Glasgow, 11 June 2026 – Loganair, the UK’s leading regional airline, has announced a strategic partnership with OpenAirlines, a global provider of fuel efficiency technology, as part of its ongoing commitment to sustainable aviation.
The Glasgow-based carrier, which operates more than 70 routes across the UK and Europe, is the first UK regional airline to adopt SkyBreathe®, OpenAirlines’ flagship fuel-efficiency software.
The technology is live across Loganair's operations, marking a significant step forward in the airline's sustainability and operational efficiency strategy.
SkyBreathe® is a comprehensive eco-flying solution used by more than 80 airlines worldwide, including Air France, Norwegian, and Korean Air. The platform harnesses advanced algorithms, artificial intelligence, and big data analytics to identify fuel-saving opportunities, delivering actionable recommendations to operational teams and flight crews alike.
By joining the SkyBreathe® global community, Loganair will also benefit from other airlines’ experience and advice.
Luke Farajallah, CEO, Loganair, said: “We are proud to be among the first UK airlines to adopt SkyBreathe® and implement its innovative technology.
Fuel efficiency is not just a cost issue for a regional airline – it is central to our ability to keep connecting communities across Scotland and the wider UK in a way that's commercially sustainable and environmentally responsible.
We look forward to seeing the results as the programme matures."
Alexandre Feray, CEO, OpenAirlines, said: “Loganair has shown a clear commitment to reducing the environmental impact of its operations, and we are proud to support them as they take this important step in their fuel efficiency journey.
With SkyBreathe®, Loganair will be able to turn flight data into concrete fuel-saving actions, reduce CO₂ emissions, and benefit from the experience of a global community of airlines committed to more efficient and sustainable operations.”
The partnership reflects Loganair’s ongoing commitment to mitigating the environmental impact of flying.
In 2021, the airline launched its industry-leading GreenSkies environmental programme, which aims to deliver emissions reduction, next-generation aircraft, and reach net zero by 2040. It also operates the GreenSkies Community Fund, an initiative that supports charities, community groups, and small businesses in reaching their sustainability goals.
