The IATA Green Teams were created to study operational fuel efficiency within airlines. Moreover, the Green Teams perform on-site evaluations of requested member and non-member airline operations.
Their objective is to identify and evaluate fuel efficiency and emissions reduction initiatives. The Green Team then provides an assessment based on the team's expertise and experience gained from visits performed throughout the global airline industry.
Fuel Efficiency Gap Analysis Report
Using the data provided by the airlines, the Green Team generates a Fuel Efficiency Gap Analysis Report, which highlights the airline operational inefficiencies and recommended solutions to overcome them. The report usually focuses on the following airline operations:
- Flight planning, dispatch and operational control
- Flight Operations
- Maintenance and engineering
- Commercial
Benchmark Report
All findings by the IATA Green Teams are summarised and presented to the Airline Steering Committee members including the Board of Governors and other regulatory organisations like the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO). The report focuses on the dollar amount (US dollars), percentage of savings or CO2 emissions compared to the airline fuel budgets.
