ROLLE, Switzerland,
Oct. 6, 2016 /PRNewswire/
-- Honeywell (NYSE: HON) has been selected by Turkish Airlines
to provide its Fuel Efficiency software, part of Honeywell's
GoDirect suite of connected aircraft services, to reduce fuel use
and associated costs. The software solution provides the airline
with instant analytics and recommendations on an airplane's current
fuel consumption and ways to save fuel.
Honeywell's software, which was acquired through the acquisition
of Aviaso in 2015, includes more than 100 ready-made analysis
reports and integrates with existing airline computer systems
through a user-friendly data interface. Airlines can quickly deploy
the solution and use existing or customized reports and dashboards
to monitor and communicate progress of fuel-saving efforts. The
software also rigorously monitors a variety of possible fuel-saving
initiatives for each flight while providing comprehensive reports
to guarantee full compliance with the European Union Emissions
Trading System legislation.
"Powerful fuel-management software is key for airlines such as
Turkish Airlines that are looking to take their fuel-efficiency
programs to the next level," said Jason
Wissink, senior sales director, Connected Aircraft,
Honeywell Aerospace. "Honeywell's Fuel Efficiency software is
flexible enough to integrate with many different data sources to
support fast deployments and ensure airlines are well-equipped to
handle future fleet growth."
"We see huge potential in using technology to monitor and
measure flight operations and discover news ways to improve
efficiency," said Fatih Kacmaz, senior vice president, Integrated
Operations Control at Turkish Airlines. "In fact, one of our key
business pillars is to use the most sophisticated technologies in
daily operations."
"Turkish Airlines is committed to investing in the latest
technologies in all areas of operations to improve operational
efficiency," said Resat Gunduz,
operational fuel manager at Turkish Airlines. "We are currently
implementing the best industry practices to enhance our fuel
efficiency program, and Honeywell's Fuel Efficiency software is one
of them."
