Efficiency at Altitude

While sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) is critical, it is currently limited by high costs and low supply. Airlines must adopt operational efficiencies—such as optimized flight paths and ground operations—to meet climate goals and protect margins.

Key Takeaways

• 1.Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) alone is insufficient to meet industry climate goals due to infrastructure, cost, and production capacity constraints.
• 2.Operational efficiencies, such as single-engine taxiing and AI-assisted flight path optimization, offer immediate fuel savings of 2-14%.
• 3.Fleet renewal is a key long-term lever, with modern aircraft consuming up to 25% less fuel than previous models.
