ATSG Adopts The Industry Leading IOCC Suite From Lufthansa Systems
Raunheim, October 12, 2022 – Lufthansa Systems and Air Transport Services Group, Inc. (ATSG) today announced that Lufthansa Systems’ industry-leading Integrated Operations Control Center (IOCC) solutions are fully operational at each of ATSG’s individual cargo airlines, Air Transport International (ATI) and ABX Air. The IOCC suite enables each airline to improve operational efficiencies using the proven Lido Flight 4D flight planning system, monitor flight operations with NetLine/Ops ++, manage its crews with NetLine/Crew and manage schedules with NetLine/Sched.
In today’s environment, air service providers are looking for tools that address changing market dynamics and enhance swift adaptability. The IOCC suite from Lufthansa Systems puts ATSG’s airlines in a position to improve efficiencies and boost adaptability throughout their operations. “Safety and reliability have always been the top priority at each of our airlines and operating Lufthansa Systems’ Integrated Operations Control Center (IOCC) solution has enhanced ATI’s and ABX Air’s ability to consistently deliver on those priorities,” said Rich Corrado, president and chief executive officer of ATSG. “In addition, the efficiency gains since implementation are making a meaningful contribution toward our ESG efforts by decreasing fuel burn and related carbon emissions.”
The Lido Flight 4D flight planning solution calculates the most suitable and efficient trajectory for each flight based on all relevant flight data, such as weather conditions, the current airspace situation, fully integrated notice to airmen (NOTAMs) and further restrictions that may apply. The solution offers many integrated and automated functionalities that reduce the workload of flight dispatchers who can focus on what really matters – safe and efficient flight planning.
NetLine/Ops ++ monitors current flight operations. ATSG’s airlines can use this solution to avoid disruptions and significantly lower the costs incurred by delays. Its management-by-exception approach enables operations controllers to focus on critical flights which require a fast reaction.
NetLine/Sched is a high-quality optimization tool for improving the short to medium term flight schedules from an operational and economic perspective. NetLine/Sched helps evaluate “what-if” scenarios and automatically calculates their commercial efficiency.
NetLine/Crew supports ATSG’s airlines across the full crew management process from planning to crew assignment and tracking.
By implementing the recently launched NetLine/Crew Qualification and Training Management module (QTM), ATSG’s airlines provide their crew planners and schedulers with valuable decision-making tools to facilitate the creation and management of legal duty rosters, and the exchange of information between the crew members and crew management.
“We are delighted that a fast-growing US-based airline group selected us as their new provider,” said Genaro Zarazua, CEO Lufthansa Systems Americas, Inc. “We work hand in glove with ATSG’s airlines from implementation to management, ensuring that we are continuously innovating and paving the way for a more digital and smarter future of airline operations.”
