MUMBAI, India, Feb. 16, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Honeywell (NYSE:
HON) has been selected by India's
Jet Airways to provide its GoDirect Fuel Efficiency software, a
part of the GoDirect Flight Services family of Connected Aircraft
technologies, to reduce fuel use and costs for the airline. The
offering provides a full range of data analysis, reporting and
monitoring tools for enhanced fuel conservation.
Honeywell's GoDirect Fuel Efficiency software analyzes data from
more than 100 reports that integrate with existing airline systems
through a user-friendly data interface. The service offers
fuel-saving recommendations, which airlines can quickly deploy into
existing or customized analytics reports and dashboards.
Honeywell's technology will also help lower carbon emissions from
international flights, in accordance with recent changes to the
Paris Agreement on reducing greenhouse gases. Existing users of the
software have reported fuel savings of more than 2 percent
annually.
"Typically, fuel consumption accounts for as much as 20 to 40
percent of an airline's operating costs," said Jason Wissink, senior sales director,
Connectivity Services, Honeywell Aerospace. "Flight efficiency
services are an important part of the global aviation industry,
helping airlines reduce costs significantly and help regulate
emissions, which India has
committed to reducing. Our GoDirect Fuel Efficiency software is
flexible enough to integrate with Jet Airways' existing aircraft
systems, enabling fast deployment and the ability to support fleet
growth."
Jet Airways joins an expanding list of global customers already
using this innovative software, including Etihad Airways, Finnair,
Japan Airlines and Turkish Airlines.
