ACMI (Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance, Insurance) operator SmartLynx Airlines, is to transition to Flightkeys flight schedule planning system as the airline seeks to further digitalise operations. Following a year-long planning and preparation process, the Flightkeys 5D package was successfully moved into production on May 20th.
The software brings a high level of automation to the flight planning processes, including automatic generation of the Operational Flight Plan (OFP). This allows SmartLynx’s Flight Dispatch team to shift their focus from routine tasks to solving more complex operational challenges. SmartLynx reports that already the system’s speed and responsiveness have made it particularly well-suited to the fast-paced nature of ACMI operations.

Speaking about the transition, Jan Belina, Chief Operating Officer, Deputy CEO at SmartLynx said: “This step reflects our ongoing commitment to increasing operational efficiency and continuously raising safety standards. It’s been a year of focused collaboration and hard work, and we’re grateful to both the SmartLynx and Flightkeys teams for their dedication in ensuring a smooth and successful implementation.”
Georg Schiefer, Managing Director and Co-Founder of Flightkeys added: “We are proud to welcome our first full ACMI operator to Flightkeys 5D. Our industry-leading flight management system now supports all types of aircraft operations – from hub-and-spoke and point-to-point to cargo, business jet, and ACMI operations.”
Over the past decade, SmartLynx has consistently invested in the digitalisation of its operations – from the launch of the Paperless Cockpit initiative in 2015, to last year’s implementation of eCabinLog8, and the consolidation of Operations Manuals – Part A (OM-A) across all three AOCs to simplify regulatory procedures.
