Easyjet Continues to Improve Efficiency, Squeeze Costs

Lufthansa Systems today announced that easyJet, Europe’s fourth largest airline, will begin using Lido Operations Center (Lido OC), to plan all of its flight routings from October 2008.

The Lido OC flight planning solution will enable the airline to optimize its flight routings, reduce fuel consumption and deliver significant cost-savings by taking in to account TFR (Traffic Flow Restrictions), highly complex regulations which ensure that air traffic flows smoothly .

The introduction of this new flight planning system is part of easyJet’s efficiency program which also includes accelerated fleet rationalization, improvements to crewing efficiencies, a focus on reducing overheads and follows the airline’s recent unveiling of its new CFM engines.
