Kópavogur, November 25, 2022 – Air Atlanta, one of the world’s leading ACMI and charter service provider, is implementing SkyBreathe® 360° eco-flying platform, the leading fuel management solution.

The AI-driven solution developed by the French cleantech company OpenAirlines will help the airline to further reduce its carbon footprint by identifying and implementing fuel-saving measures across its operations, including aircraft performance monitoring, thanks to the latest integrated product of the platform: SkyBreathe® APM.

SkyBreathe® Analytics is a comprehensive cloud-based solution that uses sophisticated Big Data Algorithms, Artificial Intelligence, and Machine Learning that help airline operators identify opportunities and implement practical measures to reduce aircraft jet fuel consumption within the operational scope.

The software collects, computes, and analyses billions of flight data, including FDR and QAR, as well as weather, flight path, Air Traffic Control, and payload to produce highly accurate fuel metrics based on exact flight conditions. 

The all-in-one platform is designed to embark multiple operational players who become active contributors to the fuel efficiency program, such as Fuel Managers, Flight Operations Engineers, Dispatchers, Maintenance Engineers, Pilots etc. End users can track fuel, money, and CO2 KPIs that are relevant to them through synthetic and easy-to-read dashboards and drill down any metric. Pilots also benefit from an individual eco-flying mobile app called MyFuelCoach™ to review and improve their flight performance.

In addition, Air Atlanta is also implementing SkyBreathe® APM, the newest product of the SkyBreathe® platform, enabling aircraft performance monitoring for increased safety and fuel efficiency.  The solution will allow performance and maintenance engineers to monitor how the entire fleet is performing in real-time, be notified of abnormal degradation, and get indicators for proactive maintenance, making it easy to solve problems faster.

“SkyBreathe® will help us address fuel optimization in all areas where fuel savings can be made. Not just in regards to flight ops, but also the indirect savings in maintenance costs. The SkyBreathe® APM module will help us streamline our aircraft performance monitoring process and sharpen our fuel requirement calculations. It also takes advantage of the easy SkyBreathe® integration and analysis capabilities to reduce maintenance costs and lower fuel consumption”, says Baldvin M. Hermannsson, Chief Executive Officer at Air Atlanta.

“We’re very pleased that Air Atlanta has chosen to join the #1 fuel efficiency community by implementing SkyBreathe^® Analytics to boost its fuel savings and reduce its carbon footprint.

They were already a mature company when it came to the aircraft performance monitoring process but they wanted to go further to maximize their impact on their CO2 emissions reduction. Going fully digital with #SkyBreathe 360° eco-flying platform, on both fuel efficiency and aircraft performance monitoring, will help Air Atlanta make data-driven decisions based on real data and bring their global fuel preservation program to the highest level,” says Erik Borrat, Sales Director at OpenAirlines.

Seoul, October 19, 2022 – Korean Air, the flag carrier of Korea, is leveling up its commitment to environmental protection by implementing SkyBreathe® eco-flying software to maximize fuel efficiency and reduce aircraft carbon emissions.

Under this agreement, OpenAirlines will implement SkyBreathe® eco-flying platform, the world’s leading fuel efficiency software. The software will automatically analyze the flight data of the airline’s 155 aircraft daily to improve operational efficiency at the fleet, route, and individual flight stage level.

The Big Data solution integrates multiple data sources for each flight in a single database. It computes achieved and potential savings considering the exact flight conditions, such as weather, flight path, Air Traffic Control, and payload, to produce highly accurate fuel metrics.

It generates insights, which are shared with all stakeholders through synthetic and easy-to-read dashboards. Pilots can visualize their actual flights in 4D and get an individual debrief on each fuel-saving best practice via a dedicated user-friendly mobile app called MyFuelCoach™.

This digital solution will enable Korean Air to quickly implement the most appropriate best practices to reduce fuel consumption. The main operational actors (flight operations engineers, dispatchers, maintenance engineers, etc.) and the pilots become active contributors through an all-in-one platform that empowers them and gives them detailed reports of their performance.

“Committed to various means of reducing carbon emissions, we acknowledge flight efficiency optimization as a powerful lever to decarbonization, and we aim to implement a practical plan to achieve concrete CO2 reduction results. SkyBreathe® will help us build the infrastructure to monitor fuel savings systematically and identify potential inefficiencies, ultimatelyreducing our carbon footprint,” says Soo-Keun, LEE, CSO, Executive Vice President at Korean Air.

“SkyBreathe® usually enables an airline to reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions from 2 to 5%. We know that it’s one of the airlines’ top priorities since jet fuel cost is rising and now accounts for 35% to 45% of operational expenses. Under the threat of climate change, every airline should have a strong fuel efficiency program involving all departments to develop a safe and efficient fuel and environmental culture. As a pioneer in the global aviation industry, Korean Air is taking preemptive measures to reduce its carbon footprint and mitigate climate change. It will be exciting to help them further reduce fuel costs while contributing to achieving their carbon neutrality goal.” Says Alexandre Feray, CEO and founder of OpenAirlines.

