Air Europa cuts fuel consumption by 3,000 tons annually

27-12-24

Air Europa continues to advance environmental sustainability by incorporating technologies and procedures that increase the efficiency of its flights. 

Since last summer, the airline has been using the OptiClimb application, developed by SITA, to provide personalized recommendations to pilots on the optimal speed during the aircraft's climb phase. Thanks to this tool, the company will save more than 3,000 tons of fuel per year and avoid the emission of some 10,100 tons of CO2 per year.

OptiClimb uses artificial intelligence to analyze flight-specific data and generate predictive models. The application uses three sources of information: the historical records of each aircraft, operational flight plan data (such as estimated takeoff weight and departure time) and weather forecasts, including wind conditions. With these elements, individualized recommendations are sent to crews during flight preparation.
