Altéa Departure Control - Flight overview
In only four years, Altéa Departure Control (DC) - Flight Management has become by far the leading flight weight and balance solution, chosen by 55 airlines carrying 425 million passengers. Altéa DC - Flight Management is the only new generation DCS currently available: Qantas implemented the solution in 2007 and Finnair in early 2008.
With a detailed event-based activity plan at the heart of the system, and fully graphical interface, Altéa Departure Control - Flight improves the productivity of your load controllers and enables you to centralise operations in one place across time zones.
Seamless integration with Altéa Departure Control - Customer and Altéa Inventory helps reduce delays caused by late additions to load, aircraft or late passengers.
Altéa Departure Control - Flight analyses the passenger load more precisely and automatically defines the optimal load distribution so that the fuel required for each flight departure is always at the optimum level.
