OpenAirlines, a Toulouse company founded in 2006, makes SkyBreathe, software that analyses flight data to help airlines and pilots burn less fuel.
With more than 75 staff and over 45 million euros raised, it sells SkyBreathe Analytics for fuel analysts, MyFuelCoach, which gives pilots personal feedback, an onboard version, trajectory analysis and an aircraft performance monitor for maintenance teams.
Viva Aerobus and VietJet use SkyBreathe. The company's claims of 3 to 5 per cent fuel savings across more than 60 airlines have not been independently verified.
The core analytics module of the SkyBreathe 360 eco-flying platform. A Big Data and AI-driven fuel management software for airline fuel analysts that monitors fuel performance, uncovers saving opportunities, and generates actionable insights across the full flight operation.
The problem it addresses
Fuel analysts lack a unified, automated tool to monitor fuel KPIs across the full flight cycle, identify savings potential, benchmark against peer airlines, and share insights with stakeholders across the airline.

An EFB (Electronic Flight Bag) tool for cockpit use that provides live, real-time fuel-saving recommendations to pilots during flight. Uses AI, historical data, and real-time flight constraints to suggest fuel-saving actions including short approaches and direct route opportunities.
The problem it addresses
Pilots have limited access to real-time, contextually relevant fuel-saving guidance during flight without adding workload, existing solutions only provide post-flight analysis.
Key features
Live fuel-saving recommendations during flight
Direct Assistant, timely in-flight notifications for shortcut route opportunities
Recommendations based on most ATC-granted direct routes for time and fuel savings
Short approach detection and recommendations

An automated Aircraft Performance Monitoring solution for maintenance engineers. Provides daily monitoring of aircraft performance factors across the full fleet to identify degradation, understand root causes, and support proactive maintenance decisions that improve fuel efficiency.
The problem it addresses
Maintenance teams lack an automated, fleet-wide aircraft performance monitoring tool, relying instead on manual or fragmented processes that delay detection of performance deterioration affecting fuel consumption.
Key features
Daily automated monitoring of aircraft performance factor across entire fleet
Support for all aircraft types in a single tool
Notifications for unusual performance deterioration
Root cause analysis for performance issues
2 more features
Anticipate maintenance needs to reduce fuel consumption
