Airline Galley Planning
The Airline Galley Planning is a critical component of airline operations and catering services. It involves the meticulous planning, provisioning, and management of food, beverages, and related equipment for in-flight service. This process is essential to ensure a smooth and efficient inflight dining experience for passengers while maintaining cost efficiency and compliance with safety regulations.
Key components are:
1. Inventory Management: Effective management of inventory is crucial to avoid overstocking or understocking of food and beverages. Airlines should use sophisticated inventory management software to track stock levels, expiration dates, and reorder points. This ensures that the right quantities of food and beverages are loaded onto each flight.
2. Catering Suppliers: Airlines partner with catering suppliers to source high-quality ingredients and pre-prepared meals. These suppliers must adhere to strict quality and safety standards. Negotiating contracts and maintaining good relationships with suppliers is essential to ensure a reliable and cost-effective supply chain.
3. Galley Configuration and Planning: The layout of the galley on an aircraft is carefully designed to optimize space while ensuring efficient workflow for flight attendants. This includes the placement of ovens, refrigerators, and storage areas. Galley configuration impacts both the quantity and type of meals that can be served on a flight.
Aviation Ground Handling
We have an integrated solution for joint planning and scheduling of multiple ground services processes: the Ab Ovo Collaborative Ground Services Industry Solution (i.e., “C-GSIS”). This could be one integrated solution, or each of the ground services (e.g., catering, fueling, etc.), often operated by different companies, could work in a stand-alone solution (i.e., the Ab Ovo Ground Services Industry Solution –“GSIS”) that has the possibility to integrate with other ground services at the same airport, to share operational information and create a joint schedule. Our solution is tailored to your business for a 100% fit.

#AirCargoOptimizedHandling
AirCargo Planning
The Air Cargo planning solution, based on DELMIA Quintiq (Part of Dassault Systèmes) helps to maximize the capacity of workstations and improve the flow of freight and cargo through the hubs. It increases planning quality and visibility with smart algorithms and KPI-based planning, and with this solution, you are able to handle more cargo in the same facilities with better on-time performance, making it both a booster for efficiency as well as customer satisfaction.
The Air Cargo planning solution assists the planners in scheduling the breakdown of incoming cargo and the build-up of outgoing freight for onward transport by truck or flight. Additionally, it supports the cargo airline to spread the workload better between peak and off-peak hours, which increases average employee productivity and workstation utilization.
Fleet and Network Planning
With our DELMIA Quintiq-based fleet and network planning solution, we help airlines operate a more flexible network, by allowing a flight schedule and fleet configurations to deal with the rapidly changing circumstances. The Ab Ovo fleet and network planning solution allows airlines to leverage their aircraft cargo assets in the optimal way, e.g. by finding the best flight schedule short-term and the best aircraft configuration to transport as much cargo and passengers as possible to maximize profit. Instead of responding to future events only, our solution enables airlines to predict the consequences of future changes in demand, by running simulated scenarios and assessing the impact on flight schedule and fleet usage.
