SolarWinds, a leading provider of simple, powerful, secure observability and IT management software, today introduced SW1^™, marking a fundamental shift in how IT organizations operate. More than a feature, SW1 is an agentic AI teammate: a governed AI identity built to help move IT teams from reactive problem-solving to autonomous operational resilience, across on-premises data centers, private cloud, public cloud, and the hybrid architectures that connect them. Built on the SolarWinds^® Agentic Framework and grounded in AI by Design principles, SW1 gives organizations a single trusted interface to orchestrate AI across their entire environment.

 

The technology landscape has become increasingly complex, with hybrid environments expanding, multi-cloud now standard, and pressure on IT teams rising. In response, organizations are prioritizing greater visibility, faster detection, and increased automation to drive autonomous operational resilience.

 

 

Across both SolarWinds Observability Self-Hosted and SaaS, SW1 addresses this new reality enabling IT teams to use natural language to query agents and gain unified insights into system performance, capacity, and health. Built on the SolarWinds Agentic Framework and guided by AI by Design principles, it delivers responsible and secure AI rooted in trust and accountability.

 

 

“The organizations succeeding in this new era will be defined by how quickly they can move their IT leadership from managing complexity to driving strategy. SW1 makes that possible, by shifting teams from manual, reactive operations to intelligent, autonomous infrastructure that anticipates problems before users encounter them,” said Cullen Childress, Chief Product Officer, SolarWinds. “This isn’t just about operational efficiency. It’s about giving your best people the room to architect what comes next, while SW1 handles the operational weight underneath.”

 

 

SW1 in the Future

 

 

SolarWinds also announced upcoming enhancements to SW1 in the coming quarters, extending it beyond insights to include service reliability, governance, and autonomous issue resolution. New capabilities include:

 

 

• Improving operational health: SW1 will predict SLO/SLA risk and enable proactive intervention, including generating runbooks, workflows, and scripts from existing knowledge bases.
• Streamlining onboarding and time-to-value: It will automatically discover unmanaged assets and recommend monitoring coverage, while creating initial dashboards, alerts, and service views.

From Operator to Orchestrator

 

SW1 was purpose-built for what’s happening in today’s IT landscape. Moreover, decades of SolarWinds experience and partnerships with industry stakeholders informed just what today’s IT teams would need to navigate the fundamental shift currently taking place. According to the 2026 IT Trends Report: The Human Side of Autonomous IT, 80% of surveyed IT professionals say their role is shifting from operator to orchestrator — taking on new responsibilities like interpreting AI-driven insights (59%), designing intelligent workflows (56%), and validating AI outputs (47%). SW1 is built for exactly that reality — making it easier to gather and act on AI-generated insights, establish trust in AI outputs, and serve as the central command as IT pros build the agentic workflows that increasingly power critical business functions.

 

 

Paving the Path to Operational Resilience

 

 

When SolarWinds first announced its vision for autonomous operational resilience, the goal was to empower organizations to more seamlessly unify their systems, proactively address issues, and automate workflows across their IT environments. SW1 represents the next step in that vision, and with additional capabilities rolling out throughout 2026, it is designed to grow alongside the teams and organizations it serves.

• Scoot, the Singapore-based low-cost carrier, claimed the top spot in Cirium’s 2025 EmeraldSky Annual Review.
• Qatar Airways, Ryanair, and Turkish Airlines recognized as most efficient global airlines when ranked by seat capacity.
• Regional leaders include Frontier (Intra-North America), Wizz Air (Europe), Virgin Atlantic (Transatlantic), Air Canada (Transpacific), JetSmart (Latin America), and Vietjet (Asia).

 

Singapore-based Scoot has been named the world’s most emissions-efficient airline in Cirium’s 2025 EmeraldSky Annual Review, taking the top position from last year’s leader, Wizz Air. Qatar Airways, Ryanair, and Turkish Airlines were each recognized as the top three most efficient global airlines, ranked by available seat kilometres (ASK).

 

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260415951838/en/

 

 

 

Cirium’s industry leading ranking is based on CO₂ per available ASK across the world’s 100 largest airlines. The methodology is independently assured by PwC to ISAE 3000. It groups airlines into Gold, Silver and Bronze tiers based on global performance, which covers the top 15 airlines as well as key regional and route performers.

 

“Airline emissions performance comes down to decisions airlines can control — fleet choices, seat configuration and how aircraft are deployed on routes,” said Jeremy Bowen, CEO of Cirium. “The airlines at the top of these rankings have got those fundamentals right, and it shows. Better emissions efficiency and lower fuel bills go hand in hand.”

