Case Study: Lufthansa Systems achieves real-time flight planning and operational reliability with Actian Ingres

Lufthansa Systems relies on Actian to make thousands of flights run smoothly for millions of passengers worldwide

Lufthansa Systems needed a reliable, real-time data foundation to power its Lido flight and route planning software for airlines around the world. Using Actian Ingres, Lufthansa Systems built a secure, always-available database platform to distribute aviation data seamlessly and keep flight planning information current for mission-critical operations.

Actian implemented the Ingres database as the central repository behind LidoFlight Planning, enabling real-time updates on flight paths, restrictions, airport closures, and turbulence. The result was a stable, cost-effective, 24x7 solution that helps airlines optimize routes, improve operational efficiency, and generate millions of dollars in extra revenue annually.
