Briefing flight crews on the circumstances at the destination airport is usually done by sharing textual information in extensive PDF-files.

Airport Briefing automates and visualizes the information in 3D, significantly increasing the spatial awareness of the pilot about the destination. Equipped with an accurate mental picture of the operating environment and current conditions, flight crews are better prepared to handle unexpected situations.

The first version of Airport Briefing was officially launched at the international aviation conference and exhibition, the Passenger Terminal Expo in March 2017 in Amsterdam.

Lufthansa partnership

Over the years Synapse Aviation received a total of investments of half a million EUR. In June 2022, Synapse Aviation presented their partnership with Lufthansa Systems, with which the software solution will be implemented at all ten member airlines of the group, including Austrian Airlines, Swiss Airlines and of course Lufthansa Airlines.
