Sunclass Airlines partners with OpenAirlines to optimize fuel efficiency with SkyBreathe® solutions. 

Copenhagen, Denmark, Tuesday, November 12th, 2024: Sunclass Airlines, the Danish charter airline, embraces digital technology to reduce CO2 emissions in its flights by choosing the SkyBreathe® 360° eco-flying platform.

This new partnership with the world’s leading provider of airline fuel management solutions will help Sunclass Airlines improve its fuel efficiency program. This initiative is part of Sunclass Airlines’ ongoing commitment to reduce its carbon footprint and optimize its flight operations.

SkyBreathe® is designed to provide a 360° approach to fuel efficiency, involving all key stakeholders from flight operations and dispatch to pilots and ground crews. Leveraging the world's most extensive fuel efficiency database, which includes over 21 million recorded flights, this advanced solution collects all the data from the black boxes, weather, air traffic control, and maintenance. Through big data algorithms and artificial intelligence, it produces recommendations for airlines and pilots that allow them to reduce their fuel consumption by up to 5% without any aircraft modifications. The solution provides a user-friendly interface along with an intelligent AI assistant to help users easily identify where to save fuel by offering clear, actionable insights.

As part of its commitment, Sunclass Airlines will also implement SkyBreathe® NewGen APM. This advanced tool monitors the performance of each aircraft in the fleet, detecting inefficiencies and facilitating proactive maintenance and operational improvements. The AI-powered solution will make it easy for performance and maintenance engineers to gain accurate and seamless aircraft performance monitoring for more efficient flight, FMS, and maintenance planning decisions.

Sunclass Airlines is on a mission to cut CO2 emissions by 19% in 2030. We've come a long way with fleet renewal, the best load factors in the market and a state of the art flight planning software. With OpenAirlines' Skybreathe® we can now also actively tap into the potential of operational fuel efficiency with big data from our own operation as the foundation. Merging data from our aircraft, flightplan and operational systems we can identify the unique best practices that will suit our operation. Pilots will have much more statistics made available to aid in fuel decisions and the fuel team will have new sophisticated analytical tools to help make Sunclass Airlines best in class on operational efficiency.” Explained Andreas Biering, Fuel Manager at Sunclass Airlines.

To maximize the effectiveness of the tools and ensure smooth implementation, users will receive dedicated support from OpenAirlines' fuel efficiency experts. This guidance will help them achieve their targets more effectively and adjust strategies along the way.

By joining the SkyBreathe® Community, along with over 70+ other airlines, Sunclass Airlines will also benefit from a global network of peers, fostering collaborative learning and the sharing of eco-flying initiatives.

“At OpenAirlines, we are thrilled to welcome Sunclass Airlines to our shared mission of driving sustainability in aviation. By adopting the SkyBreathe® platform, they’re not just investing in a powerful tool to reduce operational costs but joining a global community of people from 70+ airlines committed to ambitious environmental goals. Being part of the #1 fuel-efficient airline network is a significant step for any airline seeking meaningful progress, and it energizes us to continue innovating and enhancing our solutions for even greater fuel savings.” Commented Alexandre Feray, OpenAirlines CEO.

Through this new partnership, Sunclass is well-positioned to optimize its operations and contribute to the industry's environmental goals.
