The International Air Transport Association (IATA) launched IATA FuelIS, an advanced analytics solution to optimise airline fuel consumption, using aggregated and anonymized flight and fuel data.
“IATA FuelIS is a robust analytical tool for airlines to make both strategic and operational decisions to optimise fuel consumption, reduce fuel costs, and improve environmental performance,” said Nick Careen, IATA Senior Vice President Operations, Safety and Security in a statement.
“By enabling airlines to benchmark their fuel performance against aggregated industry data, airlines can understand where they excel and where they need to take action,” added Careen.
The new technology will allo companies to measure the fuel efficiency of various aircraft types for different regions and times by comparing fuel burn per Operational Tonne-Kilometer (OTK) with industry averages.
Moreover, the fuel quantity at landing can be measured for aircraft. “This can be benchmarked against the aggregated fuel quantities of all other airlines landing at the same airport,” IATA explained.
“OEMs can also use IATA FuelIS to gauge the fuel efficiency of their aircraft or engines against industry averages, gaining valuable insights into specific markets, regions, countries, and fleet types based on real operational data and helping their customers to use their products effectively,” they added further.
