Maximizing Efficiency, Minimizing Emissions

Fuel represents 25-30% of airlines' operating costs, with projections that reach 45% by 2050. With the industry committed to net-zero emissions by 2050, IATA's Fuel Efficiency Program offers airlines the tools and expertise to identify and implement fuel-saving initiatives that deliver both cost savings and environmental benefits. 

Unlock measurable benefits

The Fuel Efficiency Program helps airlines reduce fuel burn, cut costs, and operate more sustainably through a proven combination of tools and expert guidance: 

  • Pinpoint inefficiencies across flight dispatch, ground, and flight operations and access in-depth benchmarking against 200+ airlines.
  • Access data-driven insights through interactive dashboards that highlight your biggest opportunities for fuel savings.
