Enhanced version of Netline/Load from Lufthansa Systems

Airlines will benefit from the more flexible operation and new features of the solution. The system also enables airlines to reduce their fuel consumption and it optimizes an aircraft’s centre of gravity.

With NetLine/Load, airlines can save time and costs by optimising the loading process. In addition, training periods for new staff can be reduced through the simplified and clear user guidance of the new release. Calculations are also more precise with NetLine/Load since load planners can determine the optimal center of gravity in advance and aim for that target throughout the load planning process. With NetLine/Load, airlines can cut their fuel consumption by up to 0.5% or generate additional revenue potential by maximizing available payload.

“Every day our customers calculate more than 3,500 load sheets by using NetLine/Load. The new version will expand the solution’s leading market position and enable airlines to generate additional revenue through optimized load planning,” explains Dr. Anselm Eggert, Senior Vice President Passenger Airline Solutions at Lufthansa Systems. NetLine/Load is used by airlines around the world – customers are Lufthansa, Air Canada and Virgin Blue as well as cargo carriers Air China Cargo and Purolator Courier.

NetLine/Load is part of the Integrated Operations Control Center (IOCC) Platform from Lufthansa Systems. The IOCC Platform is the first integrated IT platform able to control and monitor all aspects of airline operations which are closely interlinked in practice, including schedule management, operations control, crew management, flight planning and weight & balance. Because of the synergies it generates the IOCC offers airlines much greater economic benefits than standalone systems.