 

 

Scoot is the first Southeast Asian carrier to lead in global airline emissions efficiency rankings. Its average seat density of 242 seats per aircraft, operating on longer average sectors, placed it in the lead position this year. The results reinforce a consistent pattern across the industry. Airlines operating younger fleets with higher seat density continue to outperform their peers on emissions efficiency, with low-cost carriers dominating the top of the rankings. Wizz Air placed second (after placing first in 2024), followed by TUI Airways, Air Europa and Frontier Airlines, with all five carriers ranking in the top five globally and earning Gold status. Each has young fleets of aircraft compared to their peers.

 

 

Rank	Airline	Base Country	PAX CO2/ASK (g)	CO2 emissions (mt)	Flights per Year (thousands)	Fleet Age (years)	Avg. distance (km)
1	Scoot	Singapore	51	2.0	65	6.7	2,157
2	Wizz Air	Hungary	52.9	6.2	335	4.7	1,547
3	TUI Airways	UK	53.6	2.2	66	9.7	2,862
4	Air Europa	Spain	53.9	2.1	69	10	2,023
5	Frontier Airlines	USA	54.1	3.5	208	4.8	1,470
6	TUIfly	Germany	54.4	1.6	58	10.6	2,475
7	Virgin Atlantic	UK	54.5	2.8	27	6.8	6,566
8	AirAsia X	Malaysia	54.8	1.6	20	14	4,177
9	Pegasus	Turkey	55.9	3.8	233	5	1,372
10	Jetstar	Australia	56	3.7	183	11.1	1,623
11	Condor	Germany	56.15	2.29	55	11.2	2,883
12	Spirit Airlines	USA	56.77	3.78	217	6.4	1,535
13	Iberia	Spain	57.03	4.47	100	11.5	2,831
14	Volaris	Mexico	57.33	3.10	180	7.5	1,532
15	IndiGo	India	57.36	9.84	796	4.2	1,082
*Gold: Ranks 1-5 | Silver: Ranks 6-10 | Bronze: Ranks 11-15. For the full list of 20 airlines, please reference the report.

 

 

Wizz Air remains among the strongest performers with a fleet averaging under five years, similar to other performers such as Frontier Airlines and IndiGo.

 

Long-haul operators, in contrast, are closing the gap primarily through fleet renewal, by removing from service older, less-fuel-efficient aircraft. Airlines such as Virgin Atlantic demonstrate that newer widebody aircraft and higher-capacity configurations can deliver competitive emissions performance even on long-distance routes.

Airlines Closing the Gap: Capacity Growth Without Emissions Growth

 

Cirium’s 2025 review shows whether airlines are growing capacity faster than emissions. The table below ranks individual routes by the largest year-on-year reductions in CO2 per ASK and identifies the specific aircraft transition that drove each result. To qualify, a route must have operated at least 300 round trips in the year.

 

 

The metric highlights carriers making measurable progress, not just those already operating efficient fleets. Korean Air recorded the largest long-haul route improvements globally, driven by the transition to next-generation aircraft on key transpacific routes.

 

 

Rank	Route	Carrier	YoY CO₂/ASK Improvement	CO₂/ASK 2025 (g)	Fleet Transition	Avg. Seats	Route Dist. (km)
1	ICN – SEA	Korean Air	-27.4%	53.6	777-300ERs → 787-9/10s	308	8,376
2	ICN – HNL	Korean Air	-22.4%	52.3	747-8s & 777-300ERs → 787-10s	327	7,354
3	JFK – DEL	American Airlines	-20.4%	59.8	777-300ERs → 787-9s	285	11,756
4	KEF – SEA	Icelandair	-20.3%	57.9	757-200s → A321neos	186	5,810
5	JFK – GRU	American Airlines	-19.3%	51.5	777-200ERs → 787-9s	284	7,663
6	LHR – HKG	British Airways	-18.1%	64.3	777/787 family → A350-1000s	303	9,631
7	BOS – LHR	Delta Air Lines	-17.0%	60.0	A330-200s → A330-900neos	268	5,241
8	MSP – LHR	Delta Air Lines	-16.9%	57.2	A330-200s → A330-900neos	281	6,443
9	MUC – BOM	Lufthansa	-16.4%	55.5	A340-600s → A350-900neos	293	6,312
10	HKG – CDG	Cathay Pacific	-16.4%	62.8	777-300ERs → A350-900neos	287	9,590

 

 

“The route-level data tells a clear story,” said Bowen. “When airlines swap older widebodies for next-generation aircraft, emissions per seat kilometre can fall by as much as 27 percent on that route within a year. This isn’t theoretical — we’re measuring it on real routes with real operational data.”

