Singapore Airlines deploys SITA OptiClimb to help net-zero goals
Singapore Airlines has tapped SITA to support its goal of achieving net-zero carbon emissions
It selected SITA OptiClimb, a digital inflight prescriptive analytics tool for fuel optimisation.
By deploying SITA OptiClimb the airline can optimise fuel utilisation during the aircraft’s climb-out phase.
The tool combines aircraft tail-specific machine-learning models with 4D weather forecasts to recommend climb speeds at different altitudes.
It leverages historical flight data to predict fuel burn in different flight scenarios and recommends optimised climb profiles.
It is estimated that airlines can derive fuel savings of up to 5% during climb-out on each flight, with around 5.6 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions avoided annually.
Following a successful test period and validation of SITA OptiClimb , the tool has been used on Singapore Airlines’ Airbus A350 fleet since August 2022.
SITA has calculated that the solution will help the carrier cut aircraft carbon emissions by up to 15,000 tons annually.
Captain Quay Chew Eng, Senior Vice President of Flight Operations, Singapore Airlines, said: ” SITA OptiClimb utilises advanced analytics to support us. We will continue to look for innovative solutions to reduce our carbon footprint.”
The International Air Transport Association (IATA) expects the cumulative volume of aviation carbon emissions between 2021 and 2050 to be approximately 21.2 gigatons of carbon dioxide if left unabated.
