Flair Airlines, Canada’s leading low-cost airline, has established a new partnership with StorkJet to implement innovative, data-driven technologies to optimize aircraft performance and flight operations. Collaboration between Flair and StorkJet has led to the adoption of a comprehensive suite of fuel efficiency solutions. These advancements are helping Flair Airlines reduce its environmental impact and cut costs, essential for maintaining sustainable and profitable growth.
„Flair Airlines has selected StorkJet to commit to greener operations by implementing our full suite of fuel efficiency solutions. We are excited about this partnership and look forward to supporting Flair Airlines in achieving greater operational efficiency and sustainability.”, said Renata Niedziela, CEO of StorkJet.
A key factor for Flair in choosing StorkJet was the comprehensive package of fuel-saving solutions, enabling the airline to have a single provider for all its fuel efficiency needs.
“Partnering with StorkJet enables us to enhance fuel efficiency, optimize our operations, and minimize our carbon footprint, thereby elevating us above our competitors.” said Maciej Wilk, Interim CEO and President of Flair Airlines.
The collaboration scope includes several products, starting with AdvancedAPM, which automatically provides Flair with highly precise performance factors, allowing for improved fuel planning accuracy during daily operations. This solution reduces overburns, minimizes fuel overconsumption, and increases flight safety.
FuelPro, StorkJet’s fuel efficiency dashboard, is a suite of business intelligence tools that emphasizes fuel initiatives for all flight phases: flight planning, taxi, take-off, climb, cruise, descent, and landing. This web-based tool is designed for use by Fuel Management, Flight Operations, Dispatch, and other departments that benefit from access to fuel statistics of historical flights. FuelPro is based on tail-specific performance models that allow Flair to simulate any flight scenario and precisely estimate saving potential in every minute of the flight. The intuitive layout of the platform enables Flair specialists to gain information quickly, improving the decision-making process.
Another crucial aspect of the implementation is the involvement of Flair pilots, who play a significant role in improving fuel efficiency. Flair required a tool that could deliver fuel efficiency insights to pilots in a positive and continuously improved manner. To meet this need, StorkJet provided Flair with the EFB application designed by pilots for pilots — FlyGuide. This solution engages pilots with Fuel Briefing to help them prepare for the flight and equips them with in-flight and post-flight feedback to educate and improve. Lastly, FlyGuide FPO—Flight Path Optimization System—aims to minimize the cost of the entire flight rather than each individual flight phase by optimizing speeds and altitudes for the climb, cruise, and descent. The cloud-based optimization engine uses real-time and post-flight data to refine aircraft performance models and suggest saving opportunities in a continuous feedback loop. Cost Index, delay cost, contrail impact cost, or flight constraints can be dynamically controlled by the pilots or OCC. FPO provides success rate analytics and feedback for all of Flair’s stakeholders thanks to tight data integration.
