SITA OptiClimb®
Cut fuel costs and carbon footprint with customized climb-out recommendations
-
Module
Airlines around the world are lowering their climb-out fuel consumption and carbon emissions by an average of 5% with the industry’s only tail-specific, machine-learning-fed, climb-out optimization solution. No other solution on the market builds tail-specific, predictive performance models, using flight data and machine learning. The models are fed with Operational Flight Plan (OFP) inputs and 4D weather forecasts, to generate fully customized tail- and flight-specific climb speeds and acceleration Flight Level recommendations.
Customize the future
Using quick access recorder (QAR) data from previous flights, SITA OptiClimb® builds a predictive performance model for each aircraft. 4D weather forecasts and operational flight plans (OFPs) are fed into the model, which computes and selects optimum climb speeds and acceleration Flight Level to maximize fuel burn reduction without compromising flight duration.
Be part of something big
Fuel savings of 5 % are possible for each flight. This could reduce annual CO2 emissions by thousands of tons and operational costs by millions of dollars. SITA estimates that the emission of 5.6m tons of CO2 could be avoided annually if all airlines worldwide use SITA OptiClimb®.
Never stop optimizing
With SITA OptiClimb®, optimization never stops. If there is a last-minute change, such as to the planned aircraft weight, the system can send updated climb-out recommendations. What’s more, after the flight, actual fuel consumed is compared with predictions to report on savings and update the machine-learning model.

Within Aerologic, sustainable operations is a priority for all. We are excited to innovate with SITA OptiClimb, a unique solution that empowers our pilots to further contribute to more efficient and greener operations.
Using SITA OptiFlight®, and with it being a simple-to-use solution, there has been very positive feedback from pilots and today we have a steady application rate of over 85 percent rising in some months to 91-92 percent. This is very good, having the pilots believing in the value of the solution.
Viva Aerobus saw an outstanding application rate for SITA OptiClimb® of 83%. We reached an average of 71kg of fuel saved per climb compared to the standard climb profile at the time. That was why the decision was quite easy and why Viva Aerobus was very comfortable moving forward with the solution.
