Air Serbia announced today that it has established a mobile application of the “SkyBreathe” program for monitoring and controlling fuel consumption, intended for its flight crew, with the aim of protecting the environment.
As stated, the mobile application provides Air Serbia pilots with an insight into all flights they have performed, with the possibility of analyzing each phase of the flight, comparing deviations between implementation and plan, as well as monitoring the success of implemented initiatives that contribute to reducing emissions.
Air Serbia CEO Duncan Naismith said that caring for the environment is an integral part of the company’s daily business, and that the initiatives it launches are paying off.
“During 2019, we managed to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by almost 3,000 tons. Our pilots are most responsible for reducing fuel consumption because procedures with this goal are mostly taken during the summer, while the use of mobile applications will further enhance the optimization process and we are happy every new step towards a more sustainable future for the aviation industry,” Naismith said.
Air Serbia has been actively participating in the EU ETS process since 2013, which includes monitoring carbon dioxide emissions in the European Union, and since 2019 in the Scheme for Compensation and Reduction of Carbon Emissions in International Aviation (CORSIA) of the International Civil Aviation Organization.
In early October 2020, Air Serbia became part of the community of users of the “SkyBreathe” system and joined the world’s airlines that use this special software intended for environmental protection, it was stated in the announcement, Novi Magazin reports.
