Viva Aerobus joins the SkyBreathe® community!

The fast-growing Mexican airline Viva Aerobus accelerates its fuel efficiency program by adopting SkyBreathe® 360° eco-flying platform.
Mexico City, September 13th, 2023 – The dynamic, fast-growing and ultra low-cost Mexican airline, Viva Aerobus, is improving its carbon footprint by adopting SkyBreathe® 360° eco-flying platform to optimize fuel consumption, and reduce costs and CO2 emissions. It is a key opportunity for the airline to level up its fuel efficiency program and environmental commitment.
With a fleet of 77 aircraft expected to grow, the low-cost carrier has decided to use innovative digital technologies to optimize its operations and reduce its environmental impact. To this end, Viva Aerobus started using OpenAirlines’ solutions, the world leader in aviation fuel efficiency.
The platform solution SkyBreathe® uses sophisticated Big Data Algorithms, Artificial Intelligence, and Machine Learning to automatically analyze billions of data records from all types of data sources, including complete FDR records, operational flight plans, ACARS, etc. The software identifies the most relevant saving opportunities by combining them with environmental data from actual flight conditions (payload, weather conditions, ATC constraints, etc.). It provides a series of recommended actions that can reduce their total fuel consumption by up to 5%. Maintenance engineers, dispatchers, pilots, and fuel managers can all track various green operation procedures and work hand in hand to achieve better performances.
With the determination to go even further, Viva Aerobus has chosen to involve all its pilots by giving them access to SkyBreathe® MyFuelCoach. This application enables them to see their individual performance. Pilots can see timely insights into fuel usage to make more data-driven decisions and minimize fuel consumption and CO2 emissions on their flights.
“The SkyBreathe® software helps us improve our overall fuel management program. Since the app’s opening to pilots, they are much more aware of their fuel performance and how they can improve, and we’ve already observed interesting progress. We believe involving most of our teams will help us achieve significant fuel savings and lower our carbon footprint. We’re confident that these tools will support our growth effectively while developing a stronger fuel-conscious culture across the airline. We all embrace the goal to reduce our carbon footprint”, said Juan Carlos Zuazua – CEO of Viva Aerobus.
“We’re thrilled to collaborate with Viva Aerobus and strengthen the SkyBreathe® users community in Latin America. We are convinced they have made the right choice in integrating digital solutions to enhance their fuel management program. As an active and committed airline, we do not doubt this will help them achieve their sustainable objectives”, said Alexandre Feray – OpenAirlines CEO and Founder.
Conscious of the climate situation, Viva Aerobus seeks to strengthen a much more sustainable operation by various means: a high-performance fleet comprising recent aircraft, technological tool integration, Sustainable Aviation Fuels usage, recycling, carbon offsetting, among many other efforts.
About Viva Aerobus
Viva Aerobus is Mexico’s ultra-low-cost airline. It started operations in 2006 and today it operates the youngest Latin American fleet with 77 Airbus: 45 Airbus A320 and 32 Airbus A321. With a clear vision to give all people the opportunity to fly, Viva Aerobus has democratized the airline industry with the lowest fares in Mexico and the lowest cost structure in America, making their flights the best value offer.

Smartwings Group Selects Conduce ELB Solution
Smartwings Group, the leading Czechia based airline, has selected the Conduce eTechLog8 solution for deployment across the fleet. The selection of Conduce was taken after fully evaluating the ELB market over a period of time. The evaluation process was both lengthy and detailed, including at one stage considering the option to develop an application internally.

Ultimately the selection of Conduce as its ELB provider was made for several reasons. These included the fact that Conduce had a wide variety of airlines, including scheduled, cargo, ACMI and specialist operators, giving Smartwings the confidence that the application could handle all the operations conducted across the Smartwings Group. Also, during the evaluation period Conduce consistently gave honest and comprehensive product demonstrations, both remotely and onsite, which built up the confidence levels within Smartwings that this was the right solution.
Petr Hutla, Director of Technical Procurement stated that “By selecting Conduce to provide our ELB solution we know that we have selected an extremely competent partner to join us on the digitalisation journey. During our evaluation and selection process we saw Conduce grow and further develop its solutions as more and more airlines subscribed for the service.

Automatic data transmission from the tail-assigned cockpit devices will give MCC / MOC real time aircraft technical status. Also included is full integration with the fleet MELs along with interactive LOPA charts for cabin defect reporting. This will allow for greater efficiency during both the aircraft turnaround phase alongside the enablement of proactive planning for maintenance tasks across the fleet.
The project will also involve full integration with several of Smartwings existing solutions, including ACARS, CAMO/MRO systems and flight scheduling software.
Paul Boyd, Managing Director at Conduce said “Conduce is very excited and pleased to welcome Smartwings Group as its newest eTechLog8 customer. The project will be to implement eTechLog8 across the four AOCs under which the Smartwings Group operates, thus further increasing the reach of eTechLog8 in Europe.

Israel Revivo, CEO and President of IDMR Solutions, said, “this implementation takes ATI’s technical operations to a new level where Task Cards, Engineering Orders, and other maintenance documents get electronically signed; enabling real-time validations, such as skills and signoffs with live maintenance progress tracking features, among other critical advantages.” “ATI has been a valued customer for half a decade, and we appreciate the opportunity to partner with the company to reach its modernization goals,” IDMR’s CEO/President added. “We are committed to continuing to provide airlines and MROs custom-built solutions that are highly scalable, adaptable, and easily integrate with other enterprise applications. By putting in place the next-generation solutions, ATI captures the best practices and functionality inherent to these applications,” Revivo concluded.
“Implementing InForm’s eSign solution was a strategic project for ATI.” Paul Harding, Vice President of Information Technology at ATSG, said “IDMR Solutions is one of the backbones for our Maintenance, Engineering, and Planning teams which enabled us to reach this crucial and decisive milestone capitalizing on a solid platform with leaner processes.”
Matthew McKnight, Director of Quality Control at ATI, added, “We implemented an innovative end-to-end solution allowing the digital authoring and signoff process of our Task Cards and Engineering documents while also permitting the mechanics and inspectors working on the aircraft to electronically sign them while having the critical validations and verifications that are needed,” McKnight added. “This has been a game changer for Maintenance, whether in our hangars or on the ramps.”
