AVTECH expands program with Etihad Airways on trialing the Aventus Nowcast descent winds product


AVTECH Sweden AB (publ), today announced that AVTECH and Etihad Airways have
agreed to expand the trial of the Aventus NowCast Descent Winds service
(“Aventus”) from three destinations to Etihad Airways’ full network.

Aventus NowCast is a software system that uses atmospheric modeling and weather
information to create high resolution wind models and data packages for the
different segments of a flight, creating beneficial fuel and emissions savings
for the airline. The airline also benefits as a result of increased efficiency
and punctuality of individual flights and of the air transport system as a
whole.

The expansion of the program will build on the benefits already realized during
the original two-month analysis for Etihad Airways.

Jonas Saric, AVTECH’s Business Unit Director Aventus NowCast, said: “For AVTECH
it is exciting to deploy Aventus on six continents with Africa, South America
and Asia joining the detailed wind-grid network that forms the basis for our
product. The extension of the trial provides a vital opportunity to demonstrate
the efficiency of our product in achieving fuel saving for Etihad Airways.”

Sander de Moor, Etihad Airways’ Senior Manager for Fuel Efficiency said: “Fuel
efficiency remains a key priority for Etihad Airways and we continue to explore
all available options and technologies to drive further savings. We are
optimistic that the expansion of the trial across our network and working with
AVTECH will help us achieve our objectives.”
