SITA Launches eWAS+ Flight App With Weather Data
The electronic flight bag pairs weather and operational data for every phase of flight on iPadOS and Windows.
Updated on Nov. 5, 2026 in Forecasts
SITA has launched eWAS+, a new electronic flight bag app that combines weather and operational data into a single view for every phase of flight. It is available through airlines' private enterprise app stores or the public App Store.
Why it matters
The app brings weather products from more than 10 certified providers into one tool that pilots can use across the flight. It builds on the predecessor SITA eWAS platform used in the cockpit for more than 12 years.
The predecessor SITA eWAS platform has been used by more than 40,000 pilots at more than 60 airlines over more than 12 years. eWAS+ aggregates more than 40 weather products, including turbulence, winds, icing and lightning, from more than 10 certified providers, but adoption figures for the new app were not provided.

Seasonal Patterns
eWAS+ extends the SITA eWAS platform, which has been in use for more than 12 years, by aggregating more than 40 weather products into the same cockpit view. The shift places weather data from more than 10 certified providers inside a single electronic flight bag rather than separate tools.
Pilots whose airlines use SITA eWAS+ can access weather, trajectory and airspace data in one view across every phase of flight. Airlines that use SITA OptiFlight can weigh its fuel-saving recommendations against the conditions ahead.
The takeaway
Consolidating weather products from many certified providers into one flight tool reduces the need to switch between separate sources during a flight. Pilots and dispatchers can compare conditions ahead against operational plans in a single interface.
