Fuel costs keep rising, and carbon pricing keeps tightening. The good news: many airlines are already turning that pressure into real savings. This report shows you how. It’s built on real flight data, so you can see exactly which initiatives are delivering results for airlines like yours, and what they could mean for your own operations.

Get your copy here ❯

We looked at real flight data from the SkyBreathe® Community:  80+ airlines. +15 million flights. 714 million kg of fuel saved in 2025 alone. Here’s what the data says is working. 

3 top-performing fuel optimization techniques

1. Reduced Acceleration Altitude (RAAL): 146,601 tons of fuel saved*

Starting acceleration at a lower altitude reduces drag sooner in the climb. Depending on aircraft type and noise procedures, this saves 16 kg per flight for a turboprop, up to 200 kg for a long-range aircraft.

2. Continuous Descent (CDA): 100,093 tons of fuel saved*

Descending at idle thrust, without leveling off, cuts fuel burn during descent. A single-aisle aircraft like the A320 or B737 saves 30 to 70 kg per flight, larger aircraft can save over 250 kg. Read the full breakdown of Continuous Descent Approach.

3. Engine-Out Taxi-In: 50,594 tons of fuel saved*

Shutting down one engine during taxi-in adds up fast. Just 45 seconds of single-engine taxi on an A320 or B737 saves 3 kg of fuel per flight, across 30,000 flights a year, that’s 100,000 kg. See the complete Engine-Out Taxi-In guide for implementation tips.

*Total fuel saved by the SkyBreathe®Community in 2025.

These three techniques deliver strong results. But the full report goes further, covering fuel-saving opportunities across the entire flight journey: 

Trending airline operations’ efficiency initiatives

• Fleet modernization: how much fuel new-generation aircraft actually save over older models.
• Weight-reduction strategies: how airlines are finding savings without compromising passenger comfort.
• Dispatch & fuel reserves: what’s changed since the new EASA rules, and what it means for your fuel planning.

Katowice, Poland – 28.05.2025

LOT Polish Airlines and StorkJet are continuing to build on a collaboration that began in 2019 with the implementation of StorkJet’s Advanced APM (Aircraft Performance Monitoring) and has grown steadily ever since. As the next step in fuel-efficient flying, LOT has decided to equip its pilots with FlyGuide FPO for Flight Path Optimization.

 FlyGuide FPO helps pilots make the most of every flight. The application turns complex performance, weather, and aircraft-specific data into clear in-flight recommendations for optimal speeds and altitudes during climb, cruise, and descent. As a result, pilots can identify fuel-saving opportunities more easily and support more efficient flight execution in daily operations. 

“Achieving fuel efficiency requires consistent operational decisions grounded in real flight conditions. FlyGuide FPO enables pilots to optimize speeds and altitudes by combining aircraft performance data with weather and contextual flight information,” said Mateusz Dziudziel, Director of Fuel Department at LOT Polish Airlines

As part of the post-implementation cooperation, StorkJet visited LOT’s briefing room to meet with pilots, discuss fuel efficiency initiatives, and answer questions about the application over a cup of coffee.

Storkjet employees also had opportunity to observe FlyGuide app use throughout the flight. Team gathered feedback which is very valuable for purpose of customizing the app to better meet LOT operational context.

Pilots confirmed that FlyGuide and FlyGuide FPO are highly practical tools for day-to-day operations. They described FlyGuide as intuitive and easy to navigate, with information that is directly relevant to their daily work. Pilots particularly valued the expected taxi-out and taxi-in routes, anticipated arrival shortcuts, speed and altitude recommendations, and the clear presentation of fuel-saving opportunities.

“We are excited to continue working with LOT and to extend our solutions to support their flight opertions,” said Renata Niedziela, CEO of StorkJet. “FlyGuide FPO was designed to give pilots clear, data-driven guidance for making efficient in-flight decisions, so we are especially pleased to see how positively it has been received by the pilot community.”

Supporting Pilot Decision-Making Through AI to Further Promote Fuel Reduction

NABLA Mobility (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Founder & CEO: Shinji Tanaka; hereinafter “NABLA Mobility” or “Company”) and Skymark Airlines (Headquarters: Ota-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director, President and Executive Officer : Manabu Motohashi; hereinafter “Skymark”) are pleased to announce that Skymark has officially decided to deploy the fuel reduction solution for pilots “Weave.” 

