MAS signs second deal with Lufthansa Systems
Malaysia Airlines will use Lufthansa Systems’ comprehensive navigation data for its new fleet of Boeing B737-800 aircraft. The carrier recently signed an agreement for the use of flight management system (FMS) data from the Lido/FMS navigation database. The contract follows a five-year agreement signed earlier this year for the implementation of the Lido/RouteManual navigation charts.
The FMS database contains all important route information including altitude and airport data for optimizing routes and supporting autopilots on board modern aircraft. The navigation data, based on global aeronautical information, is updated every 28 days and can be customized to specific routes and for use in any type of aircraft.