 

About the EmeraldSky emissions report

 

 

Now in its second year, Cirium’s EmeraldSky Annual Review evaluates airline emissions intensity using CO₂ per available seat kilometre (ASK), based on analysis of the world’s 100 largest scheduled passenger airlines.

 

 

The 2025 edition also tracks year-on-year progress, measuring whether airlines are increasing capacity faster than emissions. The methodology uses flight-level operational data and is independently assured under ISAE 3000 by PwC. EmeraldSky is also accredited by the Rocky Mountain Institute as a qualified flight emissions data provider under the Pegasus Guidelines, the first climate-aligned finance framework for aviation.

Sia, an international consulting group specializing in strategy, management, and AI, continues to expand its leadership in Agentic AI. Born in the digital era, the firm leverages the expertise of more than 3,000 consultants across 19 countries to help organizations scale AI-driven transformation.

 

Scaling Solution Intelligence: From Rapid Experimentation to Production-Ready Agentic Deployment

 

 

Following the launch of its Generative AI platform in June 2023 and its Agent Store in September 2025, Sia has reached a new milestone. With around 100 agents at launch and 400 in early 2026, the firm now offers more than 800 AI agents, available for direct consultation and deployment.

 

 

Built on a learn-by-design approach, Sia’s Agent Store enables organizations to rapidly discover, test, and scale production-ready agentic use cases across industries such as Finance, Energy, Public Sector, Healthcare, and Retail, as well as across all corporate functions.

 

 

To accelerate innovation cycles, Sia leverages rapid user interface development through advanced low-code and no-code tools from its technology partners. This approach allows teams to quickly prototype, iterate, and validate business adoption—identifying the most relevant agents from an end-user and operational perspectives.

 

 

At the same time, Sia is industrializing deployment by integrating its agents into leading market agentic infrastructures. For clients already operating within these environments, this enables a near “one-click deployment” capability, significantly reducing time-to-value.

 

 

Architects of the Agentic Journey: Bundling Business Expertise with Digital Assets to Redefine Consulting

 

 

Sia’s conviction is clear: companies don’t need more AI experimentation—they need Applied Intelligence: AI embedded into operational workflows and accountable for measurable impact. That is why the Agent Store was designed as more than a catalog—it is a platform to structure and scale Solution Intelligence.

Plasma, the company behind the first stablecoin-native neobank and the infrastructure powering it, has announced the appointment of Zaheer Ebtikar as Chief Strategy Officer. The appointment reinforces Plasma’s commitment to making stablecoins practical for everyday use worldwide, beginning with the launch of its stablecoin-native neobank, Plasma One.

 

Ebtikar brings more than eight years at the centre of crypto markets, combining macroeconomic insight with deep relationships across the institutional, trading, and infrastructure layers of the ecosystem. As Founder and Chief Investment Officer of Split Capital, he built one of crypto’s most prominent hedge funds. He has also held senior roles at LedgerPrime, Deribit, and Immutable Capital.

 

 

The global stablecoin supply has nearly doubled in the past year. Institutions worldwide are racing to define their strategies, yet no product has bridged the gap between stablecoin infrastructure and a full consumer banking experience. Plasma One is designed to be exactly that: the first stablecoin-native neobank, turning stablecoins into a practical tool for everyday spending, saving, and business use across markets.

 

 

To support that ambition, Plasma is building a vertically integrated licensing and technology stack, acquiring regulatory licenses in key markets and bringing critical infrastructure in-house. This own-the-stack approach is designed to deliver lower costs, greater reliability, and a defensible long-term position in an increasingly competitive landscape.

 

 

Chief Strategy Officer, Zaheer Ebtikar, said: “I remember visiting the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul and seeing the sheer volume of over-the-counter transactions between cash, lira and USD₮. That moment made clear to me that stablecoins aren’t a niche, they’re becoming the backbone of how people actually move money. What drew me to Plasma is that they’re not just building another chain. They’re building the first product that puts a stablecoin-powered banking service in anyone’s hands, and assembling the licensing infrastructure to make it work at scale.”

 

 

CEO, Paul Faecks, said: “Zaheer brings a rare combination of deep market intuition, institutional credibility, and genuine conviction in what we’re building. As we move from mainnet to product launch, his strategic leadership will be critical in driving Plasma One into the hands of users worldwide.”

 

 

About Plasma

 

 

Plasma builds financial products for consumers and businesses using stablecoins instead of traditional banking rails. Plasma One, its first product, lets users send, spend, save, and earn with stablecoins. Everything runs on Plasma’s own blockchain, built from the ground up for speed, reliability, and scale.
