easyJet is a commercial airline that has partnered with the European Space Agency (ESA) and Viasat to utilize satellite technology for modernizing air traffic management. As the first airline to adopt the Iris program, easyJet aims to optimize flight paths, reduce fuel consumption, and cut carbon emissions. By digitally connecting pilots with air traffic controllers via satellites, the Iris system enables more efficient and direct flight routes. This initiative supports the Single European Skies initiative and easyJet's goal of achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.
