NACIL to implement new flight-planning system in six months

Mumbai: A new computerised flight- planning management system is likely to be implemented by the National Aviation Company of India Limited (NACIL) over the next six months to cut down on fuel expense, a senior company official said.
"A new computerised flight-planning management system is expected to be in place over the next six months, which will result in substantial cost-savings," the official told PTI here today.
The company was in the process of signing an agreement with an European vendor to implement the system, the official said, adding "once the new system is in place, we will be saving around USD 15-million annually, compared to the current base line".
The savings would primarily come out of fuel-efficiency as the proposed system would suggest best routes, give weather alerts, besides guiding the airline on fuel uplift, he said.
