proudly at the many milestones in its history of shaping the digitalization of the airline industry Lufthansa outsourced its IT department to its newly founded subsidiary which has experienced a remarkable development in recent years “We now employ around 2,400 people at our locations in 16 countries and have established ourselves as one of the leading IT providers in the airline industry,” said Olivier Krueger we offer our more than 350 customers worldwide a comprehensive range of IT solutions Although digitalization was still in its infancy and the internet was still uncharted territory in the year the company was founded Lufthansa Systems lived by its slogan “We’re into IT” from the very beginning Thanks to its many years of experience within the Lufthansa Group the company was able to keep its finger on the pulse of Europe’s most successful airline and acquire extensive technical expertise This gave rise to an impressive product portfolio that covers many of an airline’s processes on the flight deck Lufthansa’s pioneering role soon enabled Lufthansa Systems to establish modern and efficiency-enhancing IT solutions across the entire aviation industry LOT Polish Airlines was the first customer that saw Lufthansa Systems break into the external airline market Lufthansa Systems’ innovative solutions gradually became established on the worldwide market the IT specialist was able to support customers of all sizes and business with its solutions Offering groundbreaking innovations such as FlyNet which first got off the ground with Lufthansa in 2003 which significantly enhanced the efficiency of revenue accounting Lufthansa Systems became an industry pioneer at an early stage The development of the paperless flight deck was another game changer as paper maps were gradually replaced by digital programs and modern apps that display weather airspace and traffic information in real time a new era of inflight entertainment began with the first wireless solution which enabled passengers to access onboard entertainment on their own devices for the first time Lufthansa Systems is also one of the market’s leading providers in network planning covers the entire process from network planning flight planning and codeshares to crew management until the day of operations and provides the ideal basis for decision-making by connecting data in a smart way Lido Flight 4D is a Lufthansa Systems solution that helps customers to optimize their flight routes and thus reduce flight times and fuel consumption This in turn makes an important contribution to airlines’ environmental efficiency as less fuel consumption means fewer carbon emissions Airlines can also reduce their environmental footprint by eliminating all paper-based maps and documentation for navigation “Based on these developments and the experience it has gained along the way Lufthansa Systems today is an important and reliable partner when it comes to digitalization and aviation expertise Leveraging our strong portfolio of innovative initiatives we will continue our tradition of shaping the future of digital aviation,” said Dr The Aviation Campus reflecting a strategic realignment the former Lufthansa Systems AG was realigned and the infrastructure part of the business was sold to IBM By focusing on the airline sector and implementing an agile set-up the company is in a position to quickly and profitably apply its IT expertise for the benefit of its customers Lufthansa Systems established the Aviation Campus and thus created an environment enabling digital innovation that promotes the exchange of ideas and the exploitation of synergies Current projects and developments include migrating products to a cloud-based platform and supporting airlines in harmonizing their IT systems in operations Applying the Total Mission Optimization (TMO) approach Lufthansa Systems is further optimizing its market-leading Lido solutions for dispatchers and flight deck crews This achieves a strong integration of functionality and data which enables the airline operation center and the flight crew to collaborate in an even more effective way The smart use of data is one of the key success factors in the future of aviation Lufthansa Systems and the start-up company zeroG are jointly working on projects to avoid delays in ground processes and are investigating ways to make the work of ops controllers easier Lufthansa Systems has thus evolved into an important integration partner and consultant both within and outside the Lufthansa Group The

The cycle-friendly city recently opened its second Bicycle Architecture Biennale, and it’s an expansive look at how bike-friendly architecture can lead to more thoughtfully designed cities Curated by Dutch studio Next Architects, the exhibition features 15 projects from nine countries, all sharing different solutions for making cities more amenable to cyclists. Some, like the Netherlands’ Utrecht Central Station that has 13,500 bike parking spots are part of a robust cycling infrastructure like the five-mile aerial bike lane in Xiamen are just the beginning of a bigger plan to make cycling a central part of a city’s transportation plan Some of the projects like a bike path that cuts through a water in Limburg are gorgeous pieces of architecture that almost double as art The goal of the Biennale is to not just showcase clever solutions but also present case studies that demonstrate how designing with cyclists in mind often leads to more livable cities in general The exhibition is on show in Amsterdam through June 21 and then heads on a global tour of “major architectural and citymaking events”.

processes for example when wood or biomass is burned large airports are a major source of these ultrafine particles which are less than 100 millionths of a millimetre (100 nanometres) in size they can penetrate deep into the lower respiratory tract cause inflammatory reactions in the tissue ultrafine particles are suspected of being capable of triggering cardiovascular diseases the Hessian Agency for Nature Conservation Environment and Geology (HLNUG) has been measuring the number and size of ultrafine particles at various air monitoring stations in the vicinity of Frankfurt International Airport for example in the Frankfurt suburb of Schwanheim and in Raunheim scientists led by Professor Alexander Vogel at Goethe University Frankfurt analysed the chemical composition of the ultrafine particles and came across a group of organic compounds which The research team has now corroborated this finding by means of further chemical measurements of the ultrafine particles: the particles originated to a significant degree from synthetic jet oils and were particularly prevalent in the smallest particle classes Such lubrication oils can enter the exhaust plume of an aircraft’s engines for example through vents where nanometre-sized oil droplets and gaseous oil vapours are not fully retained the researchers also succeeded in reproducing the formation of ultrafine particles from lubrication oils a common engine lubrication oil was first evaporated at around 300 °C in a hot gas stream which simulated the exhaust plume of an aircraft engine The number-size distribution of the freshly formed particles was then measured Professor for Atmospheric Environmental Analytics at the Institute for Atmospheric and Environmental Sciences of Goethe University Frankfurt the gaseous synthetic esters are supersaturated and form the nuclei for new particles that can then grow fast to around 10 nanometres in size constitute a large fraction of the ultrafine particles produced by aircraft engines The previous assumption that ultrafine particles originate primarily from sulphur and aromatic compounds in kerosene is evidently incomplete lowering lubrication oil emissions from jet engines holds significant potential for reducing ultrafine particles.” The experiments show that the formation of ultrafine particles in jet engines is not confined to the combustion of kerosene alone Potential mitigation measures should take this into consideration This means that using low-sulphur kerosene or switching to sustainable aviation fuel cannot eliminate all the pollution caused by ultrafine particles A comprehensive scientific study by the Federal State of Hesse will examine pollution from ultrafine particles and their impact on health the results from the current study can help to identify airport-specific particles and derive possible mitigation measures Publication: Florian Ungeheuer, Lucía Caudillo, Florian Ditas, Mario Simon, Dominik van Pinxteren, Dogushan Kilic,
