Knowing where to make fuel efficiency gains is only the beginning. Implementation is the key to success Airlines have every reason to be as fuel efficient as possible. From an environmental perspective, airlines are preparing for global market-based measures to meet challenging environmental targets and so must remain vigilant about the amount of CO2 they emit. Financially, volatility in oil prices and an estimated industry fuel bill of $208 billion—over a third of operational costs—provide a strong incentive as well. Airlines have clearly paid attention. In the past decade, investment in new aircraft and engines alongside operational reviews has improved fuel efficiency 17%. Finnair is one of many airlines committed to extending these efforts. 95 Bleach Download Episodes English Dubbed.
The airline’s goal is to reduce its emissions 24% per seat by 2017 compared with 2009 levels. IATA’s Green Teams provide an external review of the good work being done by the airlines. Green Teams began operation in 2005 and had conducted 111 Gap Analyses by October 2012. In total, their work has allowed airlines that have undergone the analysis to achieve a saving of 0.

Green Teams visit an airline at the airline’s request and conduct a thorough assessment of the carrier’s fuel usage. “This initial assessment establishes a baseline,” says Tom Fodor, IATA Assistant Director, Engineering & Maintenance.
“Every airline is different. There could be seasonal, operational or fleet issues to address, in addition to some regulatory restrictions.” The airline’s fuel budget is used as a reference point for any improvements. So, potential savings are added up and calculated as a percentage of the fuel budget. This figure becomes the airline’s target.
Green team visits have so far identified potential savings per airline in the 2% to 14% range. Additional support Identifying fuel efficiency measures is only one part of the equation, however. A successful answer depends on implementing the improvements. In addition to the 0.84 million tonnes of CO2 saved by the Green Teams, for example, a further 0.76 million tonnes of potential CO2 savings have been identified but not realized. The problem is not in implementation planning, which is straightforward enough. Priorities are set that identify the low hanging fruit.
Addressing those items that provide the most benefits for very little investment give encouragement to the airlines to continue the work. IATA helps to establish the business case for each change and also the methodology necessary to track data and achieve accurate measurements. But meticulous planning must be followed up with action. The challenge for many is ensuring that they have the knowledge and expertise to act. “Even the easier improvements can require detailed changes to be made across a number of departments,” explains Fodor. “It can be very hard to achieve the improvements but it is important work.
It isn’t enough to achieve a one-off result. Airlines must have in place the technology and processes that sustain fuel efficiency improvements.” Forums for discussion Workshops are one way to provide airlines with more support in addressing fuel efficiency issues. They started in 2008, acting as a forum for the participants to discuss best practice in five areas: • Flight Dispatch and Planning • Flight Operations • Maintenance and Engineering • Ground Operations • Cabin-related items “The workshops proved enormously successful,” says Fodor. “They provided an opportunity for IATA to share best practices and methodology for establishing efficiency improvement targets. At the same time airlines could discuss the latest ideas with industry colleagues.” These workshops were based on the Guidance Material and Best Practices for Fuel and Environmental Management. This is a living document, constantly evolving as new challenges and solutions enter the fray through the refocused workshops.
“We are getting some valuable information,” says Fodor. “We validate it and then feed it back into the system.” From 2010 onwards these free workshops took on a different character to push the implementation drive even harder. Brainstorming sessions took place that highlighted the critical obstacles to implementation and possible solutions. This fed into a third key area of the fuel efficiency drive; the Fuel Efficiency Program Implementation Guidance Material.
