New Swedish technology to support a greener aviation recovery
Flying is like competition sailing: it is all about using good winds and avoiding unfavorable air currents. To allow airlines to fully use the favorable winds there is a new weather optimization service available that shows exactly how the wind blows and where there is bad weather in the atmosphere. With this knowledge airlines can save hundreds of tons of fuel per month which also means less emissions The best feature of the new optimisation service, delivered by AVTECH Sweden, is that airli...
