Scandinavian Airlines Ireland, an Irish subsidiary of SAS, has implemented OpenAirlines’ SkyBreathe solution to save fuel and to reduce CO2 emissions as part of its commitment to sustainable development.

“As part of SAS Group, SAS Ireland has many initiatives in motion to lower its CO2 emissions and other environmental impacts,” said Eoin O’Malley, Flight Operations Manager at SAS Ireland. “To go further, we needed to have a better understanding of our fuel consumption, that’s why we selected SkyBreathe. The software will be a great asset to help us achieve our goals.”

SkyBreathe Fuel Efficiency uses Big Data Algorithms, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning to automatically analyse data points from flight recorders. By combining them with data from the actual flight conditions (payload, weather conditions, flight path, ATC constraints, etc), the software identifies the most relevant saving opportunities.

“We are thrilled to have been selected by SAS Ireland to further reduce their fuel consumption. There is an important pressure on airlines to increase profitability while reducing their carbon impact. By using SkyBreathe, our customers reduce their first cost driver by 2 to 5%, while allowing them to become a leader in environmental excellence” explains Alexandre Feray, CEO of OpenAirlines.
