Akasa Air has entered into a strategic partnership with OpenAirlines to deploy SkyBreathe, the latter’s flagship eco-flying platform aimed at optimizing fuel use, cutting emissions, and improving operational efficiency across the airline’s network. Akasa says the collaboration is part of its broader sustainability strategy and commitment to data-driven performance.
SkyBreathe is a 360° analytical platform that leverages flight data and algorithmic models to identify fuel-saving opportunities without requiring physical modifications to aircraft. OpenAirlines claims the tool can reduce fuel consumption by up to 5%, which translates to significant cost savings and emissions avoidance.
For Akasa, which operates a fleet of Boeing 737 MAX aircraft, the platform provides a granular, continuous insight loop, enabling pilots, dispatch, maintenance, and performance teams to collaborate on fuel-efficiency actions.
Belson Coutinho, Co-Founder & COO of Akasa Air, remarked, as noted by ET Hospitality:
“By leveraging SkyBreathe’s advanced analytics, Akasa will have access to deeper insights into our operations and unlock meaningful opportunities to optimize fuel use and emissions.”
Alexandre Feray, CEO of OpenAirlines, added that Akasa’s adoption strengthens the global SkyBreathe community, enabling peer benchmarking and smarter standards across users.
This partnership underscores Akasa Air’s commitment to smarter, sustainable growth by combining data-driven efficiency with eco-conscious operations.
