Malaysia Airlines has implemented various initiatives including
efficiency measures, investments in sustainability solutions, and
waste reduction across its operations to address sustainability
goals. The fuel efficiency program has been running for more than a
decade, contributing to a 15% fuel burn improvement recorded over
the past eight years. Data analytics has been a cornerstone of the
program with various improvements made in systems infrastructure
and capabilities. As a part of this focus, the airline embraces
technologies by GE Digital to facilitate efficient and
digitally-connected operations.
Fuel Insight is a cost and emissions monitoring solution that
works by understanding data from the aircraft to uncover valuable
intelligence that help increase fuel efficiency and reduce waste.
The software uses GE Digital’s Event Measurement System (EMS)
aviation data and analytics platform to merge flight data with
flight plans, load sheets and fuel uplift data, identify the most
attainable fuel savings opportunities, and track the incremental
savings across the operation. Fuel Insight gives operators
actionable intelligence at multiple levels allowing analysts to
drill down macro trends to understand issues on a per-flight
level.
FlightPulse puts data directly into the hands of pilots,
allowing them to visualize their savings over time. Pilots who
understand their own performance can adjust their flight plans to
maximize safety and fuel efficiency. Secure benchmarking and data
sharing lets crew members see their contribution to projects and
dramatically shortens the feedback loop.
Group Operations Officer of Malaysia Airlines, Ahmad Luqman Mohd
Azmi said, “Advocating sustainability in all of our operations has
always been the primary goal for Malaysia Airlines. We look forward
to such collaboration that contributes to the airline’s efforts to
accelerate our sustainability goals. Digitalization is a core
component of our Long Term Business Plan and we have seen how these
efforts bring immediate value especially in the area of fuel
efficiency. Through these solutions, we seek to play a greater part
in building a legacy for future generations and enhancing our own
airline’s sustainability efforts.”
Malaysia Airlines evaluated the software with an extensive team
of pilots, dispatchers, and analysts who endorsed the software
solution, which is hosted on GE Digital’s EMS Platform. EMS is
built on the Microsoft Azure cloud platform providing compute,
data, and security services.
Additionally, GE Digital provides the tools for Malaysia
Airlines to build their own big data analytics and leverage modern
tools for data analysis including AI/Machine Learning. These
analytics can be leveraged by pilots to make informed fuel
decisions and departure briefings before flight and secure access
to data from the pilot’s personal flight history, allowing them to
analyze their aircraft operation with their peers and discover
areas to optimize operations and efficiency for future flights.
“GE is committed to environmental excellence and that includes
ensuring that our customers are empowered to reduce the impact of
their technology and environmental footprint within their
operations,” said Andrew Coleman, General Manager of GE Digital’s
Aviation Software business. “These solutions will help Malaysia
Airlines to leverage software to improve efficiency and reduce
carbon emissions.”
The solution, which is easily configured and deployed, will be
implemented by the GE Digital Aviation Software teams in Austin,
Texas and Shanghai, China.
