Virgin Atlantic, Corendon Dutch Airlines and Albawings have selected Boeing’s Jeppesen FliteDeck Advisor (FDA) digital solution to optimize operational efficiency and reduce fuel consumption across their fleets of Boeing aircraft.
As a trial customer, Virgin Atlantic has already found benefits from the use of FliteDeck Advisor. During a trial on its 787 Dreamliners, the airline found that the digital solution delivered cruise fuel savings of 1.7%, saving approximately 1,900 kilograms of CO2 per flight across the three-month trial.
“We have been driving fuel and carbon efficiencies in our program for over a decade, with new essential improvements being made every year. FliteDeck Advisor is a much welcome new opportunity for our Boeing pilots to monitor and improve fuel efficiency, with great results already demonstrated in our recent three-month trial. Arming our pilots with this technology powered by operating the youngest, cleanest fleet across the Atlantic, while progressively utilising Sustainable Aviation Fuel, forms part of our overall commitment to achieving Net Zero by 2050,” said Corneel Koster, Chief Customer and Operating Officer at Virgin Atlantic.
