Montreal, June 26, 2025 – OpenAirlines is proud to support Air Transat, a leading travel brand voted Best Leisure Airline in the World in 2025 at the Skytrax World Airline Awards, in a new phase of its operational performance strategy. By choosing SkyBreathe® 360°, the eco-piloting tool developed by the leader in fuel efficiency software solutions for airlines, Air Transat will benefit from advanced analytics and targeted recommendations to reduce fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions.
SkyBreathe® is an AI- and machine learning-powered platform that provides personalized recommendations to help airlines make informed decisions about fuel consumption. Leveraging the largest existing energy efficiency database, with over 21 million flights analyzed, SkyBreathe® offers Air Transat the opportunity to reduce its fuel consumption and achieve a sustainable reduction in CO₂ emissions.

This holistic approach fosters collaborative use of the tool and helps support an eco-conscious culture within the airline while maximizing operational efficiency.
Air Transat will also benefit from the ongoing support of an OpenAirlines fuel efficiency expert who will guide them throughout their SkyBreathe® journey. This will enable the airline to ensure rapid integration of the tool, progressively reach its fuel-saving goals, and improve its environmental performance.
“We are pleased to deploy SkyBreathe® within our airline operations and convinced that the transition to this new platform will enable more informed decision-making, as well as greater flexibility and analytical capabilities.
