- “1Sched@Cloud”, a new contract between Lufthansa Systems and the Lufthansa Group, makes NetLine/Sched the standard in the Lufthansa Group.
- Airlines of the Lufthansa Group migrate to the Global Aviation Cloud (GAC) with the fully integrated cloud solution NetLine/Sched
- Potential of efficient flight operations planning becomes fully available on the corporate level
Raunheim, May 05, 2023. Lufthansa Systems will offer the schedule management solution NetLine/Sched on the basis of its Global Aviation Cloud (GAC) in the future and will thus become the standard within the Lufthansa Group as part of their new contract “1Sched@Cloud”. For the Lufthansa Group, the conversion of the airlines from their own IT structures in the operational area to the cloud-based solution NetLine/Sched is a further step towards an IT harmonisation within the Group.
NetLine/Sched is an optimisation tool from Lufthansa Systems that supports airlines in all aspects of schedule development and schedule management. This enables them to determine the best schedules for flights with optimal aircraft utilisation, taking into account changes in market conditions without neglecting operational aspects.
The migration of Lufthansa Group airlines to the GAC proceeded gradually: The project started already in late May 2022 with the integration of Swiss and Edelweiss. The integration of Lufthansa Airlines, Lufthansa Cargo, Lufthansa CityLine, Air Dolomiti, Eurowings Discover and Brussels Airlines followed in early July 2022. The integration of Austrian Airlines was completed at the beginning of March 2023.
“By standardising aircraft scheduling and migrating to the cloud, the Lufthansa Group can fully utilise the potential of efficient flight operations planning at Group level,” says Dr. Thomas Wittmann, CEO of Lufthansa Systems. “This allows airlines to concentrate on their core business processes – within a modern and stable IT infrastructure with only one central point of contact, Lufthansa Systems.”
“With NetLine/Sched, we are very pleased to support our airlines in making the seamless Group-wide collaboration to develop an optimal and flexible flight schedule profitable,” adds Thomas Rückert, CIO of the Lufthansa Group. “Thanks to NetLine/Sched, profitability and operational requirements can be efficiently linked from long-term planning to the day of operation.”
