Since its inception in 2006, OpenAirlines has been at the forefront of the sustainable aviation revolution. Founded on a vision to combat the aviation industry's enormous carbon footprint—nearly 1 billion tons of CO2 emitted each year, or more than 30,000 kilos every second—the company has dedicated itself to developing innovative technologies that help airlines reduce both their operational costs and environmental impact.

OpenAirlines' journey began with a singular mission: to make aviation more sustainable. Over the past 15 years, the company has grown from a bold idea into a global leader in aviation technology, boasting a team of over 80 passionate innovators. Their flagship product, SkyBreathe®, epitomizes this mission. Launched in 2013, SkyBreathe® is an advanced eco-flying solution that leverages Cloud computing, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Big Data to enhance fuel efficiency and lower carbon footprints.

SkyBreathe has not only received numerous awards for its innovation but has also been adopted by a diverse and active community of more than 60 airlines worldwide, including industry giants such as Air France, Norwegian, Cebu Pacific, flydubai, and Atlas Air.
