• Indian start-up Alhindair selects charting solutions from Lufthansa Systems
• Alhindair is the first airline in India to implement Lido Route Manual with plans to adopt Lido mPilot in the future
• The charting solutions simplify navigation and provide situational awareness for pilots

Raunheim, 29^th August 2025. Alhindair, a new regional airline based in Kochi, India, is the first carrier in the country to adopt a scalable charting solution from Lufthansa Systems. The start-up airline, which plans to begin operations in October 2025, will initially rely on the paper-based Lido Route Manual to support its pilots before seamlessly scaling up with Lido mPilot, a digital EFB solution. The partnership, a first for charting solutions from Lufthansa Systems in India, paves the way for Alhindair to build its entire flight operations infrastructure on the German-based company’s Lido platform, its suite of flight planning and navigation products.

“Lido Route Manual provides the reliable foundation we need to ensure safe and standardized navigation from day one,” said Reena Rahman, COO/Accountable Manager at Alhindair. “As a start-up carrier preparing for our first flights, having a proven and trusted charting solution in place is essential for building efficient and compliant flight operations from the ground up.”

Alhindair will begin operations using Lido Route Manual, a paper-based charting solution designed to meet the operational needs of commercial aviation. The charts are to scale, aligned with magnetic north, and follow a standardized layout with intuitive color coding to support situational awareness. Key flight procedure elements and terrain information are embedded directly into the chart design, helping pilots maintain orientation at all times. This setup supports regulatory compliance and operational reliability from the very first flight.

Looking ahead, the airline plans to introduce Lido mPilot, the pilot navigation solution from Lufthansa Systems. Designed for use on electronic flight bags (EFBs), the application will provide pilots with instant access to dynamically generated enroute maps, terminal charts, an Airport Moving Map (AMM), weather overlays, and operational documents – all in one streamlined interface. Once introduced, the solution will enable more efficient flight preparation, improved situational awareness, and real-time updates throughout every phase of flight.

“This partnership marks an important milestone for Lufthansa Systems, as it represents the first entry of our charting solutions into the Indian aviation market,” said Ashish Ahuja, Vice President, Sales & Client Management Indian Subcontinent at Lufthansa Systems Asia Pacific. “We are proud to accompany Alhindair on its journey and look forward to providing modern and flexible navigation solutions to more airlines across the region.”

• By partnering with early adopters, Lufthansa Systems gains valuable insights to optimize its solutions
• The solution enhances dispatchers’ situational awareness and reduces their workload through automation
• AEGEAN, the Greek flag carrier, among the first to implement Lido Flight 4D IFS

Raunheim, 18^th March 2025. Lufthansa Systems is improving airline operations with its Lido Flight 4D Integrated Flight Support (IFS), a next-generation solution designed to enhance dispatcher efficiency, improve situational awareness, and streamline flight operations through intelligent automation. AEGEAN, the Greek flag carrier, is among the first early adopters, going live with the system since November 2024, with more to follow.

“Our customers play an important role in developing our solutions. These partnerships allow us to gather valuable insights and help us optimize our cutting-edge solutions,” said Philipp Barzen, Head of Lido at Lufthansa Systems. “As early adopters, the airlines can actively shape Lido Flight 4D IFS. We are confident that the benefits will outweigh the initial effort, paving the way for a more innovative future.”

Lido Flight 4D IFS integrates flight planning and monitoring into a single, intuitive system, allowing airlines to manage flights by exception rather than performing repetitive manual tasks. This approach reduces dispatcher workload while improving operational decision-making. The system provides a clear, list-based overview of flight status, exceptions, and alerts, eliminating the guesswork previously required to identify issues such as rejected flights.

With improved automation and expanded rule setup options, Lido Flight 4D IFS ensures smoother workflows and more precise decision-making. Fixed parameters contribute to consistent performance, while enhanced mapping capabilities provide better geographical insights. The platform’s seamless data integration enables airlines to optimize their operations and react more effectively to dynamic conditions.

“Being among the first to implement Lido Flight 4D IFS is yet another significant step for AEGEAN,” said Nikolaos Vasilakis, Head of Flight Dispatch at AEGEAN. “This innovative solution enhances our operational efficiency and supports our commitment to technological advancement. While the alignment and transition of systems is always a challenge, it provided us with the flexibility to adapt progressively, ensuring a seamless and optimized flight planning experience.“

By leveraging advanced automation, real-time monitoring, and seamless integration, Lido Flight 4D IFS is redefining how airlines manage their flight operations, ensuring greater efficiency, reliability, and situational awareness.
