Summary: Skyconseil and APiJET have joined forces to integrate Digital Winglets™ flight path optimization into the Guidor™ Weather Intelligence platform, delivering real-time, actionable insights to airlines. This collaboration enhances operational efficiency, reduces fuel consumption, and supports decarbonization efforts by empowering pilots and dispatchers with advanced tools to adapt flight trajectories dynamically.

SEATTLE, WA, UNITED STATES — A new partnership between Skyconseil, the developer of the pilot-centric Guidor™ Weather Intelligence application, and APiJET, the innovator behind Digital Winglets™ flight path optimization, promises to redefine inflight decision-making for airlines. Announced on April 4, 2025, this integration merges real-time weather data with sophisticated route optimization, offering a robust solution to improve safety, cut operational costs, and advance sustainability goals.

“We are excited to partner with APiJET to bring a powerful combination of weather intelligence and flight path optimization to the aviation industry.” — Arnaud Setien, CEO, Skyconseil

Guidor™, already a trusted tool among airlines like British Airways, provides pilots with detailed, real-time weather intelligence. By incorporating APiJET’s Digital Winglets™, which leverages NASA’s TASAR technology alongside proprietary algorithms and live aircraft data, the platform now enables dynamic flight path adjustments. These adjustments—whether vertical, lateral, or combined—account for weather disruptions, restricted airspace, and traffic conflicts, optimizing fuel use and reducing carbon emissions.

Arnaud Setien, CEO of Skyconseil, emphasized the partnership’s potential: “We are excited to partner with APiJET to bring a powerful combination of weather intelligence and flight path optimization to the aviation industry. This collaboration takes Guidor™ even further—offering airlines a powerful, integrated solution to boost operational resilience, reduce costs, and support sustainability initiatives.” Similarly, Rob Green, CEO of APiJET, highlighted the synergy: “Guidor™ is an impressive, fully extensible, real-time weather solution. Together, we can make flight more intelligent and efficient.”

The collaboration will debut with a joint implementation at a major European carrier later this year, building on APiJET’s recent $4.5M FAA grant to expand Digital Winglets™ globally. For airlines already navigating SAF adoption, this integration offers a complementary lever to enhance efficiency and meet stringent emissions targets.
