Toulouse, France – April 16, 2026 — OpenAirlines, provider of the leading SkyBreathe® fuel efficiency solution for airlines, will host the 6th edition of OpenDay 2026 in Toulouse from April 20 to 23. The flagship event will bring together 140 flight operations professionals, including representatives from 50 airlines worldwide, for four days of collaboration, networking, and shared expertise.
This year’s edition marks the first OpenDay held by the newly formed OpenAirlines–CEFA group, following the March 2026 acquisition of CEFA Aviation, a global leader in 3D flight data animation for pilot debriefing and safety analysis.
Originally launched as a SkyBreathe® user event, OpenDay has evolved into a global flight operations conference where fuel efficiency, safety, sustainability, and pilot training are addressed as one interconnected mission. The 2026 program will feature two dedicated tracks—Fuel Efficiency and Safety & Training—alongside plenary sessions designed to bridge disciplines and promote a unified, pilot-centric approach to operational excellence.
Hosted at the Palais Consulaire in the heart of Toulouse, one of the world’s leading aeronautics hubs, OpenDay 2026 will feature renowned airline speakers, including American Airlines, Lufthansa, Ryanair, Turkish Airlines, Pegasus, Azul, Air Caraïbes, and Loganair. The agenda will include keynote presentations, airline-led case studies, interactive workshops, and collaborative sessions, all designed to address real-world flight operations challenges. On the sustainability front, OpenDay 2026 will feature a high‑impact session with Roland Berger, which will unveil the latest Aviation Sustainability Index. The event will also feature contributions from leading organizations in the aeronautics industry, including pilot training specialist Simaero and NASA Ames Research Center.
OpenDay is increasingly recognized as a key industry meeting point as the SkyBreathe® community expands into a broader flight operations network, bringing together airline professionals to exchange best practices, share operational insights, and collectively shape the future of modern airline operations.
OpenAirlines is the global leader in fuel efficiency solutions. Its flagship AI-powered platform, SkyBreathe®, helps airlines reduce fuel burn and emissions by up to 5%. Last year alone, the SkyBreathe® community saved 714M kg of fuel, $600M, and ~2.2M tons of CO₂. In 2026, OpenAirlines acquired CEFA Aviation, a pioneer in 3D flight data animation. The OpenAirlines–CEFA Group now serves a community of 160+ airlines and 90,000 pilots, building a unified flight operations platform and pilot-centric ecosystem that sets a new standard for efficient, sustainable, and safe aviation.
