Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has allowed InterGlobe Aviation (IndiGo) to carry pre-flight briefing data in electronic form, a move that will help in reduction of overall weight of aircraft and fuel consumption. With the adoption of the Electronic Flight Folder (EFF), the airline can carry pre-flight briefing data such as flight plans and weather charts in the digital form instead of hard copies.

Electronic flight folder is updatable and forms the basis of pilots' digital briefing pack on their EFB (electronic flight bag) device, which is an intuitive interface, enabling pilots to access and process the information they need swiftly. According to the DGCA, the use of EFF technology allows airlines to use the latest data to optimise flight paths thereby reducing fuel consumption, and ultimately, lowering emissions. This would potentially lead to a large amount of fuel saving per annum. 

InterGlobe Aviation provides air transportation services in India and internationally. The company primarily operates IndiGo passenger airline.
