SITA extends SITA OptiFlight® scope to vertical cruise inflight optimization via the module SITA Optilevel carrying on its path towards a full flight approach.
In addition to its climb-out optimization module SITA OptiClimb® currently used by almost 40 airlines worldwide, SITA OptiFlight® also allows pilots to cut fuel burn and carbon emissions during the cruise thanks to the module SITA OptiDirect that provides direct routes recommendation based on historical track flown.
From Q4 2024, SITA will enrich SITA OptiFlight® with the new module SITA Optilevel, enabling airlines to achieve additional and significant fuel savings and emissions reduction. The module is currently used within two airlines in the frame of innovation partnerships. SITA OptiLevel already showed great achievements allowing our innovation partners to save in average 1% of the cruise fuel burn.
On most flights, the cruise phase is the highest fuel consuming phase offering thus great inflight fuel saving opportunities. Indeed, Flight Levels in flight plans are constrained, but there is a possibility to adapt the vertical profile to real weather and ATC conditions as well as to climb between waypoints. However, differences in winds may cancel the positive effect of flying higher. In addition, pilots can adjust Mach speed for on-time arrival when they are ahead or behind schedule and not in a position to request a new flight plan. Pilots can thus also optimize the fuel/time ratio but may not have enough information to perform speed adjustments since the relationship between cruise Mach, time, and fuel consumption is not linear. Depending on winds and Flight Level, a decrease in Mach may result in either a decrease or increase in trip fuel. In addition, the fuel consumption of additional flight time resulting should be considered.
SITA OptiLevel advises pilots on best initial flight level and cruise level and speed changes considering winds and aircraft weight. SITA OptiLevel uses tail-specific predictive performance models in combination with accurate 4D weather forecasts to adjust vertical profile and cruise speeds. It offers pilots the best flight level/wind trade-off.
In addition, SITA Optilevel will be able to consider unexpected Flight Level or speed changes to provide a new set of recommendations inflight leveraging aircraft connectivity.
Finally, building on QAR data, SITA Optilevel allows to compute savings post-flight and customers will receive monthly reports summarizing the usage of SITA OptiLevel alongside the accumulated savings generated with the use of the module.
“Our ambition is to help the air transport industry progress faster on our shared journey to net zero” said Yann Cabaret, CEO, SITA FOR AIRCRAFT. “With innovative, cost-effective, and data driven solutions like SITA OptiFlight®, we can help all airlines and their employees to make more informed decisions that drive greater and much-needed operational efficiencies today”
Pioneering sustainable aviation: Philippine Airlines pilots embrace SkyBreathe® OnBoard for eco-friendly flying, a first in Asia
Manila, Philippines, May 14, 2024: Philippine Airlines (PAL) becomes the first Asian airline to adopt SkyBreathe® OnBoard to increase fuel savings live from the flight deck.
The country flag carrier has announced its partnership with OpenAirlines, the leading provider of fuel management solutions for airlines to integrate SkyBreathe® OnBoard into its operations. This collaboration marks a significant step forward in the airline’s commitment to environmental responsibility and operational efficiency.
SkyBreathe® OnBoard is a user-friendly digital solution that uses advanced algorithms based on the world’s largest fuel-efficiency database and real-time data to provide live assistance on fuel-saving initiatives in the cockpit.
The solution is part of the SkyBreathe® eco-flying platform, the leading fuel management software today used by 66 airlines worldwide to reduce CO2 emissions and increase efficiency and savings. SkyBreathe® OnBoard is designed to engage pilots and achieve additional fuel savings on the go.
For example, the integrated Direct Assistant enables pilots to receive timelynotifications for in-flight shortcut opportunities for better decision-making. The recommendations consider real-time flight constraints based on the most granted direct routes by Air Traffic Control for fuel-saving and time-saving potential. This strategic implementation is forecasted to yield over 30% incremental improvement in fuel savings compared to normal operations, resulting in a quick return on investment.
By pioneering the integration of this groundbreaking solution, PAL strengthens its position as a forward-thinking leader in the Asia-Pacific region, demonstrating a steadfast commitment to environmental stewardship and innovation.
“Our dynamic partnership with OpenAirlines reinforces our commitment to fostering innovation and collaboration within the aviation ecosystem,” said Capt. Stanley K. Ng, PAL President & Chief Operating Officer.
“Since we started working with OpenAirlines in 2022 with the implementation of SkyBreathe® Analytics, we have achieved significant fuel savings. We have decided to bring this partnership further by adopting the latest innovation from the platform, engaging pilots in applying fuel-efficient initiatives at the right time during the flight. We are convinced that bringing SkyBreathe® OnBoard will further improve PAL’s operational performance.”
“During the flight, pilots are busy performing many tasks, and it’s hard to know which, when, and how to apply fuel best practices. SkyBreathe® OnBoard results from years of dedicated R&D and collaboration with pilots to build an app that can push relevant and timely notifications on fuel-saving opportunities for good and quick decision-making without additional workload. We are honored that Philippine Airlines has become our first customer in Asia-Pacific to adopt SkyBreathe® OnBoard.” Says Alexandre Feray, CEO of OpenAirlines.
“We trust Philippine Airlines’ capacity to elevate fuel efficiency efforts and achieve remarkable savings.”
As the aviation industry continues to devote attention to sustainability and efficiency, collaborations like the one between Philippine Airlines and OpenAirlines attest to the transformative potential of digital solutions in shaping a greener future for air transport.

Pegasus Airlines joins the SkyBreathe® community!
Pegasus Airlines selects SkyBreathe® 360° eco-flying platform to increase fuel efficiency and lower carbon emissions.
Istanbul, November 20th; 2023: Pegasus, Türkiye’s leading low-cost airline, has taken a significant step towards further enhancing its operational efficiency and environmental action by adopting SkyBreathe® 360° eco-flying platform to reduce fuel costs and CO2 emissions from its flights.

By leveraging this data-driven approach, Pegasus Airlines aims to achieve significant reductions in fuel consumption, leading to both financial savings and a notable decrease in its carbon footprint.
