Watch: How flight path optimization started

Pierre, our Head of Analytics and Data Intelligence, shares a story of how one question changed the way we think about flight optimization.

“Can we optimize the climb?”

That curiosity ignited a data-driven journey into flight optimization, leading to powerful insights, AI-powered models, and real fuel savings.

In this video, see how a small team of experts came together, demonstrated what’s possible, and scaled their vision with SITA. Today, over 40 airlines benefit, and we’re just getting started.

Watch: How the team of data scientist make flight path optimization a reality

Flight optimization isn’t just about AI or infrastructure; it’s about the people who bring it to life!

In this video, meet the teams making it all work: data scientists modeling real aircraft behavior, infrastructure engineers scaling systems for global fleets, and operations experts adapting it to each airline’s needs.

Together, they’re making aviation smarter, safer, and more efficient – flight by flight.

Read: what our customers say about it

Emmanuel from Transavia and Laurent from Air France share their experience.

“The question ‘Can we optimize climb?’ got us curious. We wanted to see what would happen. And what we found surprised us…none of our aircraft flew the same way, and the fuel we were wasting was impossible to ignore. That’s when we realized: this wasn’t just about the climb. It was the beginning of a revolutionary way to optimize every phase of flight, starting with the aircraft’s own data.”

 

— Emmanuel Cachia, Captain Instructor, Operations Referent Pilot, Transavia France

At Air France, improving fuel efficiency has always been part of our DNA. What truly makes SITA stand out is not just the power of their optimization technology, but the people behind it. From takeoff to landing, they helped us go further in optimizing every flight. It’s a partnership built on expertise, trust, and a shared ambition to reduce CO2 emissions.”
