easyJet ‘to improve efficiency and squeeze costs’
23.06.08
easyJet, Europe’s fourth largest airline, will begin using Lufthansa Systems Lido Operations Centre (Lido OC), to plan all of its flight routings from October 2008. The Lido OC flight planning solution will enable the airline to optimise its flight routings, reduce fuel consumption and deliver significant cost-savings, a spokesman said.
Cor Vrieswijk, easyJet’s Operations Director, said: ‘The recent surges in oil prices are having a dramatic effect on European aviation. As a result easyJet are taking a range of measures to reduce our costs and improve fuel efficiency.'
'We chose Lido OC because it will help us optimise the routes operated by our modern, economical fleet and create an efficient, dynamic flight planning processes, which will reduce costs. The system is highly automated, which helps our dispatchers work more efficiently and frees up resources for continued growth. Efficient processes and the optimal use of resources are the core of our successful business model.’
The introduction of this new flight planning system is part of easyJet’s efficiency program which also includes accelerated fleet rationalisation, improvements to crewing efficiencies, a focus on reducing overheads and follows the airline’s recent unveiling of its new CFM engines that will reduce NOx and CO2 emissions as well as fuel consumption.
