SIA selects SITA OptiClimb to achieve carbon neutrality

Singapore Airlines (SIA) selected SITA OptiClimb, a digital inflight prescriptive analytics tool for fuel optimisation, to support the carrier’s goal of achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. By deploying SITA OptiClimb, the airline is able to optimise fuel utilization during the aircraft’s climb-out phase. The solution combines aircraft tail-specific machinelearning models with 4D weather forecasts to recommend customised climb speeds at different altitudes. It leverages historical flight data to predict fuel burn in different flight scenarios and recommends optimized climb profiles on a user-friendly interface for pilots. As per an official release, “The airlines can roughly save fuel up to 5% during climb-out on each flight with 5.6 mn tons of CO2 emissions.”
