Katowice, Poland – 08.08.2025 – Wizz Air improves fuel efficiency by implementing StorkJet’s FlyGuide FPO (Flight Path Optimization) across its entire fleet. 

With the FlyGuide FPO module, pilots are supported with real-time, tail-specific recommendations for optimal speeds and altitudes during climb, cruise, and descent, delivered directly via FlyGuide EFB app. It provides clear, actionable guidance, helping pilots make better in-flight decisions. 

Before deploying FlyGuide FPO pilots were using the FMS (Flight Management System) to determine the most optimal speeds and altitudes. As this technology originates from the 1990s​, it is generic, uses simplified calculations and limited weather inputs, resulting in lower precision. It does not provide feedback to flight crews, leaving pilots to rely on manual decision-making​.  

With FlyGuide FPO pilots get real-time recommendations about speeds and altitudes, together with quick insight on alternative scenarios – including the cost difference when making other decisions. FlyGuide FPO uses highly accurate, data-driven performance models, high-resolution weather, and full integration of flight profiles using cloud computing. Pilots also get insights to understand why the optimum is where it is, what are the penalties if they cannot maintain it, as well as feedback after the flight. 

That is why, during the trial period, 88% of Wizz Air’s pilots reported using FlyGuide FPO on almost every flight, saying it improved their situational awareness and provided easy-to-follow guidance. After more than 10,000 test flights, the results spoke for themselves: a fuel reduction of 0.5% to 1% per flight. 

The implementation of the FlyGuide FPO continues a successful collaboration that started in 2019. From that time, Wizz Air has adopted the full range of StorkJet’s solutions, including AdvancedAPM (Aircraft Performance Monitoring for precise fuel planning), FuelPro (Fuel Efficiency Dashboard to save across 48 areas of operations) and FlyGuide (EFB App to support pilots in operational decision-making). 

“FlyGuide FPO has proven to be a practical and effective tool for our pilots,” said Diarmuid Ó Conghaile, Chief Operations Officer at Wizz Air. “It fits seamlessly into daily operations, supports better decision-making in real time, and delivers real savings. We are pleased to work with StorkJet on solutions that bring operational benefits.” 

“One of the key advantages of FlyGuide FPO is its ability to deliver tail-specific optimization directly to pilots in a clear and actionable way. This not only translates into 0,5%-1% of fuel savings per flight but also supports decision-making in real time. The fact that most pilots use it on almost every flight speaks for itself.” said Renata Niedziela, CEO of StorkJet. 

With FlyGuide FPO now fully integrated across the whole fleet (including NEO and CEO models, as well as XLR), Wizz Air improves efficiency and gives its – over 2,000 pilots – better tools to make more informed decisions during every flight in areas that directly influence fuel consumption.

Lido Flight 4D Integrated Flight Support (IFS) continues to optimize routes, enhancing efficiency while contributing to sustainability goals by reducing fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions. As the industry embraces new distribution models, Lufthansa Systems is setting new standards by redefining financial processes. SIRAX/ONE Order allows airlines to seamlessly integrate revenue accounting into an order-focused environment, simplifying financial management and enhancing transparency. The smart operations control assistant NetLine/Ops++ aiOCC uses reinforcement learning to enable real-time disruption management, helping airlines minimize delays and optimize resources. Another recent innovation generates profitable flight schedules from scratch or refines existing ones, allowing the airline to adapt to volatile market conditions and maximize network profitability swiftly.

“For 30 years, Lufthansa Systems has been shaping aviation IT with cutting-edge solutions. From AI-driven operational control to seamless financial processes and optimized flight planning, our technology has helped airlines to navigate a fast-changing industry. The future of aviation IT is intelligent, connected, and automated – and Lufthansa Systems is leading the way,” said Stefanie Neumann, CEO of Lufthansa Systems.

Cloud-based infrastructure and intelligent IT solutions drive the innovation strategy of Lufthansa Systems. By enabling optimized flight planning, digitalized processes, and scalable cloud solutions, airlines reduce their environmental footprint while ensuring operational flexibility. The Global Aviation Cloud offers a highly secure and scalable environment for mission-critical applications, built on partnerships with Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure. This multi-cloud approach enables seamless deployment across diverse airline systems, reducing environmental impact while enhancing operational flexibility.

As sustainability becomes a defining factor in aviation, smart IT solutions play a critical role – from AI-driven route optimization to digitalized workflows and cloud-based efficiencies that reduce hardware dependency.

“We need a holistic approach to aviation technology: The demand for integrated solutions is growing as airlines shift from solving isolated departmental challenges to enhancing cross-functional collaboration. Our iterative, agile approach to development is key to driving innovation and ensuring technology meets real-world needs faster and more effectively,” said Neumann. “AI still has its limitations, but its potential is vast – and the next decade will see it play an even more critical role in shaping the future of aviation. That’s why Lufthansa Systems is investing heavily in cloud-based solutions, AI-driven decision-making, and real-time operational control systems to drive this transformation.”
