Air Serbia First to Use Advanced Software Solutions for Reduction of Carbon Emissions – Agreement Signed with Airbus and Navblue

Air Serbia signed a contract with Airbus and NAVBLUE, an Airbus Company, in Istanbul on the procurement of two advanced software solutions, which will significantly contribute to fuel savings for aircraft in the fleet of the Serbian national airline and thus to the reduction of carbon emissions.

According to the LinkedIn page of Air Serbia, the contract was signed at the Annual General Meeting of the International Air Transport Association (IATA), held in Istanbul from June 4 through 6, 2023, and Air Serbia will thus become the launch client to use this advanced technology.

– Air Serbia has been launching various initiatives aimed at reducing carbon emissions for years. We are extremely pleased that at this year's most important gathering for the aviation industry in Istanbul, we have reached an agreement with Airbus, a global leader in the field, to purchase two advanced software solutions that will be of great help to reduce our carbon emissions, but also the reduction of costs of operations – said Jiri Marek, Air Serbia CEO.

The Descent Profile Optimizer (DPO) and IDLE Factor Optimizer (IFO) programs developed by Airbus and Navblue work simultaneously, their task is to reduce fuel consumption in the aircraft to the lowest possible extent and thus to significantly reduce the carbon emission.
