With Liberator's expertise, airlines can do more to manage fuel costs and reduce emissions
With the current credit crunch, volatile exchange rates and fluctuating fuel prices, airlines need to do everything within their control to manage fuel consumption and reduce associated costs and emissions.
Dublin based Liberator.aero has signed a 3 year deal with Asia's award winning boutique airline Bangkok Airways for the provision of Liberator's LFI Fuel Savings Programme. Bangkok Airways, having won Asia's Best Regional Airline award every year since 2004, has adopted a proactive approach to managing its growing operations with an emphasis on cost management and fuel conservation. Liberator's timely introduction of its CO2 Emissions measurement module as part of its Fuel Management Programme will provide Bangkok Airways with a clear, auditable facility to comprehensively measure CO2 emissions per flight and per 100 passenger kilometer.
Bangkok Airways operates scheduled services to 20 destinations in Thailand, Cambodia, China, Japan, Laos, Maldives, Myanmar, Singapore and Vietnam with a mixed fleet of Airbus, Boeing and ATR aircraft from its base in Thailand.
Liberator has developed its fuel savings programme for airlines using its own innovative performance measurement technology and expert operational knowledge delivered by the highly experienced Liberator crew. Savings of 2% of the annual fuel bill are targeted through focussing on better loading efficiency.
According to Liberator's Joint Managing Director Kevin Pryor, "Fluctuating fuel costs represents the single biggest commercial challenge to airlines. Huge effort is invested in reducing fuel burn with initiatives including air traffic management, continuous descent, single engine taxi and weight reduction. Liberator offers an added dimension in the quest for reducing fuel burn by up to 2% and we are delighted to be working with such an innovative airline as Bangkok Airways in their focus to improve efficiency and reduce costs".
Capt. Puttipong Prasarttong-Osoth, CEO of Bangkok Airways says "Using Liberator Fuel Index as the compass, we can reach our fuel saving destination in no-time".
