The first Indian airline to implement both SITA eWAS and SITA OptiClimb systems is Vistara, a full-service carrier in India and a joint venture between the Tata Group and Singapore Airlines. By doing this, Vistara hopes to greatly enhance the effectiveness of flight planning and operations, reduce fuel consumption, and cut carbon emissions by 15,000 tonnes annually.
Vistara is The First Airline To Implement SITA eWAS & SITA OptiClimb Systems
By giving pilots enhanced weather awareness information, Vistara will be able to increase overall flight safety and effectiveness. It acts as a very efficient method of disseminating OptiClimb recommendations. SITA OptiClimb is the only machine-learning system in the market that offers personalised climb profile recommendations for every flight, and it makes use of prior flight data to estimate fuel usage during the climb out.
By doing this, Vistara will be able to save an average of 80 tonnes of fuel per year per aircraft and cut carbon emissions by about 250 tonnes annually. Annual fuel savings for Vistara’s total fleet are predicted to be more than 5,000 tonnes, which will result in a more than 15,000-ton drop in carbon emissions.
