Hong Kong Air Cargo chooses NAVBLUE suite of solutions to improve its operational efficiency

Hong Kong Air Cargo, a subsidiary of Hong Kong Airlines, has signed for a NAVBLUE suite of solutions to enhance its Flight Operations.

Hong Kong Air Cargo will benefit from NAVBLUE’s state-of-the-art solutions, to improve its operational efficiency, through seamlessly integrated digital solutions.

The suite selected by Hong Kong Air Cargo includes five complementary solutions in addition to the already selected N-Ops & Crew (N-OC), a solution designed to handle all aspects of Network Scheduling, Operations Control, Crew Planning, Crew Management, and day-of-ops Crew Scheduling in a single Flight Operations system:

N-Flight Planning, which will help the airline optimise their flight operations by allowing them to rapidly compute flight plans, factoring payload, aircraft performance, current weather and air-traffic constraints. N-Flight Planning will also bring added-value to the airline, minimising flight time, fuel burn or total cost;

N-Tracking, which will empower Hong Kong Air Cargo with operation situational awareness, with aircraft position reports and alerting;

With Navigation+, Hong Kong Air Cargo will benefit from the most relevant aeronautical navigation information including enroute, airport and procedures, both for worldwide and regional coverage;

Mission+ is NAVBLUE’s Electronic Flight Assistant, gathering all the information pilots needs in one single application on a globe-centric display, reducing pilot workload by streamlining the flow of information between ground and onboard systems. This solution integrates mission management data and documentation, cockpit checklist, navigation charts and airport maps, real time weather conditions, aircraft performance data – which are usually only available to pilots via multiple sources;

With Mission+ FLIGHT, the Hong Kong Air Cargo pilots’ journey will be optimized from preparation to closure of a flight, and efficiency will be increased by the reduction of manual entries and therefore risks of errors. In addition, pilots will also be using Mission+ MAPS -the charting module of Mission+ that contains all the NAVBLUE aeronautical data for Enroute, Terminal charts and Supplement information.

Hong Kong Air Cargo will now benefit from all the advantages of a full suite of NAVBLUE products.

Marc Lemeilleur, CEO of NAVBLUE; says: “We are proud to support Hong Kong Air Cargo with our solutions, aimed at enhancing airlines operational efficiency. Thanks to our innovative and integrated solutions, Hong Kong Air Cargo can now benefit from state-of-the-art solutions to help streamline pilots’ workload and increase the airline’s benefits.”

Capt. Yang Yang, Vice President Operations of Hong Kong Air Cargo, adds: “Hong Kong Air Cargo will increase its operational workflow through integration and automation, reducing manual work for our teams. With this NAVBLUE integrated suite of solutions and its reliable aeronautical database, we will enhance our Operational Safety and Efficiency.”
