Volotea selects Aventus wind uplink service after successful evaluation

AVTECH Sweden AB (publ) and Volotea Airlines have today entered into a 2-year agreement for AVTECH’s Aventus wind uplink service, with a start date of August 5, 2023 and an expected total value in the range of 1.1 to 1.9 MSEK dependent on fleet size and EUR exchange rate development.

The Aventus service, utilizing the latest high-resolution aviation weather forecasting from the UK Met Office, provides precise and tailored wind and temperature information in-flight to Volotea’s aircraft. This leads to improved flight execution, increased situational awareness, and reduced workload for the pilots.

About Aventus

The Aventus Full-flight Winds service provides optimized weather uplinks for each stage of a flight, including the climb, enroute and descent phases. Aventus is a unique and patented system, enabling accurate wind information and 4D Trajectories for flights, making use of the very best in atmospheric modelling to create wind data packages for the different phases of a flight. Data packages are uplinked in real-time to the aircraft to enable the onboard Flight Management Computer (FMC) to accurately calculate a flight profile and the time when each route waypoint will be reached. The Aventus solution is environmentally friendly as it enables aircraft to fly more efficient altitudes and RNP approaches resulting in immediate airline fuel and CO2 savings benefits. The service is also imperative for future time-based flight operations, an area where Aventus provides even larger overall environmental and operational benefits. Time-based operations will increase the efficiency and punctuality of individual flights and of the air transport system.
