The IATA Fuel Efficiency Campaign was introduced in 2004, and was originally initiated to improve routes and to develop best practices for airlines. The campaign elements have been extended to now:
- Routes/ATM/Infrastructure Improvements
- Air Traffic Management Improvements
- Operations Efficiency (“Green Teams”)
- Fuel Quality Audits (IFQP)
- Regulatory Framework
- Alternative Fuel
All elements are now integrated in the enhanced IATA Environmental Program to reflect the pillars defined in the IATA Position Paper on Climate Change.
The IATA Environment Managing Systems (IEMS) Operations and Infrastructure project includes the new elements identified as:
- Efficiency Improvements for Take off and approach procedures
- Best practices approved by Original Equipment Manufacturers
- Flight Planning tool upgrades – recommendations to airlines*
- Enhancements in Aircraft Configuration Upgrades*
- Efficiency improvements in Ground Operations*
- Efficiency Improvements in Fleet Renewal*
ATM Efficiency Studies
*Under the scope of the IATA Green Teams
