ITA Airways adopts GE Aerospace Fuel Insight and FlightPulse

GE Aerospace announced that ITA Airways has signed an agreement to implement Fuel Insight and FlightPulse, two GE Aerospace, Software as a Service (SaaS) solutions designed to help airlines turn data into actionable insight. The announcement was marked by a signing at the Farnborough International Airshow. Amid persistent fuel-cost pressure, airlines are turning to analytics to better understand drivers and make more informed choices. With Fuel Insight and FlightPulse, ITA Airways will be able to align operational insights with pilot decision-making to help deliver improvements in fuel efficiency and performance more consistently on every flight. “Fuel is one of the aviation industry’s most significant cost points but also represents one of the biggest opportunities for improvement with the right insights to inform flight operations”, said Andrew Coleman, President and General Manager, GE Aerospace, Software as a Service. “By adopting Fuel Insight and FlightPulse, ITA Airways is strengthening its ability to make data driven decisions, from understanding performance drivers to identifying opportunities and tracking progress. We’re excited to support ITA’s teams with software purpose-built for their airline operations.” Fuel Insight is a fuel analytics solution that supports airlines in monitoring fuel performance and acting on insights across teams such as flight operations, dispatch, and fuel management. Fuel Insight also works with GE Aerospace’s EMS, providing an added layer of connectivity between analytics and airline workflows. FlightPulse extends GE Aerospace’s analytics capabilities by enabling airlines to use flight data to better understand patterns, trends, and opportunities that can support day-to-day decision-making. Together, Fuel Insight and FlightPulse help teams move from data collection to data-driven action by delivering accessible insights that can be used to inform priorities and measure progress. Across GE Aerospace, SaaS deployments, FlightPulse and Fuel solutions have been associated with approximately 15% higher adoption of fuel-saving procedures and approximately 20% higher success rates for sustainability procedures. In the first year of use, programs have averaged about 5.71M CO2 emissions avoided and 1.88M kg of fuel saved. Austrian Airlines selects GE Aerospace FlightPulse GE Aerospace today announced that Austrian Airlines, part of the Lufthansa Group, has signed for FlightPulse, a GE Aerospace, Software as a Service (SaaS) mobile application that connects operational flight data directly to pilot decision-making before and after each flight. Austrian Airlines is a long-standing GE Aerospace customer for Safety Insight and Fuel Insight, using GE Aerospace’s EMS platform to process flight data analytics today. With FlightPulse, Austrian Airlines can extend the value of those insights beyond historical reports by integrating flight-specific feedback into pilot workflows to support more informed decision-making in the cockpit. “Airlines have a wealth of flight data available today, and we commend the team at Austrian Airlines for wanting to get valuable insights directly into the hands of the pilots at the point of decision,” said Andrew Coleman, President and General Manager, GE Aerospace, Software as a Service. “Austrian Airlines knows the value of flight data analytics powered by the EMS platform. By adopting FlightPulse, they are broadening access to fight-specific insights, helping pilots make more calculated choices aligned with safety, fuel awareness, and sustainability objectives.” “This signing reinforces our focus on giving pilots access to practical insights they can use before and after each flight,” said Oliver Cantele, Capt. and Project Lead, Austrian Airlines/Lufthansa Group. “We already see how powerful flight data is through the analytics we process using GE Aerospace’s EMS platform. With FlightPulse, that insight becomes available to pilots in a more direct way, supporting decisions tied to safety, fuel-saving procedures, and our sustainability goals.” For Editorial Inquiries Contact: Editor Matt Driskill at [email protected] For Advertising Inquiries Contact: Head of Sales Sally Passey at [email protected]
