Vietjet joins the SkyBreathe® community!
Hanoi, February 6, 2025 – Vietnam’s new-age carrier Vietjet has signed a strategic partnership agreement with OpenAirlines, a global leader in airline fuel efficiency solutions leveraging artificial intelligence (AI), continuing the airline’s journey of flight operations optimization.
Vietjet will be the first airline in Vietnam to adopt SkyBreathe®, an innovative platform that leverages artificial intelligence, big data algorithms, and machine learning to analyze numerous flight data and optimize fuel usage. The system collects and integrates information from multiple sources, including aircraft data and fuel reports, into a single platform. With over 21 million flights analyzed, the platform relies on the world’s largest fuel efficiency database for airlines.
The SkyBreathe® 360° eco-flying platform identifies concrete opportunities for fuel savings and provides practical recommendations tailored to various airline stakeholders, including pilots and flight operations managers for effective collaboration, fostering a green culture while maximizing productivity within their organizations. According to OpenAirlines' analysis, SkyBreathe®'s easy-to-use interface and detailed analytics will empower Vietjet to make informed decisions, reduce its fuel consumption by 2%, and lower CO2 emissions by over 96 thousand tons per year.
Vietjet will also roll out the SkyBreathe® MyFuelCoach application to all its pilots. As a dedicated fuel assistant, this app offers personalized eco-briefings and debriefings for each pilot. These tailored insights allow them to easily monitor their performance, identify areas for improvement, and implement optimal fuel efficiency best practices. This will enable them to lower fuel consumption while minimizing the environmental impact of their flights.
"This partnership underscores Vietjet's unwavering commitment to more sustainable flight operations. By harnessing the power of innovation and digitalization, the airline is transforming its ambitious goal of net-zero emissions by 2050 into concrete actions that benefit not only itself but the entire aviation ecosystem, travelers, and the planet. The implementation of SkyBreathe® is already underway, ensuring Vietjet can quickly unlock its full potential and start seeing measurable results,” said Alexandre Feray, CEO of OpenAirlines.
Vietjet Vice President Luong The Phuc also shared: “Today’s agreement with OpenAirlines represents a significant milestone in Vietjet’s sustainable development strategy. By leveraging advanced technologies, we can continuously innovate, optimize operations, reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, and enhance passengers’ flight experiences at reasonable costs. This collaboration also highlights Vietjet’s relentless efforts towards sustainability while delivering long-term benefits to the global aviation industry.”
By joining the 73 members of the SkyBreathe® Community, Vietjet gains access to a dynamic international network of airlines committed to developing a more sustainable aviation industry. As a member of this community, Vietjet will also receive ongoing support from a dedicated OpenAirlines fuel expert, who will help the airline optimize performance and maximize benefits all along its SkyBreathe® journey.
