Katowice, Poland – StorkJet is partnering with the German carrier Condor Airlines to implement data-driven solutions aimed at improving operational efficiency and reducing fuel consumption across its global route network.

Condor was seeking a modern solution to solve several data-driven problems in one product portfolio.  The airline required new innovative capabilities, including a precise aircraft performance monitoring solution to continuously assess the condition of each aircraft. StorkJet’s comprehensive portfolio, covering fuel efficiency and aircraft performance management, was selected as the best fit to support these goals.

“Condor continuously invests in innovative technologies to optimize operations and enhance sustainable efficiency. The partnership with StorkJet strongly supports this strategy by delivering data-driven solutions — such as AdvancedAPM, FuelPro, and FlyGuide — that reduce fuel consumption and provide comprehensive insights into Condor’s flight operations. We look forward to realizing substantial efficiency gains together,” said Simon Backhaus, Pilot and Ops Efficiency Manager at Condor Airlines.

“Condor’s clear focus on operational excellence creates a strong foundation for measurable fuel savings and smarter decision-making across the network.” commented Renata Niedziela, CEO of StorkJet. “By turning operational data into practical, day-to-day actions, their teams can improve planning accuracy, reduce fuel burn, and strengthen sustainability performance at scale. We are proud to support Condor in achieving tangible efficiency gains that directly impact both cost control and environmental responsibility”.

As part of the agreement, StorkJet will deliver its AdvancedAPM Aircraft Performance Monitoring system. The solution provides accurate, tail-specific performance factors that form the foundation for daily fuel planning improvements, overburn reduction, lower fuel consumption, and enhanced operational safety. The aim is to increase planning precision while cutting unnecessary fuel usage. In addition, the airline will implement Idle Factor Optimization to improve descent efficiency and energy management, supporting smoother arrivals and reduced fuel burn.

FuelPro, StorkJet’s fuel efficiency dashboard, with almost 50 predefined initiatives will support fuel saving across all flight phases. Built on tail-specific performance models and with flexibility to integrate any data source, FuelPro enables identification of fuel-saving opportunities which consequently can help reshape fuel policies. The platform also supports sustainability initiatives, including compliance with ETS reporting requirements, reducing workload and facilitating regulatory alignment.

The airline will further benefit from innovative FuelPro Lab, StorkJet’s analytical framework. FuelPro Lab combines fuel efficiency expertise with AI-powered models to generate custom parameters, models, visualizations, and advanced analyses within seconds. The advantages are numerous, including faster insights, scenario exploration, and more agile fuel-saving strategies.

Finally, Condor will deploy FlyGuide, StorkJet’s EFB application developed by pilots for pilots. FlyGuide provides operational insights throughout all phases of flight, including pre-flight fuel briefings, optimized taxi guidance, in-flight descent management support, and post-flight feedback to support continuous improvement.

We’re excited to start this partnership and unlock new savings potential together. Welcome on board!

About Condor Airlines

Condor has been flying its guests to the most beautiful destinations around the world since 1956 and, since March 2025, has also been connecting Frankfurt with exciting cities with up to three daily flights for the first time. Every year, a total of around 10 million guests fly with Condor to more than 70 destinations in Europe, Africa, Asia, and North America.  

With more than 5,000 employees, Condor operates a fleet of around 60 aircraft, which are maintained to the highest safety standards by the company’s own maintenance operation, Condor Technik GmbH, at its Frankfurt and Düsseldorf locations. At the end of 2022, the airline became the first German customer to receive efficient A330neo aircraft, heralding the renewal of its entire long-haul fleet during ongoing operations, which was already completed in spring 2024. Since then, passengers on long-haul flights have been enjoying a consistent, modern, and comfortable product on board the current 18 A330neo aircraft. By 2031, the long-haul fleet will be expanded to a total of 25 aircraft of this type. Since 2024, Condor has also been renewing its entire short- and medium-haul fleet and is expected to receive a total of 43 new aircraft from the A32Xneo family by 2029. Condor will thus operate one of the youngest fleets in Europe in the future.
