Philippines-based low-cost carrier, Cebu Pacific, has signed an agreement to implement Lufthansa Systems’ next-generation operations control and crew management solution, with implementation set to begin later in 2025.

The NetLine suite from Lufthansa Systems includes advanced capabilities in flight operations, crew planning, rostering, and real-time disruption management.

The operations control system collects and evaluates a wide range of data, such as weather conditions, airspace constraints and aircraft performance, alerting the operations control team to situations with potential operational, crew, or customer impact, enabling proactive measures to mitigate and resolve disruptions.

The crew management solution, supported by the aviation technology firm ROIS/Pi, takes machine learning and high-speed optimisation to shorten rostering cycles, deliver robust resource planning, and support a more balanced and predictable crew experience.

Cebu Pacific stands to benefit from reduced operational costs and enhanced customer satisfaction through faster, data-driven decision-making. The solutions will optimise roster planning, streamline trip trading, improve aircraft assignment, and strengthen regulatory compliance – supporting a more efficient operation and providing a solid platform for the airline’s continued growth beyond the base of nearly 100 aircraft today.

Mike Szücs, chief executive of Cebu Pacific, said: “This partnership is central to enabling the scaling of our operations. We’re investing in the internal infrastructure with world-class systems that will enhance safety, operational resilience, efficiency and crew wellbeing as we grow our fleet and expand our network across the region. This is all about preparing Cebu Pacific to capture the outstanding opportunity that presents itself both in the Philippines and across the broader Asian market.”

The agreement was signed at the Paris Air Show 2025.
