# \[CASE STUDY\] JetBlue’s fuel savings: positive ROI in 3 months
Published by [OpenAirlines](https://blog.openairlines.com/author/openairlines) on Dec 15, 2025, 12:32:44 PM
This case study is based on the experience and testimony of **Christopher Lum, Director & System Chief Pilot at JetBlue**, who leads around 4000 pilots and has been directly responsible for building and driving the [airline’s fuel optimization strategy](https://blog.openairlines.com/rising-jet-prices-airlines-strategy), leveraging [**SkyBreathe® Analytics**](https://www.openairlines.com/fuel-management-software/) and [**SkyBreathe® MyFuelCoach. **](https://www.openairlines.com/pilot-engagement-app/)
About Jetblue
|  | **100+** Destinations | 300 operating aircraft |

Their goal?
Define a strategy and create a team solely responsible for optimizing fuel burn.
> ## "We have some of the most advanced aircraft in the industry, and, as we fly them, tens of thousands of data points are coming off the aircraft. But we didn’t necessarily know what they were telling us. An important step was to find a partner to assist us in taking all this rich data and turning it into something meaningful that we can use. Not only to educate pilots, but also to educate the airline on how we can operate more efficiently."

Fuel efficiency initiatives
To support that goal, JetBlue implemented[ SkyBreathe® Analytics](https://www.openairlines.com/fuel-management-software/) and [SkyBreathe® MyFuelCoach](https://www.openairlines.com/pilot-engagement-app/). Here are the main topics detailed in the case study:
- Establishing a dedicated fuel optimization team to centralize strategy and operations.
- Selecting [SkyBreathe® Analytics](https://www.openairlines.com/fuel-management-software/) to turn raw flight data into clear, actionable insights.
- Engaging pilots through the [SkyBreathe® MyFuelCoach](https://www.openairlines.com/pilot-engagement-app/) app to increase awareness and adoption of best practices.
- Updating Standard Operating Procedures based on data-driven findings.
- Achieving strong pilot participation in fuel efficiency best practices.
- Realizing measurable operational improvements and fuel savings.
## A strong pilot engagement
| ✈️ More than 30,000 app check-ins in the first three months. ⛽$300,000 in savings just from engine out taxi in in one month. | "But we are not asking the pilots to be perfect. We have to communicate that it’s not about you doing it wrong. It’s about showing you where the opportunity may have been." |
