Air India Rolls Out SITA Flight-Optimization Tools Across A320s and 737s

The Tata-owned carrier pegs yearly savings at about 11,100 tonnes of fuel, with 35,000 tonnes of CO2 avoided, placing the step within its Vihaan.AI transformation.

Overview

  • The deployment is live on Air India’s A320 fleet and Air India Express 737s on domestic and international routes, with widebody integration planned.
  • OptiFlight’s OptiClimb tailors climb profiles using historical performance data, aircraft-specific models, and 4D weather to cut fuel burn during take-off.
  • eWAS delivers real-time and predictive weather intelligence to help pilots avoid turbulence and select more efficient routings.
  • Air India’s projected savings of roughly 11,100 tonnes of fuel and 35,000 tonnes of CO2 per year are company estimates with no independent verification reported.
  • SITA frames the move as part of a wider push to equip Indian airlines with digital tools for operational resilience, cost control, and lower environmental impact.
