Cargo carrier Kalitta Air has become the first customer to use CHAMP Cargosystems' next generation Weight & Balance application in North America.
The application is used to manage load planning across the US-based airline's fleet of 14 Boeing 747 freighters. Of the new technology, Kalitta's CEO, Conrad Kalitta, said: "We selected CHAMP's Weight & Balance as we were confident that the application meets the requirements of our expanding business. We must ensure at all times that aircraft are loaded in line with weight specifications and restrictions to ensure maximum safety.
"This modern, well proven IT solution will enable us to perform our load planning faster and more accurately thanks to its high degree of automation, leading to an overall reduction of time and costs. Easily being able to optimise the centre of gravity will provide additional benefits as well as fuel savings."
