Lufthansa Systems is improving airline operations with its Lido Flight 4D Integrated Flight Support (IFS), a next-generation solution designed to enhance dispatcher efficiency, improve situational awareness, and streamline flight operations through intelligent automation. AEGEAN, the Greek flag carrier, is among the first early adopters, going live with the system since November 2024, with more to follow.
“Our customers play an important role in developing our solutions. These partnerships allow us to gather valuable insights and help us optimize our cutting-edge solutions,” said Philipp Barzen, Head of Lido at Lufthansa Systems. “As early adopters, the airlines can actively shape Lido Flight 4D IFS. We are confident that the benefits will outweigh the initial effort, paving the way for a more innovative future.”
Lido Flight 4D IFS integrates flight planning and monitoring into a single, intuitive system, allowing airlines to manage flights by exception rather than performing repetitive manual tasks. This approach reduces dispatcher workload while improving operational decision-making. The system provides a clear, list-based overview of flight status, exceptions, and alerts, eliminating the guesswork previously required to identify issues such as rejected flights.
With improved automation and expanded rule setup options, Lido Flight 4D IFS ensures smoother workflows and more precise decision-making. Fixed parameters contribute to consistent performance, while enhanced mapping capabilities provide better geographical insights. The platform’s seamless data integration enables airlines to optimize their operations and react more effectively to dynamic conditions.
“Being among the first to implement Lido Flight 4D IFS is yet another significant step for AEGEAN,” said Nikolaos Vasilakis, Head of Flight Dispatch at AEGEAN. “This innovative solution enhances our operational efficiency and supports our commitment to technological advancement. While the alignment and transition of systems is always a challenge, it provided us with the flexibility to adapt progressively, ensuring a seamless and optimized flight planning experience.“
By leveraging advanced automation, real-time monitoring, and seamless integration, Lido Flight 4D IFS is redefining how airlines manage their flight operations, ensuring greater efficiency, reliability, and situational awareness.
