Air Premia introduces GE Aerospace Software Solution to reduce emissions and improve safety

• Introduction of Fuel Insight, Safety Insight, and FlightPulse®
• Could improve fuel efficiency by 1.4% and reduce carbon emissions by 5,916 tons annually 

SEOUL, South Korea, Sept. 3, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Hybrid airline company, Air Premia (CEO Yoo Myung-seop) announced on September 2nd that it has introduced GE Aerospace's integrated software solution to help reduce carbon emissions and improve operational efficiency and safety.

The integrated systems include three software programs: Fuel Insight, Safety Insight, and the FlightPulse® app.

Fuel Insight uses GE Aerospace's Event Measurement System (EMS) to identify optimal opportunities to improve fuel efficiency throughout the entire aircraft operation phase. This system can improve fuel efficiency by 1.4% per year, which would reduce carbon emissions by 5,916 tons based on Air Premia's current operations.

Safety Insight is a service-based software solution that analyzes data received from aircraft to help identify potential risks and enhance the overall safety in operations.

FlightPulse® is a fully configurable, modular Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) software application that provides pilots with data on fuel efficiency and flight safety analyzed by Fuel Insight and Safety Insight directly. Pilots can gain valuable insights from the secure app by understanding fuel impacts and operational changes while becoming more familiar with potential threats and events to enhance flight safety and efficiency.

Haejihn Lim, head of Air Premia's Flight Operations Engineering team, remarked, "Air Premia is the first airline in South Korea to introduce GE Aerospace's integrated software solution with FlightPulse®, Safety Insight, and Fuel Insight." He added, "Introducing this integrated solution will provide key insights to help reduce emissions and drive the airline's overall sustainability goals."
