroute, Terminal charts and Supplement information.

Hong Kong Air Cargo will now benefit from all the advantages of a full suite of NAVBLUE products.

Marc Lemeilleur, CEO of NAVBLUE; says: “We are proud to support Hong Kong Air Cargo with our solutions, aimed at enhancing airlines operational efficiency.

We are thrilled to announce that TUI, one of the world’s leading tourism groups, has renewed its longstanding contract with Evoke Systems Limited. This renewal marks a significant milestone in our partnership, as we celebrate working together for over 10 years, and demonstrates the trust and confidence TUI places in Evoke’s innovative solutions.

At the heart of this collaboration is EFOS Leave, Evoke’s automated leave bidding and management system which goes beyond the limitations of the standard functionality typically found in other products. Originally designed to address the unique challenges faced by airlines in handling numerous complex leave booking rules across a dispersed workforce whilst also eliminating the heavy administration associated with outdated manual methods such as paper forms and spreadsheets. The advanced automation capabilities allow airlines, including TUI, to fully process thousands of leave requests within minutes.

One of the standout features of EFOS Leave is its ability to provide crew members with increased visibility and control over leave bidding, making the entire process more democratic. The user-friendly platform enables them to effortlessly request, amend, and cancel their leave through a single interface, resulting in rapid responses and greatly improved morale. This streamlined approach has eliminated the frustration often associated with manual leave management methods and empowered crew members to plan their time off with ease.

Melissa Mitchell, COO, Evoke Systems Limited said:

“We’re proud to continue our long-standing partnership with TUI. It’s been an incredible journey working together for over a decade, and we’re proud that TUI trusts our EFOS Leave system to make leave management easier and more transparent for their crew.
