Honeywell Forge Flight Efficiency – More Fuel Savings and More Sustainable

As carbon neutrality becomes prevalent around the world, a growing number of airlines are pledging to reach net-zero carbon emissions within the next few decades. Honeywell is on the same path and has pledged to become carbon neutral in our facilities and operations by 2035.

Recently, we announced our strengthened sustainability commitments in setting science-based targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and help customers achieve environmental, social and governance (ESG)-oriented outcomes. Our commitment also extends to applying our unique capabilities to help airlines achieve their sustainability objectives with Honeywell Forge Flight Efficiency – the industry’s leading enterprise performance management (EPM) solution for flight-data analytics.

Honeywell Forge Flight Efficiency

This EPM software solution provides a powerful platform to collect, analyze and apply fuel-consumption data to inform the decision-making process and create meaningful reports on fuel savings and environmental impact. It gathers data covering more than 1,000 parameters, validates the input and reports the results. It uses easy-to-interpret reports and graphs that are available on configurable dashboards and on the flight deck. It also informs pilots about shortcuts, optimal climb speeds, cruise altitudes and other opportunities to reduce fuel consumption.

More than 35 major airlines around the world, including Lufthansa, British Airways, Japan Airlines, Turkish Airlines, Etihad Airways, use Honeywell Forge Flight Efficiency software and have saved millions of kilograms of fuel and millions of dollars. The real-world operating experience indicates that Honeywell Forge Flight Efficiency enables fuel reductions of up to 5% and the impact of improving fuel efficiency year over year can result in $100+ million in fuel savings for a carrier with 50 tails over the course of a five-year program.

For example, Japan Airlines (JAL) is our launch airline customer in the Asia-Pacific region to implement this solution. Honeywell Forge Flight Efficiency has become an important part of JAL’s wide-ranging fuel conservation program. Honeywell leverages big data and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) to give operators like JAL the solutions they need to reduce fuel consumption, improve operational outcomes and increase profits. The Honeywell solution also provides actionable insights and alerts that can help improve an airline’s understanding of its fleet, profitability and passenger experience.
