Signol is a behaviour change platform that helps airlines reduce fuel burn and carbon emissions by motivating pilots to adopt more fuel-efficient practices, with no additional hardware, retrofitting, or disruption to existing operations.

The platform is a two-part solution for both pilots and fuel efficiency managers. Pilots receive personalised performance reports and individually-tailored goals that drive measurable improvements in actions such as reduced engine taxi, continuous descent, optimal fuel loading, and idle reverse thrust. Managers get a dedicated dashboard to monitor company-wide behavioural trends, track fuel and CO₂ savings, and identify where interventions are having the most impact. Pilot data is kept anonymised throughout to protect individual privacy.

Signol manages a continuous process of behaviour change: assessing individual pilot performance against fair, contextualised baselines, engaging crew through 18 proven behavioural science techniques, and learning from the data to sustain improvement over time. The approach is designed to respect pilot professional judgement and autonomy, in line with IFALPA guidance on pilot self-assessment systems, and has been recognised by BALPA as an improvement over traditional fleet benchmarking methods.

Results are consistent and measurable. At Virgin Atlantic, Signol avoided 39,400 tonnes of CO₂ and saved 12,479 tonnes of fuel. Critically, these savings are incremental, achieved on top of whatever fuel efficiency measures an airline already has in place and driven purely by changes in pilot behaviour rather than new technology, infrastructure, or process. Signol consistently delivers 10x ROI.

Unlike broader fuel efficiency software suites covering flight planning, engine monitoring, or aircraft connectivity, Signol focuses exclusively on the human factor — the individual pilot decision that most other tools leave unaddressed.
