Amadeus Airline IT Altéa Departure Control – Flight Management Airlines
Altéa Departure Control – Flight Management enables you to boost productivity, optimise fuel requirements and ensure a safe and efficient flight departure every time. In today’s fast-evolving industry, optimal flight management is increasingly complex – and ever more critical to productivity and profitability, as well as passenger satisfaction. Seamless integration of your systems will deliver improved performance all round.
New generation load control platform Altéa Departure Control – Flight Management is a new generation load control platform specifically designed to enable you to ensure efficient flight departures and optimise the weight and balance process. Built around a detailed automated activity plan and with a fully graphical interface, Altéa Departure Control – Flight Management improves the productivity of your load controllers and enables you to centralise operations across time zones. Its cutting edge technology forecasts and analyses the passenger and cargo load more precisely and automatically defines an optimal load distribution, thereby optimising fuel requirements and increasing uplift capacity. Unlike other systems built on technology dating from the 1970s, Altéa Departure Control – Flight Management is based on advanced technology, with integrated features designed to satisfy the latest business requirements and concepts, including all airlines’ ground handling activities.
With Altéa Departure Control – Flight Management, you can: > Increase productivity; > Reduce costs; > Increase revenue; > Improve reliability.
Advanced, fully integrated technology The days of juggling with decentralised operations and numerous manual processes are over. Seamless integration of your systems using advanced, yet intuitive, technology is the way forward, delivering numerous business benefits. Altéa Departure Control – Flight Management is available to all airlines using Altéa Inventory and is fully integrated with other Altéa solutions. However, airlines also using Altéa Departure Control – Customer Management will benefit from more integrated data flows (seat maps, passenger load, etc). The seamless integration with Altéa Departure Control – Customer Management and Altéa Inventory, for example, helps reduce delays caused by late changes of schedules and passenger loads.
Altéa Departure Control – Flight Management has proven to be a stable and user-friendly system. Altéa Departure Control – Flight Management enabled Finnair to implement Centralised Load Control process, where flights are managed in two Load Control Centers (located in Bangkok and Prague). This new process has clearly improved productivity. It improved fuel savings thanks to more precise estimated zero fuel weight calculations.
