Despite an environment constrained by aircraft technology, air traffic control or the weather, carriers have several levers which, together, allow notable gains, starting with “eco-piloting”, which can allow companies to save up to ‘at 5% fuel.
“Eco-piloting is to aviation what eco-driving is to automobiles or rail. At the SNCF for example, we have been encouraging drivers to brake less and accelerate less for a long time.“, continues Arnaud Aymé.
For air travel, the situation is similar. In flight, for example, pilots have been encouraged for several years to optimize their speed during takeoff or to manage landing more smoothly, which saves fuel.
