Corsairfly to operate with Lido/RouteManual

French carrier Corsairfly selected the navigation charts from Lufthansa Systems. Both companies recently signed a 5-year contract to this effect. The airlines’ pilots using the navigation charts will be benefiting from the charts’ clear structure and easy legibility.

“The excellent quality and high user-friendliness of the navigation charts were the main reasons for our decision in favor of Lido/RouteManual. Their clear structure and layout enable our pilots to see all relevant information at a glance,” comments Jean Francois Plaud, Chief Pilot at Corsairfly.

Lufthansa Systems’ navigation charts are generated directly from the Lido navigation database, a unique source for worldwide aeronautical and topographical data. The charts display true-to-scale geographic information such as terrain features and rivers. They also include airport taxiway charts, approach and take-off charts, and a seamless worldwide route chart. The navigation charts’ clear color-coding and self-explanatory symbols support visual thinking.

“We are very pleased that Corsairfly expands our cooperation and relies on our expertise in flight operations. Our portfolio offers a broad range of IT solutions that cover all airline business processes and meet the diverse demands of different airline business models,” says Marco Cesa, Senior Vice President Sales EMEA at Lufthansa Systems.
