Seoul, October 1, 2025 – Jin Air, a leading South Korean airline, has launched a major initiative to reduce carbon emissions by implementing SkyBreathe®, the fuel management software developed by OpenAirlines. The platform will help the airline align with global decarbonization efforts by automating data analysis and improving efficiency and accuracy through advanced visualization tools. Pilots will also be able to actively engage in fuel-saving practices through the dedicated mobile app, SkyBreathe® MyFuelCoach.

The SkyBreathe® platform, developed by OpenAirlines, a leading solution in airlines’ fuel efficiency, leverages big data and AI to provide actionable insights for carbon reduction. By precisely analyzing fuel consumption across every phase of flight operations, it recommends optimal measures to reduce emissions, helping the airline implement more effective and eco-friendly operational strategies.

Through this introduction, Jin Air will not only reduce carbon emissions but also establish a proactive response system in line with global decarbonization efforts. Manual data extraction and analysis, previously handled by staff, are now automated, resulting in significant improvements in efficiency. Easier data sharing across departments will also enhance the accuracy and speed of decision-making for sustainable operations.

In addition to fuel managers, maintenance engineers, dispatchers, and air operations managers, pilots can also contribute to carbon reduction efforts through a dedicated application designed specifically for them. SkyBreathe® MyFuelCoach enables them to view eco-friendly operational data, including technical information on CO₂ reduction measures from past flights across various operational phases.

Following this introduction, Jin Air plans to establish an in-house consultative body to enhance communication between departments and further improve its eco-friendly operational capabilities.

A Jin Air representative said, “Decarbonization is a global trend for a sustainable future. We will enhance our company-wide, data-driven cooperation system to respond to climate change and establish ourselves as a ‘green airline’ leading low-carbon growth.”

“We are proud to welcome Jin Air to the SkyBreathe® Community, which now brings together more than 75 airlines worldwide committed to reducing their environmental footprint. By joining this growing network, Jin Air will not only benefit from advanced AI-driven fuel efficiency solutions but also from the collective intelligence and best practices shared among leading carriers. We are excited to work hand in hand with Jin Air to achieve meaningful impact.” said Alexandre Feray, CEO of OpenAirlines.

Meanwhile, Jin Air is carrying out a variety of initiatives to achieve eco-friendly green management. Last year, the airline introduced four fuel-efficient B737-8 aircraft, and it plans to add the A321NEO in the second half of next year. Both aircraft types offer higher fuel efficiency, supporting carbon emission reduction. Since November last year, Jin Air has also been actively contributing to greenhouse gas reduction by starting the refueling of a Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) blend on the Incheon–Kitakyushu route.

Other initiatives include minimizing paper use by adopting in-flight tablet PCs and mobile boarding passes, expanding the purchase of eco-friendly, green-certified products, conducting a uniform upcycling campaign, and participating in local community-linked environmental protection activities.
