Why Vistara Embraces SITA’s Tech Solutions: A Strategic Move Unveiled
Vistara, India’s premier full-service airline and a joint venture between the Tata Group and Singapore Airlines, has become the first Indian airline to implement both SITA eWAS and SITA OptiClimb® technologies.
By doing this, Vistara hopes to greatly increase the efficiency of flight planning and operations, reduce fuel consumption, and cut carbon emissions by 15,000 tonnes annually.
By giving pilots improved weather awareness information with the use of SITA eWAS, Vistara will be able to increase overall flight safety and effectiveness. It functions as a very efficient method of transmitting OptiClimb data.
SITA OptiClimb®, the only machine-learning solution in the sector, uses historical flight data to estimate fuel usage during the climb out and offers unique climb profile optimization for each flight.
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.
