Lufthansa Systems welcomes first Indian partner for charting solutions with Alhindair

Alhindair, a new regional airline based in Kochi, India, is the first carrier in the country to adopt a scalable charting solution from Lufthansa Systems. The start-up airline, which plans to begin operations in October 2025, will initially rely on the paper-based Lido Route Manual to support its pilots before seamlessly scaling up with Lido mPilot, a digital EFB solution. The partnership, a first for charting solutions from Lufthansa Systems in India, paves the way for Alhindair to build its entire flight operations infrastructure on the German-based company’s Lido platform, its suite of flight planning and navigation products.
