ACT Airlines flies with navigation charts from Lufthansa Systems

Turkish cargo carrier ACT Airlines has opted for Lido/RouteManual and Lido/eRouteManual from Lufthansa Systems. The two companies recently signed a five-year agreement for using the paper-based and electronic navigation charts.

Lido/RouteManual and Lido/eRouteManual include charts for take-off and landing procedures as well as airport and route charts. These charts are generated directly from the Lido navigation database, which contains worldwide aeronautical information and topographical data. Layout, colors and symbols are identical in the charts’ paper and electronic versions, making it easier for pilots to migrate to Lido/eRouteManual. One benefit of electronic charts is that they can be updated more quickly and easily than paper charts, since updated charts no longer need to be printed out and distributed to each cockpit. Cockpit crews can also determine the level of detail presented by the charts.

ACT Airlines is a Turkish cargo carrier that was founded in 2004 and is based in Istanbul. With its growing fleet, the airline offers international cargo charter flights as well as wet and dry lease services.
