Akasa Air, the newest airline in India, has made significant progress towards creating a more efficient and environmentally friendly aviation industry. OpenAirlines, a world leader in aviation fuel efficiency solutions, has partnered with the airline. As part of this partnership, Akasa Air will begin using SkyBreathe, a specialised eco-flying platform that helps airlines save fuel, reduce carbon emissions, and operate more efficiently.
Akasa Air Joins Global Eco-Flying Movement With SkyBreathe
Now you might wonder, what is SkyBreathe all about? Think of it as a super-intelligent guide for airlines. Every time a plane takes off, SkyBreathe collects and studies huge amounts of flight data. It then identifies the precise areas where airlines can reduce waste, conserve fuel, and enhance their operations without modifying the aircraft itself. In simple terms, it helps airlines fly smarter, greener, and more cost-effectively.
SkyBreathe is already trusted worldwide. According to The Economic Times, it can provide accurate and verified fuel-saving recommendations thanks to its vast database of over 21 million flights from around the globe. Airlines using SkyBreathe have been able to cut down fuel consumption by as much as 5%, which also means reducing thousands of tonnes of CO₂ emissions every year.
As per the Economic Times reports, speaking about this partnership, Belson Coutinho, Co-Founder and COO of Akasa Air, said, “By using SkyBreathe’s advanced analytics, Akasa will gain deeper insights into our operations and find meaningful opportunities to optimise fuel use and emissions. This reflects our strong focus on innovation that supports our environmental goals while also delivering operational excellence.”
A Move Towards A Lower-Carbon Future In Aviation
Adding Akasa Air to its expanding SkyBreathe community is something that OpenAirlines is equally thrilled about. Alexandre Feray, CEO of OpenAirlines, added, “SkyBreathe will empower Akasa Air to achieve measurable fuel savings, reduce CO₂ emissions, and optimise their operations as they continue to expand,” The Economic Times reported.
For passengers, this partnership means something simple but significant: in addition to being more comfortable and effective, flights with Akasa Air will be more environmentally friendly. By lowering its carbon footprint with every flight, the airline will move aviation closer to a sustainable future.
The collaboration between Akasa Air and OpenAirlines hints at a cleaner, smarter, and more environmentally friendly future of the aviation industry.
