Gestair Cargo flies with navigation charts from Lufthansa Systems

The Spanish cargo airline Gestair Cargo will soon use Lido/RouteManual from Lufthansa Systems. With the navigation charts the pilots of Gestair Cargo benefit from the excellent data quality, a clear color coding and the well-structured design of the true-to-scale charts.

“Especially during take-off and landing, the pilots need concise and yet exact information. The navigation charts from Lufthansa Systems convinced us with those attributes. Additionally, they reduce the workload of our pilots because of their clear and easy-to-read design”, says José Ramón Barriocanal, General Manager Aviation Business Unit from Gestair Group.

The charts are generated directly from the Lido navigation database. They include true-to-scale geographic information such as terrain features and rivers. The charts include airport taxiway charts, approach and takeoff charts, and a seamless worldwide route chart. The value of Lido/RouteManual lies in the easy legibility and the clear structure of the individual charts. This reduces the pilots’ workload in the cockpit, especially during key flight situations such as take-off and landing.

“With Gestair Cargo we won a new customer which plays an important role on the Spanish air cargo market. Due to the multitude of possible destinations for charter flights, Gestair Cargo needs access to reliable navigation charts also for less frequented destinations. With Lido/RouteManual Gestair Cargo benefits from our world-wide range of  charts”, explains Marco Cesa, Senior Vice President Sales EMEA from Lufthansa Systems.

Madrid-based Gestair Cargo is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Gestair Group which has activities in private aviation, commercial aviation and aviation training. With a fleet of four cargo aircraft (2 B757-200PCF and 2 B767-300BDSF), Gestair Cargo serves numerous destinations worldwide with scheduled and chartered flights.
