Freebird Airlines upgrades its fuel-efficiency program and strengthens its commitment to sustainability by choosing OpenAirlines.

Istanbul, February 19^th, 2024: Freebird Airlines, the Turkish charter airline, announces the adoption of the SkyBreathe® eco-flying platform developed by OpenAirlines to improve its fuel savings performance. This collaboration underlines the airline's commitment to reducing its carbon footprint by utilizing advanced technology.

 SkyBreathe® eco-flying platform is an innovative software enabling over 66 airlines to achieve substantial reductions in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. Leveraging advanced technologies such as Big Data algorithms, Artificial Intelligence, and machine learning, the solution allows airlines to reduce fuel consumption by up to 5%. SkyBreathe® operates as a 360° comprehensive system, engaging all key stakeholders within Freebird Airlines. Flight operation managers, dispatchers, maintenance engineers, fuel managers, and pilots are all engaged in collective teamwork to enhance their overall fuel management system. 

Freebird Airlines has also integrated SkyBreathe® APM, a new-gen solution that automates aircraft performance monitoring across its entire fleet. This AI-powered software enables them to quickly address issues, anticipate maintenance needs, and consequently, reduce fuel consumption and optimize the entire fleet's health.

To guarantee the best possible results using these tools, FreeBird Airlines will be accompanied by OpenAirlines fuel experts, following them from the software implementation stage to the adaptation of their fuel efficiency program over time. Users will also benefit from the help of the SkyBreathe® user community. The 66 airline members of the community actively participate in developing the solution hand in hand with the OpenAirlines team. Users also benefit from the ideas and feedback from all the other customers, enabling continuous learning and improvement.
