Potential savings

The improvement measures implemented since AIRAC 2010 could have led to:

501,000 NMs

flown less on shortest available route

3,000 tonnes

less fuel used

10,000 tons

less CO2 emitted

2,500,000

saved

Real-world performance

Based on our filed flight plan indicator, the actual situation during AIRAC 2010 was:

984,000 NMs

flown less compared to shortest available route

5,900 tonnes

less fuel used

19,700 tons

less CO2 emitted

4,920,000

saved

Key reasons

Potential causes having an impact on flight planning/ airline choices: 

  • Weather
  • Industrial action
  • Closed areas in adjacent airspace(s)
  • Regulations applied due to capacity problems in the network

Note: The data of AIRAC 2010 report are significantly disrupted by the COVID-19 crisis. Traffic continues to progress between 40%~50% of last year’s levels, still around 50% - 60% fewer flights in the NM area compared to 2019. Therefore, the statistics/ results might not be as reliable and accurate as usual.
