Mavi Gök Airlines (MGA) Partners with OpenAirlines to Enhance Fuel Savings and Reduce Carbon Footprint.

Antalya, Turkey, Tuesday, December 17th, 2024 – Mavi Gök Airlines (MGA), the emerging Turkish airline has now wrapped up its kick-off phase for SkyBreathe®, OpenAirlines’ renowned fuel efficiency solution established over a decade ago. Just two years after its own inception, MGA is embracing this innovative tool to cut down on fuel consumption and costs while reducing its carbon footprint.

Designed to analyze flight data and deliver actionable insights to help save fuel, the SkyBreathe® 360° eco-flying platform operates with the world’s largest fuel efficiency database, encompassing over 21 million recorded flights. Leveraging big data algorithms, artificial intelligence, and machine learning, the software will provide MGA with personalized recommendations to reduce fuel consumption by up to 5%, a substantial benefit, especially as fuel represents over 30% of airlines’ costs on average.

To drive peak productivity at every operational level, SkyBreathe® will be accessible to various MGA actors, including dispatchers, maintenance engineers, pilots, fuel managers, etc. The solution is adaptable to diverse roles and offers a user-friendly interface for smooth and team-oriented usage. The airline will also benefit from the ongoing support of an OpenAirlines fuel expert to help optimize the solution’s utilization and achieve new fuel-saving objectives over time.

The SkyBreathe® Community currently connects more than 70 airlines of different scales worldwide, giving MGA access to a broad network of peers focused on reducing fuel consumption and carbon emissions in the industry.

“We are proud to have taken this step and to have wrapped up our SkyBreathe® kick-off,” stated Deniz Celiktas, Flight Performance Manager at MGA. “We’ll be rolling out our fuel-saving strategy step by step, starting with proven practices and adapting with support from the OpenAirlines team to increase our savings gradually. Sustainability remains central to our mission and the whole industry nowadays, and tools like SkyBreathe® will be key as we work toward long-term results.”

To strengthen its fuel efficiency initiatives, the airline will also be able to use SkyBreathe® MyFuelCoach. This application will support pilots in monitoring and improving their fuel efficiency practices in both briefing and debriefing sessions. It will offer the airline additional support, and more fuel-saving opportunities. MGA will begin using the app in a second phase.

“MGA has made a smart choice in selecting a tool that will drive down their fuel costs and spending. We are sure that SkyBreathe® and SkyBreathe® MyFuelCoach will be a valuable resource in supporting their operational growth and delivering strong savings. We are proud to see the proactivity of a young airline committed to a more responsible and less environmentally impactful aviation industry, and we are glad to welcome them to the SkyBreathe® user Community” said Alexandre Feray, CEO of OpenAirlines.

This collaboration underscores the impact of innovative technology in building a sustainable future, with Mavi Gök Airlines (MGA) establishing itself as a dedicated partner in advancing environmentally conscious aviation.
