- Ultra-low cost airline in Colombia to use
flight data and analytics to help increase operational cost
savings
- Fuel Insight and FlightPulse® to promote
sustainability, operational efficiency, and help reduce carbon
emissions
GE Digital today announced that Viva Air, an ultra-low-cost
airline in Colombia, has contracted for two Aviation Software
solutions to further its sustainability goals including fuel
consumption. Viva will be implementing GE Digital’s Fuel Insight,
and FlightPulse® to identify and quantify specific opportunities to
optimize operations and maximize emission reduction.
GE Digital’s Flight Analytics platform helps airline operators,
managers and pilots improve flight safety with multi-system flight
data collection and analytics to help optimize operating procedures
and overall airline safety. Data from the system can improve safety
and reduce carbon emissions. With fully-automated data quality
checks and error correction, airlines get better insight faster
with less human intervention. And the solution takes safety a step
further by including fuel efficiency analytics to help operators
fly both safely and efficiently, identifying savings opportunities
and quantifying the results. Viva will be the first low-cost
carrier in Colombia to utilize flight analytics in their
operations.
“Viva is one of the fastest growing airlines in Colombia and
South America,” said Felix Antelo, President and CEO from Viva Air.
“This year, we have added 14 out of 50 new aircraft flying more
than 3,100 flights per month. Our mission is to deliver a
consistent and accessible service to customers, promoting a low
cost model in the region with sustainability and efficiency. These
software solutions will allow us to fulfill that mission.”
Fuel Insight is a cost and emissions reduction solution that
works by understanding real data from your aircraft and airline.
Fuel Insight utilizes our powerful aviation data and analytics
platform to merge flight data with flight plans and uncover
valuable insight to help increase aircraft fuel efficiency and
reduce waste. Fuel Insight gives operators actionable intelligence
at multiple levels allowing analysts to drill down from macro
trends to understand issues on a per-flight level.
Having one of the youngest fleets in the region, providing
pilots access to data from across the operation is critical.
FlightPulse is a fully configurable modular Electronic Flight Bag
(EFB) application that puts data key to operational decisions
directly in the hands of pilots. Designed by pilots, for pilots,
FlightPulse provides access to aggregated data for more informed
fuel decisions and departure briefings, as well as secure access to
data from a pilot’s individual flight history, allowing them to
analyze their own operation of the aircraft and self-discover areas
to optimize operations and efficiency.
“Sustainability is core to the future of the aviation industry,”
said Andrew Coleman, General Manager of GE Digital’s Aviation
Software business. “Data and analytics provide a roadmap for
airlines to evaluate interactions between operational systems to
maximize sustainability. We are proud to work with Viva Air to
further their goals, and the goals of the industry, in the
region.”
