GE AVIATION AND SPICEJET JOIN HANDS

SpiceJet Airlines has selected GE’s Flight Efficiency Services (FES) to support its fleet of 52 Boeing 737 and Bombardier Q400 aircraft. GE will provide flight data analytics and fuel management to optimise the airline’s operational efficiency with the goal of substantially reducing fuel expenses for the airline. GE aims to help the airline reduce its annual US$ 600 million fuel bill, which is the largest cost component for airlines in India.
“India has among the highest jet fuel prices in the world,” said Alan Caslavka, president of Avionics & Digital Systems for GE Aviation. “We are excited about the partnership with SpiceJet and look forward to working with them to realise substantial savings.”
GE will provide consultation and evaluation services with the aim of reducing the airline’s fuel consumption and carbon emissions. GE is also designing and implementing custom solutions for SpiceJet and performing on-going efficiency measurements.
