Singapore (Singapore) - At the Singapore Airshow, Lufthansa Systems unveiled a new flight planning module, which uses a low-power computer cut fuel consumption and time on air travel.

There is a relatively simple idea behind the new addition to the “Lido Operations Center” – the system is designed to monitor current air traffic capacity and adjust the routing of an airplane. According to Lufthansa, the computer - which works as a supplement to the flight plan system - is capable of considering partly restricted air paths, suggesting various bypasses in order to get the most efficient, yet legal and safe routing for the aircraft.
