German leisure airline Condor is making significant enhancements to fuel optimization through the deployment of eWAS<\/a> to more than 700 pilots and dispatchers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The signing with SITA\u2019s aircraft domain of expertise \u2013 which\nincludes the provision of eWAS Pilot and eWAS Dispatch applications \u2013 brings\nseveral major benefits for the popular holiday airline. As severe weather\nevents become more frequent and intense, eWAS Pilot delivers both forecasts and\nsatellite-based observation data, enabling Condor\u2019s crews to avoid the\navoidable and create more economic, intelligent, and flexible flight plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through enhanced route optimization, Condor is further\nensuring the safety and wellbeing of its passengers, pilots, and crews, as well\nas addressing demands to lessen environmental impact, by reducing unnecessary\nfuel consumption and limiting turnaround times, achieving significant fuel- and\ncost-savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

eWAS Dispatch, which has been developed in collaboration\nwith dispatchers themselves, will improve workflow by providing the same,\nreal-time, graphically optimized view and information as pilots, enhancing\nprocesses and collaboration across dispatch and cockpit teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christian Schmitt, Managing Director Operations of Condor,\nsays: \u201cAt Condor, our focus has always been delivering on the promise of\nquality to our passengers and ensuring the highest safety standards for\ncustomers, crews and pilots. As an existing SITA customer, its aircraft\ncommunications technology has enabled us to collaborate more efficiently.\nTaking this next step in our partnership enables us to further enhance our\noperations and increase fuel economy, reflecting our strong emphasis on\necological responsibility.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stephan Egli, Commercial VP Europe, Middle East &\nAfrica, SITA FOR AIRCRAFT, comments: \u201cThe expectation for real-time data flow\nis growing rapidly, with a host of changing mandates and regulations to ensure\nthat flying is safer and more sustainable than ever. Alongside this, we want to\nenable our airline customers to provide real passenger satisfaction and\noptimize costs wherever possible. We\u2019re pleased to continue our work with\nCondor to transform its optimization plans into reality and help them achieve\nthis.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The announcement comes just months after SITA\u2019s acquisition<\/a> of GTD Air Services \u2013 its collaborative partner in the development of the eWAS portfolio \u2013 which seeks to help airlines embrace a digital shift, making flying safer, more efficient, enjoyable and sustainable. The move is set to accelerate SITA\u2019s existing Digital Day of Operations application portfolio, reinventing the operation of aircraft, flights, and the passenger experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Florent Birling, Head of eWAS Portfolio, SITA FOR AIRCRAFT,\nadds: \u201cWe\u2019re excited to enable Condor to stay ahead in the post-COVID-19\nenvironment by deploying new solutions for their pilots and dispatchers. We are\nfurther developing our flight efficiency and green operation solutions to allow\nairlines to reduce their cost and CO2 footprint.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
