CHAMP Cargosystems has completed the implementation of its load-planning Weight & Balance application for US-based Kalitta Air.

“Kalitta Air is delighted with its decision with CHAMP’s Weight & Balance, and is confident it will be a key benefit for the months and years to come,” said Conrad Kalitta, CEO of Kalitta Air. “Integrating this software is proof that using the most up-to-date IT solutions will reduce fuel consumption, and improve accuracy with a highly effective automated process.”

The airline has already obtained approval from the Federal Aviation Administration to use the application for its fleet of 16 Boeing 747 freighters.

“The ongoing relationship with Kalitta Air and CHAMP’s Weight & Balance has been a natural fit,” said Nicholas Xenocostas, vice president of global sales and marketing at CHAMP Cargosystems. “The software is right at home with Kalitta’s expanding fleet. Kalitta’s devotion to accuracy in its processes will make load planning ever more efficient and effective. We are confident this is only the start of a long and mutually beneficial relationship.”

The Weight & Balance solution is a java-based, modular application which enables airlines to plan all aircraft loads safely and efficiently, according to CHAMP.
