Paris, 17th June 2025. Cebu Pacific, the Philippines’ leading carrier, signed an agreement with Lufthansa Systems at the Paris Air Show to implement their next-generation operations control and crew management solution – a key step in supporting the airlines ambitious growth plans.

The NetLine suite from Lufthansa Systems was chosen for its advanced capabilities in flight operations, crew planning, rostering, and real-time disruption management. The operations control system collects and evaluates a wide range of data, such as weather conditions, airspace constraints and aircraft performance, alerting the operations control team to situations with potential operational, crew, or customer impact, enabling proactive measures to mitigate and resolve disruptions.

The crew management solution, supported by the aviation technology firm ROIS/Pi, leverages machine learning and high-speed optimization to shorten rostering cycles, deliver robust resource planning, and support a more balanced and predictable crew experience.

Together, Cebu Pacific stands to benefit from reduced operational costs and enhanced customer satisfaction through faster, data-driven decision-making. The solutions will optimize roster planning, streamline trip trading, improved aircraft assignment, and strengthen regulatory compliance – supporting a more efficient operation and providing a solid platform for Cebu Pacific’s continued growth beyond the base of nearly 100 aircraft today.

This partnership is central to enabling the scaling of our operations. We’re investing in the internal infrastructure with world-class systems that will enhance safety, operational resilience, efficiency and crew wellbeing as we grow our fleet and expand our network across the region. This is all about preparing Cebu Pacific to capture the outstanding opportunity that presents itself both in the Philippines and across the broader Asian market,” said Mike Szücs, Chief Executive Officer of Cebu Pacific.

“We are proud to support Cebu Pacific’s ambitious vision. Together, we’re building a scalable, future-ready operations platform,” said Stefanie Neumann, Chief Executive Officer of Lufthansa Systems.

The implementation will begin this year, laying the foundation for a world-class, fully integrated operations platform that empowers Cebu Pacific to scale with confidence from fleet and resource planning and pre-operations, through to the live day-of-operations management.

  • The solution provides real-time spoofing data for pilots and situational awareness tools
  • This partnership helps airlines proactively respond to one of the most pressing navigation challenges: GPS spoofing

Raunheim, 8th April 2025. Lufthansa Systems collaborates with SkAI Data Services to increase flight safety by detecting and mitigating real-time GPS spoofing. The integration of the GPSwise detection solution from SkAI Data Services into the navigation solutions Lido mPilot and Lido eRoute Manual adds a new layer of protection to both airborne and ground operations. This enables pilots and airline operations teams to respond quickly and effectively to spoofing threats, ensuring greater efficiency and supporting safe, reliable flight operations.

Unlike GPS jamming, which disrupts satellite signals and causes receivers to fail temporarily, GPS spoofing actively feeds false position, altitude, and timing data into aircraft navigation systems. This can result in:

  • False Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System (EGPWS) alerts
  • Flight Management System (FMS) position degradation
  • Restricted Required Navigation Performance (RNP) capabilities
  • Incorrect ADS-B data transmissions

These risks can lead to operational disruptions, flight delays, unnecessary rerouting, increased pilot workload, and even emergency diversions.

“Our detection solution improves situational awareness both in the cockpit and on the ground, enabling faster and more accurate responses to GPS spoofing. Airlines benefit from access to the most up-to-date information, reducing dependance on pilot reports or outdated data. By focusing only on precisely affected areas rather than entire airspaces, operational efficiency is significantly improved,” said Benoit Figuet, Co-Founder SkAI Data Services.

In cooperation with the Zurich University of Applied Sciences – Centre for Aviation, SkAI Data Services developed a solution that uses real-time ADS-B data analysis to detect GPS spoofing and jamming activity. The service will be available in the Lido charting applications Lido mPilot for iOS and Lido eRoute Manual for Windows. These airborne applications provide pilots with real-time GPS spoofing information and support in-flight mitigation strategies. In addition to cockpit integration, airline operations teams are supported with access to the GPSwise web application, which highlights spoofing trends and affected aircraft. Furthermore, SkAI Data Services generates daily email reports, highlighting spoofed aircraft within the fleet and supporting proactive maintenance and mitigation efforts.

“This partnership reinforces the commitment of Lufthansa Systems to aviation safety and operational resilience. By equipping airlines with precise GPS spoofing detection and mitigation tools, we aim to minimize disruptions, improve navigational accuracy, and enhance overall flight safety,” said Andreas Medlhammer, Product Owner Lido Charting Applications at Lufthansa Systems.

Through integrating the detection service from SkAI Data Services, Lufthansa Systems expands the value of its Lido solutions and supports airlines in proactively responding to one of the most complex threats to navigation in today’s airspace environment.
