The International Air Transport Association (IATA) launched IATA FuelIS, an advanced analytics solution designed to optimize 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 optimize fuel consumption, reduce fuel costs, and improve environmental performance. 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," says Nick Careen, IATA SVP operations, safety and security.
Key takeaways:
- The fuel efficiency of various aircraft types for different regions and times can be analyzed by comparing fuel burn per Operational Ton-Kilometer (OTK) with industry averages.
- Fuel quantity at landing can be measured for aircraft and benchmarked against the aggregated fuel quantities of all other airlines landing at the same airport.
- OEMs can also use IATA FuelIS to gauge the fuel efficiency of their aircraft or engines against industry averages.
- FuelIS uses data from the IATA Global Aviation Data Management (GADM) system, which is sourced from the Flight Data eXchange (FDX) program and comprises fuel data from 215 airlines worldwide.
