Flight Planning - Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow

Date: Tuesday 6 March 2018
Location: University of Sydney

Flight planning has evolved from the rudimentary plotting of a planned flight path to a highly scientific process involving multiple systems and advanced maths to achieve levels of optimisation demanded by modern air carriers.

Several years ago, Qantas embarked on a project to replace its’ current flight planning system. In partnership with the University of Sydney and the Australian Centre of Field Robotics, and vendors in Austria and Poland, Qantas has built a new flight planning system that fundamentally redefines the methodology that it uses to plan flights.

This talk will explore some of the changes that have taken place over the years and describe the development and planned introduction of the new system due for deployment in early 2018
