Case Study: Ryanair saves 5-10 minutes per turn with i6 Group's digital fuel management

Ryanair saves 5-10 minutes per flight with i6 Group

The customer, Ryanair, faced the challenge of eliminating a final analog step in its aircraft turnaround process: the use of paper fuel dockets. This manual process was a bottleneck for the efficiency-focused airline, threatening its famous 25-minute turn. To solve this, Ryanair partnered with vendor i6 Group to implement its digital fuel management solution.

The solution from i6 replaced the paper-based system with a digital platform, providing real-time data and connectivity for pilots, fuelers, and suppliers. This allowed for the optimal allocation and tracking of fuel. The results were significant, saving 5-10 minutes per flight across its operation of more than 30,000 flights monthly. This efficiency protected Ryanair's crucial 25-minute turnaround time and led to savings on direct fuel costs by minimizing extra weight.