HELSINKI, FINLAND: State-owned emergency medical operator FinnHEMS, has opted for Rusada’s ENVISION software to manage its airworthiness and maintenance activities.

FinnHEMS operates Helicopter Emergency Medical Service (HEMS) flights for hospital districts from its seven bases across Finland. They utilise a fleet of 9 helicopters, Airbus H135s and H145s, primarily for the deployment of emergency specialists to incidents, rather than the transportation of patients. As such, their callout rate is typically higher and more frequent than standard air ambulance services.

With this high volume of flights and need for constant aircraft availability, FinnHEMS was seeking a greater level of confidence in their operational data and determined that ENVISION met all the requirements for the job.

“We are looking forward to relying on ENVISION to give us more certainty around our operations, as well as increased visibility on the readiness of our fleet.” says Tony Ellonen, Continuing Airworthiness Manager at FinnHEMS. “A key desire was to enable our maintenance teams to effectively plan for upcoming events. With ENVISION, vital information will be readily available to our main base and outlying deployment stations so that our helicopters can be strategically maintained, to be available at a moment’s notice.”

With Rusada’s help, FinnHEMS will now begin the process of consolidating their current systems into ENVISION, using its airworthiness and maintenance modules to manage their activities going forward. The solution will be accessible via the cloud from any of their operating locations, and its live dashboards will ensure key information is available and consistent company wide. This will significantly reduce user’s workloads and avoid any potential human factors conflicts.

Lufthansa Systems released some new features with Lido mPilot 6.2 in Q4 2022. The release introduced the possibility to display airline specific content called Company Layers, a Cold Weather Correction calculation tool, and included improvements such as ground and terminal charts effectivity and airspace labelling by ‘class’ & ‘name’. Additionally, some minor improvements following customer feedback from Lido mPilot 6.1 featured.

Company Layers offer the possibility for the airline to create content currently available in separate airline documentation and display that in mPilot. Examples are security airspaces, decompression routes or anything else you want your pilots to see.  

The Cold Weather Correction calculator is a new feature in mPilot that enables the cold weather correction in the terminal chart, where you need it, and prominently displays on top of the terminal chart. With this feature we eliminate the use of separate tables or apps to do this correction and display the data where required.

Another offering in this upcoming release is the support of STAP protocol to support the latest updates from Aircraft Interface Devices (AIDs) from Collins Aerospace and FOMAX from Airbus.

A further addition is the option to preview future effective charts. Up to two weeks before effective date, pilots will have the opportunity to preview future effective charts.

Contact your Lido administrator for more detailed information and stay tuned for more updates on lhsystems.com and social media.

Córdoba, Argentina, November 02 2022 – Seabury Solutions, a market leader in providing Information Technology solutions for the aviation industry, announced today the addition of Sky Airline, Chile, to their growing customer base of Alkym users.

“Through a meticulous evaluation process, Sky Airline chose Seabury Solutions’ Alkym to replace its current Aircraft Maintenance Management tool. It filled us with pride to be chosen by the client most known in the region for their innovation, growth, and adaptive business model. Our teams are currently working on an implementation project that will surely conclude successfully,” noted VP Sales Latin America, Manuel Roche.

“As Engineering & Maintenance Managers, we couldn’t be oblivious to the huge digital transformation process the company is undergoing. All internal processes and passenger-related processes are being automated and the airline is experiencing remarkable growth. Due to this, we’ve been looking into replacing our current Management Information System (MIS) with a new system that can support our growth and the new challenges we must face as an airline. The system will allow us to streamline all our maintenance processes and, as a result, simplify our daily work and interaction with our “skyers” through the system. The evaluation process to choose the new system was very thorough. Before launching the RFP, every department that interacted in one way or another with the system was consulted to make an internal list of prerequisites; this way, we could satisfy the diverse needs of our local clients. Alkym stood out as the one who fit most of those prerequisites while also being willing to fulfill all the leftover requirements in the middle-term,” remarked Sky Maintenance and Engineering Director, Cecil Davidson Tölg.

Dir. Davidson continues to comment, “One of the most important features that we need from our new MIS is the ability to work outside of the office and through intelligent devices, meaning it needs a mobile function, which Alkym provides. It is also very intuitive, which makes it easy to use and offers us the possibility to improve the execution and management processes of our productive areas. Finally, it’s important to mention that Seabury has shown flexibility through the whole process and has worked tirelessly to find a solution that fits our needs. We are sure that the implementation process will provide us with many advantages to develop and smooth our maintenance processes; in that way, Alkym will support us in reaching one of our company goals, which is to continue progressing to a complete digital transformation of our processes.”

“It’s always rewarding to welcome a customer with such fleet growth as Sky Airline, who already has 28 aircraft and is waiting on more to arrive in the near future. It means we are on the right path to becoming the most comprehensive M&E Solution in the market, something that we’ve been striving for the last 20 years. There will be other airlines and MROs that eventually will move away from their existing, outdated M&E Solution, and we will be there to welcome them as well,” asserted Seabury Solutions VP & Head of Sales & Marketing, Carlos Bianchi.
