Every airline collects flight data. But not every airline operates the same way.
Your procedures, your fleet, your routes... they're yours. So why should your analysis be limited to the same metrics as everyone else?
Standard fuel efficiency metrics cover most common needs; they're your starting point and can be very useful all along your journey. But if your team wants to go deeper, to study a specific moment of the flight, a custom procedure, or a very precise operational pattern, you'll need the flexibility in your tools to do so.
When we talk about data analysis, we often want to go beyond what standard tools allow.
For example, as an airline analyst, you might want to:
The good news is that with Custom Flight Indicators, the new SkyBreathe® feature to go beyond standard metrics, you can now define, build, and run all the tailored flight analytics that matter to your operations.
In just a few clicks, you can isolate the flight events, build the metrics you need, and run the analysis across millions of flights. Your data is entirely yours to explore.
That means you could finally understand exactly what happened on the first turn after liftoff? Or what are the altitude and fuel burn at 35 Nm after takeoff?
Or even compare old vs. new STAR procedures, during any segment of the descent phase, just like Azul did. >>> Discover how Azul saved 1.5M liters of jet fuel by optimizing Charts & ATC at Viracopos airport
"With Custom Flight Indicators, we could compare the old and new STAR procedures during any segment of the descent phase. This was especially useful when comparing 2 similar but different procedures, and it allowed us to validate the changes that we made." - Juliana Paes dos Santos, Fuel Efficiency Coordinator at Azul
SkyBreathe® Custom Flight Indicators allow you to create analyses that fit your specific operations and monitoring needs. No developer skills. No advanced training. Just autonomy.
Custom Flight Indicators is built for fuel teams, not engineers. There's no code to write and no onboarding curve to climb: if you can describe the flight event you want to track, you can set it up yourself. Here's how it works:
|
Define exactly what you're looking for. |
|
|
|
Build your own metrics. |
|
Run the analysis at scale. |
|
|
|
Visualize what you find. |

Beyond what you already know, customized flight analytics can guide your airline through a strategic shift in how you use flight data:
With SkyBreathe® Custom Flight Indicators, your operational questions don’t have to wait.
Set the indicator, define the flight-scope, and drive the analysis faster than a coffee break!
Your data. Your rules. Your insights.
