Mar 04, 2009 (newstodate): The Danish carrier Sterling Air has signed a five-year contract for the use of Lufthansa Systems' Flight Management System, FMS, database.
The FMS database contains all important route information including altitude and airport data for optimizing routes and supporting autopilots on board modern aircraft.
The FMS database also contains important data to optimise engine power levels, ultimately resulting in fuel savings.
Sterling Air evolved from the acquisition of Sterling Airlines by Cimber Air, and resumed operation in January 2009.
Recently, Sterling Air put two Boeing 737 aircraft into service for medium-haul flights within Europe and plans to be operating a fleet comprising six Boeing 737 by the end of 2009.
