Bingo Airways first partnered with Navtech earlier in 2012 by subscribing to Navtech’s  Navigation Data service.  The airline was founded in November 2011 by a group of Polish aviation professionals headed by Mr. Marek Sidor, former VP of LOT Polish Airlines and     former CEO of Eurolot and they started flying in May 2012.   “We are extremely happy with a decision to use Navtech’s flight planning system as well as their navigation charts,” said CEO, Mr. Sidor. “Navtech, as a world leading aviation Support Company, provides us with very reliable systems and materials at an optimal cost.”

Navtech Charts leverages Navtech’s experience, research, and Human Factors analysis work. The charts are designed using research from Human Factor specialists and by gathering data from, and working continuously with a number of pilots with years of experience using aeronautical charts.

Navtech offers aerodrome and enroute charts in our modern specification. Aerodrome charts include a briefing card, instrument approach, landing and ground charts, as well as standard arrival routes.  Bingo’s chosen aerodromes can be presented to them alphabetically by country, city, or by aerodrome name. Navtech’s enroute navigation is compiled from official documents and topographical reference charts along with digital terrain models.

Navtech Flight Plan (NFP) provides complete control over managing mission critical resources.  An updated browser-based user interface allows for dynamic route constructions functionality and optimization capabilities.  Navtech’s fuel burn calculations feature algorithms that allow users to produce optimized flight plans between any given airport pair taking all regulatory restrictions into consideration.  With its advanced route construction tools, NFP is the natural choice for creating routes in complicated airspace.  NFP utilizes the power of the browser to create crisp, clear readouts of the flight plan.
