# \[White paper\] How to use big data to improve fuel efficiency?

 Published by [OpenAirlines](https://blog.openairlines.com/author/openairlines) on  Oct 24, 2018, 2:04:28 PM

The spike in fuel prices, generally airlines’ biggest cost, is quickly eroding carriers’ profits and jeopardizing their development.

Using this limited resource smartly has become the main priority for all aircraft operators around the globe. That’s why most of them have already set up a fuel efficiency program while the others are, or should be, planning to do so.

Moreover, innovative technology such as Big Data analytics is an opportunity to have a significant and disruptive impact on fuel efficiency programs over the next five years. Every airline should appropriately adjust their operations or leave the competitive advantage to those who do. 

Airlines cannot afford to ignore how to improve their operations using big data analytics.

**In this white paper, you'll discover:**

- How to set up an efficient fuel efficiency program: from a torrent of raw data to actionable insights
- What internal actions to set up and how to involve other departments in your fuel program
- What results Cebu Pacific and Ukraine International Airlines have achieved using big data analytics
