FSS Flight Planning

The global aviation industry is notorious for its massive contribution to greenhouse emissions – a typical Boeing 747 jet consumes two hundred and forty thousand liters of jet fuel and burns through a rate of four-liter per second. This is why flying is highly energy-intensive and dreadful for the environment. The carbon dioxide emissions of a single flight are equivalent to that of a person over a year, at an alarmingly high rate.

The aviation industry’s impact has been a typical concern of environmentalists, who are now demanding governments and private agencies develop sustainable alternatives and solutions that help mitigate the climate crisis. A company in Europe’s aviation domain that is actively addressing the challenges associated with the industry apropos of emissions is FSS Flight Planning. The Austria-based software specialist offers flight planning software that enables aviation companies to reduce their carbon footprint, improve operational efficiency, and become environmentally sustainable.

Founded in 2013, FSS Flight Planning has a team of seasoned experts – dispatchers, airline pilots, and IT specialists – who collaborate to develop state-of-the-art technologies and help clients foster sustainability in their routine operations. Leveraging over a decade of experience, FSS Flight Planning has developed a sophisticated yet simple-to-use flight planning solution that enhances airlines’ efficiency and enables them to support their flight dispatch team by generating optimum routines. The solution takes into consideration real-time weather, navigation, and performance data.

The platform, FSS Flight Planner, enables users to optimize their routines concerning the total cost, flying time, and fuel consumption, developing a future-ready and fail-safe software for an efficient and sustainable airline operation. FSS Flight Planning combines a modern user interface with power systems at a highly competitive price. The flight planner comprehensively covers every aspect of flight planning – from take-off to landing – and enables users to holistically oversee their operations under the same pane of glass. The standard version of the bespoke flight planner is adorned with automated NOTAM filtering and checking functionalities, dynamic suitability monitoring features for aerodromes, in-flight re-dispatch capability for airspace closure, and industrial standard ARNIC 633 output data for EFB integration.

FSS Flight Planning directly integrates data from multiple sources into the flight planner, driving operational safety, stability, and efficiency for flight dispatchers and airlines. The company utilizes specific customer aircraft databases to modify the platform for particular aircraft, their unique characteristics, and cost-index. The flight planner streamlines critical information, such as equal-time points, EDTO, depressurization/ engine-out computations, drift-down contingencies, etc., and improves the interdepartmental flow of information. Apart from these innovative features, the FSS flight planner is adorned with automation capabilities, empowering airline companies to automate routine operations while focusing their resources on critically essential activities.

The flight planner automatically plans dynamic speed schedules and fuel policies and executes airport security checks. The pilots can review their briefing packages via the FSS Web-briefing application from their smartphones or tablets. The planner caters to airlines and operators and varying sizes, helping them improve their departmental productivity and save time. Owing to such customer-centric platforms, FSS Flight Planning has formed strong alliances with several industry behemoths, rendering them its platform and enabling them to transform their businesses. Looking forward, it is evident that the company will fly high in the aviation domain and execute the paradigm shift required to transform the industry into a more sustainable one.
