It is designed to combine flight data with flight plans and find important insight to assist boost aircraft fuel efficiency and cutting down waste using GE Digital's sophisticated aviation data and analytics platform. Fuel Insight is designed to give operators actionable intelligence at multiple levels allowing analysts to drill down from macro trends to understand issues on a per-flight level.

Fuel Insight is a software program that creates fuel-saving dashboards with real-time data for examination. Alliance Airlines' personnel can immediately spot trends and anomalies in data that they previously didn't have access. Because of the automated dashboards, the number of resources required to conduct the analysis will be reduced, and the time to results will be shortened.

“We are looking forward to expanding our long-term partnership with Alliance Airlines and working to ensure we harness the wealth of insights that come from flight data to lower the airline’s CO2 footprint while raising flight efficiency,” said Andrew Coleman, General Manager of GE Digital’s Aviation Software business. “Alliance is on a full climb and solutions like Fuel Insight and Safety Insight can help manage that growth and meet their business goals. We are proud to stand as Alliance Airlines’ wing mate.”
