The importance of fuel saving

Fuel has become one of the major costs of airlines and its share is likely to increase in the future. Increasing environmental constraints, such as EU ETS contribute to the incentives for reducing fuel usage and researching fuel efficient operations.

Fuel can be saved through multiple initiatives:

• Flight Dispatch measures: flight planning, flight tankering, weight management, cost index...
• Flight Ops measures: APU usage, engine out, CDA...
• MRO measures: aircraft configuration, drag reguction...

The difficulty is to set the right priority between all these measures, evaluate them in the specific context of your operations and assess their efficiency in a comprehensive way.

• Do you know how much fuel you can save if you purchase a GPU at a given remote station? This year? Next year?
• Do you know what would be the benefit of single engine taxi-out at your base station on a given fleet?
• Are you sure your aircrafts are affected to the best routes?
• Did you know that a given tail number did no perform as well as other aircrafts of the same type?
• And what about the excess fuel burn of marketing or duty-free material? How does it compare with your sales?

By proposing the right questions in terms of fuel saving and giving you the correct answers, SkyBreathe can contribute to several percents of cost, fuel and emissions reductions.
