NetLine HubDesigner
The solution for (O&D) network airlines with one or more hubs
Boost network profitability and accelerate time to market
NetLine HubDesigner builds profit optimized (multi-)hub networks considering market demand and competition schedules. It selects the right routes to be served and builds up the network optimizing direct and connecting traffic. The optimizer considers operational constraints, like airport slots & aircraft restrictions, and builds operational feasible and rotated schedules.
Network profitability
Considering an airlines costs and revenue data, NetLine HubDesigner creates the most profitable networks by choosing the best combination of routes and by balancing optimal flight times, with frequencies and capacities per routes.
Scenario capability
NetLine HubDesigner’s scenario modeling helps airlines evaluate use cases from strategic planning to seasonal adjustments, calculating scenarios on demand while considering business targets and constraints like ground, block, and airport slots.
Plannning efficiency
Network planning and scheduling teams can concentrate on evaluating multiple schedule scenarios and consider operational constraints from the outset. NetLine HubDesigner protects your business by speeding up time to market while simultaneously improving planning quality.
Key benefits
NetLine HubDesigner builds profitable, operationally feasible schedules and helps airlines adapt fast to changing market conditions.
Network design
NetLine HubDesigner boosts O&D network profitability by optimizing traffic offers, capturing low demand through hubs, adding new routes to increase offered O&Ds, and replacing low-contribution flights with profitable routes.
(Multi)-hub optimization
NetLine HubDesigner efficiently creates bank structures with optimal flight and passenger connection times. It generates schedules based on available slots and mitigates intra-hub competition in multi-hub environments.
Fleet assignment and time optimization
In contrast to sequential optimization of flight times and fleet assignment, higher network profitability is obtained by optimizing flight times and aircraft capacity simultaneously.
Operational feasible schedule
The optimizer considers commercial and operational requirements, such as airport slots, maintenance, and aircraft restrictions. It generates rotated schedules based on airlines’ turn times and block time rules.
Seamless integration
NetLine HubDesigner is reliably embedded in the commercial business processes via integration with NetLine Plan and NetLine Sched.
Fast & easy – LSY ‘s global aviation cloud
NetLine HubDesigner is offered as a cloud-based end-to-end service for simple, cost-effective, and scalable use. Security measures are certified according to multiple industry standards and regularly reviewed in audits.
Customer statements
„HubDesigner is a strong tool to optimize hub efficiency. We are already using it and we’re seeing the results. We will continue using it to redesign our wave structures in our several hubs. We will also us it to increase that connection quality and connectivity in our hubs.“
Mert Köksal, Senior Network Planner at Pegasus Airlines
“[With Hub Designer] we are much quicker and have much more transparency in taking decisions on complex topics. So we can really optimize the whole hub or multiple routes at the same time with multiple constraints in one optimization.”
Enea Borra, Project Manager Network Solutions at Lufthansa Group

New solution to optimize (multi-)hub networks
Lufthansa Systems announced the launch of the NetLine HubDesigner, an optimizer that generates profitable (multi-)hub networks, optimizes fleet utilization, and creates the ideal bank structure at a single hub or in a multi-hub environment. Based on advanced artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, the solution harmonizes supply and demand while considering operational restrictions.
