Interview Anaïk Trihoreau, Product Owner at OpenAirlines.
A few words about her background: she has 17 years of experience in software production in the Aeronautical Industry. She has been working at OpenAirlines for 11 years, providing expertise in software development, customer support, and product definition.
Every year, international airlines must fill up two reports about their CO2 emissions and fuel burn:
The SkyBreathe® Emissions module is dedicated to help users to fill up faster both the official CORSIA and EU-ETS declarations and to monitor the data gaps and their causes at a glance.
For an airline, it is a challenge to list all the flights and compute each of their fuel consumption, identify out-of-scope flights, reach less than 5% of flights with "data gaps," and fill up the expected reports. The task is tedious and time-consuming, leading to mistakes. In addition, the verification step by an external entity is usually a source of stress.
As an expert in collecting fuel data from airlines, based on our SkyBreathe Analytics eco-flying solution, and because we have a good and up-to-date knowledge of the official rules for the declarations, it has been natural to help airline professionals with such reports. We offer a tool for computing and compiling the emissions in one click to ease the declarations filling in.
It's very simple! The user just needs to extract data from its airline information system in a specified format, then upload it in the SkyBreathe® Emissions module to get the results in a few minutes and check the data gaps.
In case of missing data, it is easy to identify the involved flights. Then, the user fixes the gap in the airline system and starts the process again.
Our users usually run this process once a year on the eve of the deadline to declare. Ideally, we recommend doing this once a month to fix data all along the year. You probably know the quote from Jez Humble "If it hurts, do it more often, and bring the pain forward."
At the end of the year, the user must upload the full-year data in the Emissions module and copy-paste the generated reports in the CORSIA and EU-ETS templates.