【Background of the Deployment : Challenges in Optimizing Operations During the Cruise Phase】

Skymark positions the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions as an important management priority and is comprehensively promoting a wide range of initiatives, including fleet renewal, the utilization of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF: aviation fuel capable of significantly reducing CO2 emissions), and operational efficiency improvements.

On the other hand, optimizing operations during the cruise phase while balancing safety and on-time performance, as well as rigorously quantifying fuel reduction effects, has traditionally been considered a highly challenging area for improving fuel efficiency.

【Flight Operations Optimization Software “Weave”】

“Weave” proposes the optimal altitude and speed during the cruise phase based on various types of data, including aircraft-specific characteristics and weight, the latest weather forecasts such as wind direction, wind speed, and temperature, as well as turbulence risk information.

Traditionally, operational policies relied heavily on the experience of individual pilots and limited information. By integrating various forms of data and information and visualizing their impact on fuel consumption and arrival times, Weave enables more quantitative and reproducible operations. Pilots can use Weave as an application on their EFB※, while operations controllers can access it through a web browser on a computer.

Prior to the  adoption of Weave, Skymark conducted a trial period and verified the quantitative evaluation of fuel reduction effects. As a result, the airline confirmed clear fuel-saving effects and recognized the effectiveness of the solution, leading to the decision for formal adoption. Going forward, Skymark aims to promote decarbonization and optimize fuel costs through operational optimization during the cruise phase while striving to achieve higher-quality operations.

“In the aviation industry, achieving both safe operations under highly unpredictable weather conditions and reductions in CO2 emissions and fuel consumption at a high level is an extremely difficult challenge.

Many conventional fuel-saving programs have primarily relied on analyzing post-flight data and feeding the results back into future operations. In contrast, “Weave” provides optimal recommendations during the cruise phase, where fuel consumption is greatest, based on the latest weather forecasts and turbulence risk information. We are confident that supporting real-time decision-making while maintaining safety and on-time performance as absolute priorities is exactly the solution we have been seeking.

Under NABLA Mobility, which sincerely and carefully listens to the detailed feedback from operational frontline personnel, “Weave” continues to evolve even today. Going forward, we have high expectations for the company as a partner with whom we can grow together and co-create the future of the aviation industry toward realizing sustainable operations.”

About the OpenAirlines–CEFA Group

OpenAirlines is the global leader in fuel efficiency solutions. Its flagship AI-powered platform, SkyBreathe®, helps airlines reduce fuel burn and emissions by up to 5%. Last year alone, the SkyBreathe® community saved 714M kg of fuel, $600M, and ~2.2M tons of CO₂. In 2026, OpenAirlines acquired CEFA Aviation, a pioneer in 3D flight data animation. The OpenAirlines–CEFA Group now serves a community of 160+ airlines and 90,000 pilots, building a unified flight operations platform and pilot-centric ecosystem that sets a new standard for efficient, sustainable, and safe aviation.

As airlines accelerate efforts to improve operational efficiency and reduce fuel consumption, many are facing a challenge: transitioning from legacy tools to modern, data-driven solutions. Choosing the right platform can make a significant difference, not only in performance but also in ease of implementation and the ability to scale fuel-efficiency initiatives across the airline.

👋 Meet Mohamed AlMansoori, Manager for Fuel Optimization and Emissions Reporting at Gulf Air.

In this interview, he shares their experience moving from a discontinued legacy system to SkyBreathe®.  From evaluating alternative solutions to implementing the platform, Gulf Air explains why SkyBreathe® stood out and how the transition has enabled their team to take the next step in their fuel efficiency journey. 

Before adopting SkyBreathe®, how were you managing fuel efficiency?  

The previous system we had was the Honeywell fuel monitoring system.  We managed to utilize the system to the max, even though it required a bit of manual input from our end. However, we managed, and savings were made using the system.

The risks that I can see that happened are that it was time-consuming for us to apply each best practice that we have for our fuel efficiency program. The reason we adopted SkyBreathe® was the Honeywell system’s discontinuation, so we explored other options and then reached out to SkyBreathe®.

Did you look at other alternatives?

We considered a few different systems and went through trials and presentations about them.

Honestly speaking, SkyBreathe® was leaps ahead of the systems we have seen. Even though financially, we had to make a decision to go with SkyBreathe®. We saw the advancement in technology. We’ve seen the user friendly system that SkyBreathe® offers so that was the main reason we had to go with SkyBreathe®.

How did the implementation process go from kickoff to go live? Were there any challenges?

The implementation process was a highlight for us because we have experienced similar implementations in the past, and the whole process was smooth on our end, with the data set and systems we had, and the team and implementation team required.
