CHAMP Cargosystems has signed up Silk Way West Airlines to its Weight & Balance load planning software for its Boeing 747 freighter fleet.

Silk Way has been a long-standing customer of CHAMP.

CHAMP says the carrier was searching for a credible IT solution that would allow staff perform their load planning faster, with greater accuracy, whilst optimising the fuel burn of their aircraft.

Silk Way chief executive, Kamran Gasimov says: “The breadth of functionality and ease of use made it a simple choice to incorporate CHAMP’s Weight & Balance solution into the suite of products we already use.”

CHAMP vice president global sales and marketing, Nicholas Xenocostas adds it will help its client “further enhance their operational excellence”.

Silk Way uses CHAMP’s Traxon Global Customs, Cargospot Airline and Cargospot Revenue applications.
