Flight routes, weather, fuel burn and sustainability – a lot is on pilot Fredrik Karlsson’s mind before take‑off. And at TUI, tackling these issues isn’t just done in the cockpit: some colleagues fly aircraft, others sit in the office and build digital tools – and Fredrik happens to enjoy both.

As a TUI pilot, he makes countless decisions in the cockpit every day that influence how much fuel is used. At the same time, he’s curious about the technology and data behind those decisions. “As a pilot, you’re constantly balancing safety, efficiency and operational constraints,” he says. “And every kilogram of fuel we don’t burn means less CO₂ emissions for that flight.”

“For me, this is where it all comes together,” says Fredrik. “When you have the right information at the right moment, making a more fuel‑efficient choice becomes much easier – without compromising safety.” With the TUI Operational Flight Plan App 2.0, technology doesn’t replace pilots’ judgement – it strengthens it, supporting more efficient flight operations every day.”
