Lufthansa Systems’ an information technology service provider for the aviation industry announced that the International Air Transport Association (IATA) has opted to include the company’s Lido Sky Data in the Global Aviation Data Management (GADM) platform. The IATA will also include the Flight Data eXchange and Incident Data eXchange safety databases. The data will form a core reference dataset for IATA’s aggregated data sharing programs, which are geared towards safety and operational benefits.
The Lido Sky Data is equipped with worldwide standardized navigation information for over 35,000 aerodromes worldwide, including airports, heliports, runways, waypoints, navaids, airways and flight procedures. The data is updated according to the Aeronautical Information Regulation and Control (AIRAC) cycle and is in line with Aeronautical Radio, Incorporated (ARINC) 424 and various other industry standards, such as the Radio Technical Commission for Aeronautics (RTCA) DO-200 and DO-201.
“We are excited to have chosen the Lido Sky Data Solution from Lufthansa Systems”, said Olena Vasylchenko, IATA’s Operations, Safety and Security Director Business Systems and Performance. “This selection is based on the depth and granularity of the aeronautical information that is available through the Lido solution. These data will form a core reference dataset for our aggregated data sharing programs, which are industry driven and geared towards safety and operational benefits of our members,” she further added.
