Cathay Pacific switches to the Global Aviation Cloud for mission-critical systems.
The airline is moving its business-critical systems and operations to the Global Aviation Cloud (GAC) in collaboration with Lufthansa Systems and Cathay Pacific.

The safe and expandable infrastructure of the GAC allows dependable operation and smooth product integration for Lufthansa Systems, giving Cathay Pacific a competitive advantage in the ever-changing aviation sector.

The Global Aviation Cloud (GAC) was utilized by Lufthansa Systems to effectively transfer Cathay Pacific’s mission-critical NetLine/Ops++, NetLine/Schedule, and NetLine/Plan systems. A calculated step towards maximizing operational efficiency is the move to the GAC. The safe and expandable infrastructure of the GAC guarantees dependable operation and smooth product integration for Lufthansa Systems, giving the airline a competitive advantage in the ever-changing aviation sector.

The GAC from Lufthansa Systems was created especially to meet aviation security requirements. It provides all services from one source and comes with hosting and the required infrastructure. Cathay Pacific will benefit from a future-proof deployment approach by moving to the GAC, which will let the airline concentrate on its core business and quickly adjust to changing business requirements.

Lawrence Fong, Director of Digital and IT at Cathay Pacific, said, “We are pleased to have these operational and business-critical systems in Lufthansa Systems’ Global Aviation Cloud. Having been working with NetLine/Plan, NetLine/Sched and NetLine/Ops ++ we have experienced Lufthansa Systems as a reliable partner. This new infrastructure set up has enabled us to deliver enhanced value to customers faster and with improved performance.”

Lufthansa Systems’ operation control system is called NetLine/Ops++. The solutions’ capacity to maximize daily flight utilization, boost user productivity, and enhance airline management when there are variations from the regular schedule all benefit Cathay Pacific

David Parrish, Vice President of Sales, Southeast Asia, China, and Indochina at Lufthansa Systems, said, “We would like to thank Cathay Pacific, for their trust placed in our Global Aviation Cloud and their support during the migration project.”NetLine/Ops++ can notify Cathay Pacific of potentially catastrophic situations so they may promptly take action to prevent and resolve interruptions by gathering and analyzing a wide range of data, such as crucial weather conditions or technical aircraft restrictions.

Charlotte Seitel, Sales Director, Hong Kong and Macau, said, “This milestone would not have been achievable without Cathay Pacific’s collaboration and valuable feedback, which continues to drive our pursuit of excellence.”
