Airlines turn to AI to save fuel; IndiGo to start trials for thriftier take-offs from today
Summary
IndiGo is beginning trials of SITA’s OptiClimb solution to optimize aircraft climb profiles and reduce fuel burn. The airline expects the AI tool to save about 60–65 kg of fuel per takeoff and lower emissions at the same time. The trial will run on its Airbus fleet, and the airline will decide later whether to make the system a permanent feature. The story highlights how airlines are using AI and performance analytics to squeeze out incremental efficiency gains while improving sustainability.
