Air France joins the large community of airlines adopting SkyBreathe® to improve their fuel efficiency, including Norwegian, Malaysia Airlines, Cebu Pacific, GoAir, Atlas Air and a number of other leading airlines.
Since 1933, Air France has been promoting and highlighting France throughout the world. With an activity divided between passenger transport, cargo transport and aeronautical maintenance, Air France is a major air transport player. More than 45,000 staff that make up its workforce are committed on a daily basis to offering each customer a unique travel experience.
Air France is part of Air France-KLM, the leading air transport group in terms of international traffic on departure from Europe . With its three brands Air France, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines and Transavia, the Group covers a network of 312 destinations in 116 countries and notably relies on its powerful hubs at Paris -Charles de Gaulle and Amsterdam-Schiphol. Its Flying Blue frequent flyer programme has over 17 million members. Air France and KLM are members of the SkyTeam alliance. With their partners Delta Air Lines and Alitalia, they operate the biggest trans-Atlantic joint venture.
Air France has set itself ambitious sustainable development objectives and is working to reduce and offset its CO2 emissions. As part of the Horizon 2030 programme, the company is committed to reducing its CO2 emissions per passenger/km by 50% between now and 2030 thanks to the integration of new-generation aircraft into its fleet, eco-piloting innovations and the progressive use of biofuels. Since
1st January 2020 , Air France has been offsetting 100% of emissions on its domestic flights.
Based on the observation that every year, nearly 660 million tons of CO2 are emitted by airplanes in the world - representing 20,000kg of CO2 per second, OpenAirlines decided to act by developing innovative solutions to help airlines reduce their costs and environmental impact.
Created in Toulouse in 2006, OpenAirlines has drawn on 7 years of R&D before launching its eco-flying software SkyBreathe®. Relying on big data algorithms, artificial intelligence, and machine learning, the software automatically analyzes the large sum of data available in aircraft black boxes to provide recommendations to airlines and pilots that help them reduce their fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
Today, SkyBreathe® is the most widely used eco-flying solution in the world. Its active community federates more than 42 airlines across the planet, including Transavia, Malaysia Airlines, Norwegian, Cebu Pacific, flydubai, and Atlas Air.
In 2019, its customers saved more than 150 million USD and 590,000 tons of CO2.
