Hong Kong Air Cargo chooses NAVBLUE suite of solutions to improve its operational efficiency

Suite includes N-Flight Planning, N-Tracking, Navigation+ and Mission+ FLIGHT and MAPS

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;
