Breeze Airways enhances meteorology data partnership
Breeze Airways has partnered with The Weather Company to leverage its Fusion global weather and flight tracking solution.
Fusion will provide Breeze with the critical information it needs for proactive decision making to help improve safety, reduce diversions and increase comfort for its passengers and crew.
Using industry-leading data science, meteorological expertise and technology, The Weather Company helps a majority of North American commercial airlines and many others globally integrate weather data into daily operations for real-time decision making. Pairing historical airport operations data with superior weather forecasts will improve Breeze’s visualisation of airport congestion, taxi delays and runway configurations.
This enables Breeze to predict arrival and departure capabilities and procedures more intelligently, thus improving decisions around operations and safety.
“As we continue to expand our airline’s network over the coming months and years, it’s critical to deploy key technology solutions to ensure operational teams are equipped with the right tools to make efficient operational decisions, all whilst bolstering a commitment to guest and crew safety,” said Travis Yost, vice president of Breeze’s Operations Control Center.
“The Weather Company is an essential partner, providing a clearer picture of weather’s impact at the gate, as well as en-route hazards like turbulence. Together, we seek to deliver a world-class travel experience for customers through optimised, operational efficiencies and enhanced overall flight safety.”
“As increasingly severe conditions continue to keep weather top of mind, it’s critical for airlines to utilise reliable, trusted weather forecasts, along with the best possible human expertise,” said Ravi Vanmali, head of aviation for The Weather Company.
“Innovative airlines like Breeze are using advanced flight planning and predictive analytics to better understand disruptive situations and their impacts ahead of time to help minimize or even avoid them. This ultimately helps improve passenger safety and comfort, reduces fuel consumption, and saves time and money.”
