With a shared commitment to innovation and safe, seamless flight operations, Cargolux has partnered with Cathay Technologies to introduce the Electronic Flight Folder (EFF) solution across its flight operations. The agreement was sealed at Cargolux’s headquarters in Luxembourg, in the presence of Captain James Toye, Head of Line Operations, Cathay and Chief Product Owner, Cathay Technologies and Claude Konsbrück, Vice-President Flight Operations, Cargolux.
As airlines continue to digitise operations and manage increasing operational complexity, integrated, real-time flight tools are becoming essential to enhancing safety, efficiency, and sustainability. This partnership reflects the commitment of Cargolux and Cathay Technologies to delivering a more connected and streamlined operational environment for flight crew.
Designed with pilots at its core, the EFF digitises and centralises critical flight information—including flight plans, load sheets, and fuel data—into a single, integrated platform. This enables more intuitive workflows, supports faster, better-informed decision-making, and enhances overall operational efficiency. A key capability introduced in this partnership is Ops Chat—an integrated, real-time communication tool embedded within the flight workflow, which enables seamless coordination between flight crew and ground teams.
“We set out to select an Electronic Flight Folder that delivers genuine innovation and moves beyond incremental evolution of legacy concepts. The solution from Cathay Technologies combines advanced functionality with a strong pilot-centred design, supporting safe, efficient, and compliant flight operations within a fully paperless environment at Cargolux. This new tool represents a clear investment in the sustainability and efficiency of our operations, fully aligned with our commitment to safety and operational excellence”, says Claude Konsbrück, Vice-President Flight Operations, Cargolux.
Navin Chellaram, CEO, Cathay Technologies, says, “We are delighted to partner with Cargolux to enhance its flight operations through our Electronic Flight Folder solution. Built on our deep airline operational expertise and designed with pilots at its core, our solution simplifies workflows, improves efficiency, and supports safer, more connected operations.
By combining Cargolux’s deep expertise in global cargo operations with Cathay Technologies’ airline-proven digital platforms, this partnership creates a powerful foundation for scaling next-generation flight operations.”
This partnership marks a significant step forward in advancing digital flight operations within the cargo aviation sector. Together, Cargolux and Cathay Technologies are setting a new standard for more connected, efficient, and future-ready operations, underpinned by a shared commitment to safety, innovation, and continuous improvement.
