trotz verlsut erwartet virgin blue dieses jahr noch den break even..
Lufthansa Systems, a German provider of IT services for the airline sector, and Australian airline Virgin Blue have signed a long-term contract for the implementation of LoadControl weight and balance solutions at the airline.
According to Lufthansa Systems, after the implementation, Virgin Blue will benefit from lower fuel consumption in its daily flight operations. LoadControl optimizes the load planning of an aircraft, resulting in an increased payload available for additional passengers, baggage or cargo.
The LoadControl solution generates additional revenue potential and reduced fuel consumption of up to 0.5% per flight. Its auto load planning capabilities and the fully automated time driven mode also reduce process costs and improve reliability.
Andrew David, COO of Virgin Blue, said: "LoadControl is a renowned weight and balance application. This proven solution will take our aircraft handling processes to a new level of efficiency. In the current economic environment, this will enhance our competitive position through better aircraft load planning."

UPDATE 4.51pm: VIRGIN Blue expects to break even this financial year after posting a $160 million full-year loss.
A decline in demand for air travel and costs associated with the launch of its long-haul offshoot V Australia contributed to the loss for the 12 months to June 30. This compared with a net profit of $98 million a year earlier.
Excluding significant items, Virgin Blue reported an underlying net loss of $13 million for 2008/09.
The result was in line with the company's forecast in July when it announced a $231 million capital raising.
Chief executive Brett Godfrey said in a statement the operating environment over the past year had been one of the toughest the company had experienced.
Group revenue rose 13 per cent to $2.6 billion while costs grew 22 per cent to $2.7 billion, due mainly to the launch of V Australia and fleet expansion.
Short-haul operations put in a strong performance despite intense competition in the domestic market.
Passenger revenue was up 9.9 per cent. Yield, which measures the revenue an airline makes on each passenger per kilometre, was down only 2.4 per cent and its planes were 79.2 per cent full of passengers on average.
In comparison, V Australia reported an earnings loss of $64 million in its first four months of operations and its planes were only 62.3 per cent full of paying passengers on average.
The company said it expects to break even this financial year, with a positive group cash flow, excluding proceeds from the capital raising.
The airline also expects its cost cutting program to deliver $150 million in savings this financial year.
Sir Richard Branson's Virgin Group now owns about 30.2 per cent of the Australian carrier following the recent capital raising.
Air New Zealand reported a 90 per cent fall in annual net profit to $NZ21 million ($A17.32 million), while Qantas Airways last week reported an 88 per cent plunge in annual net profit to $117 million for 2008/09.
Virgin Blue did not declare a final dividend.
