Corsair selects Thales’ flight optimisation solution FlytOptim

Following trials, this solution has saved several hundred kilograms of fuel on each flight and helped avoid more than 300 tonnes of CO2 on Corsair flight routes to the West Indies and Africa.

FlytOptim is an intuitive AI-powered solution that enables pilots to optimize their vertical flight trajectory using real-time weather and aircraft data, thus enabling them to reduce their fuel consumption by 2%.

User-centric experience with no operational disruption

Designed together with pilots, FlytOptim’s intuitive design and efficient user-experience has seen an unparalleled adoption rate: after only a few weeks trial at Corsair, 80% of the flights were using FlytOptim. FlytOptim can be deployed quickly and easily, with no need to modify the aircraft or the airline’s existing IT systems.

"The trial of FlytOptim was easy to implement, and its adoption by pilots went smoothly. The fuel savings achieved are clear and easily measurable. We are delighted to deploy this solution, which fully aligns with our environmental strategy and strengthens our commitment to a greener and more sustainable aviation. Corsair aims to be a leading player in decarbonisation, having completely renewed its fleet—which is one of the youngest in the world—and continues to work on various tools to reduce its environmental impact, such as FlytOptim."
