Lufthansa Systems announced that Lynx Air has signed an agreement on the use of Lido FMS and Lido mPilot. With both solutions, the Canadian airline has opted for a reliable and accurate system to achieve maximum operational efficiency, safety, and stability.

Lido FMS is a comprehensive, certified navigation database, containing all relevant aeronautical data with worldwide coverage, including information about airports, airways, waypoints, radio beacons, holding patterns, and approaches. Lido FMS holds EASA Service Provider Certificate Type 1 and is compliant with relevant industry standards such as RTCA DO-200, RTCA DO-201 and ARINC 424.

Lido mPilot’s all-in-one navigation solution provides pilots with all the necessary navigation charts, documents, and messages on their device – anywhere and anytime. The solution is designed to improve the pilot’s situational awareness so that their attention can be focused on safe and efficient aircraft operations.

“We are pleased to partner with Lufthansa Systems, taking to the skies with their leading-edge data and navigation solutions,” said Jim Sullivan, COO, Lynx Air. “Safety is our top priority, and these integrated and reliable solutions will ensure Lynx maintains the highest levels of safety and regulatory compliance.”
