Aviation Software Provider Targets Fuel Burn Reduction
Aviation software provider Optifly has launched Opty, an agentic artificial intelligence layer integrated across its scheduling, slot management, fleet, and network optimisation platform. The new layer aims to reduce carrier fuel burn by up to 1.0% and increase aircraft utilisation by up to 5%. In production testing, the tool identified 10 additional weekly sectors from an existing fleet assignment without requiring supplementary aircraft capital expenditure, generating an estimated revenue upside of up to €6 million. This development was first reported by Aviation Business News.
