“…The industry's strategy for meeting these goals rests upon improvements in operations, airport and air traffic management, airframe and engine technologies, as well as on large-scale introduction of aviation biofuels that have significantly lower GHG emissions on a lifecycle basis than petroleum-derived jet fuel (IATA, 2009). Hileman et al (2013) quantify the reduction in lifecycle GHG emissions intensity required to achieve the 2050 IATA goal in the U.S. They find that, after accounting for predicted growth in airline operations and fuel-efficiency improvements, aviation GHG intensity would need to decrease from 1.37 g of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO 2 e) per kilogram-kilometer in 2005 to 0.22 g in 2050; a decrease of 84%.…”

The MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change combines cutting-edge scientific research with independent policy analysis to provide a solid foundation for the public and private decisions needed to mitigate and adapt to unavoidable global environmental changes. Being data-driven, the Program uses extensive Earth system and economic data and models to produce quantitative analysis and predictions of the risks of climate change and the challenges of limiting human influence on the environment-essential knowledge for the international dialogue toward a global response to climate change.To this end, the Program brings together an interdisciplinary group from two established MIT research centers: the Center for Global Change Science (CGCS) and the Center for Energy and Environmental Policy Research (CEEPR). These two centers-along with collaborators from the Marine Biology Laboratory (MBL) at Woods Hole and short-and longterm visitors-provide the united vision needed to solve global challenges.At the heart of much of the Program's work lies MIT's Integrated Global System Model. Through this integrated model, the Program seeks to: discover new interactions among natural and human climate system components; objectively assess uncertainty in economic and climate projections; critically and quantitatively analyze environmental management and policy proposals; understand complex connections among the many forces that will shape our future; and improve methods to model, monitor and verify greenhouse gas emissions and climatic impacts.This reprint is one of a series intended to communicate research results and improve public understanding of global environment and energy challenges, thereby contributing to informed debate about climate change and the economic and social implications of policy alternatives.

“…According to Peeters et al [62] and Hileman et al [32] improved aviation operations have resulted in better value of fuel efficiency. The relationships between operational efficiency and efficiency are expressed by payload fuel efficiency equation [21,32]. Therefore, aircraft operational efficiency were measured in terms of parameters such as aircraft range [4,51], fuel weight, reserve fuel weight, payload, aircraft speed, crew weight, takeoff filed length, and landing filed length ( [2,4,5,27,29,65]).…”

“…These include improving the use of the airspace, air traffic control, and operations. Further, improving the use of airspace and air traffic control includes the flexible use of airspace, route redesign, using the new tools and programmes to find most effective route, and reduced separation between the aircraft [26,32]. Also, developed AI has contributed to the ATD and AO for fuel improvement [26,74].…”

“…Low or optimum SEP measures do not put pressure on airline to raise the ticket prices, to improve the technologies, and to adopt the suitable alternative fuel for fuel efficiency improvement [32,52]. In contrast, high SEP measures do not maintain a focus on travel demand rather than ATD and AFP.…”

Introduction The limited nature of oil, and hence aviation fuel is increasingly becoming a restraining factor for the air transport industry. Also, fuel efficiency is crucial for commercial air transport as fuel is one of the most costly operating parameters for an airline. Methodology This study employs structural equation modelling (SEM) approach to identify key dimensions influencing fuel efficiency in air transport (FEAT) and to explore the correlational relationships among constructs from the perspectives of fuel efficiency improvement. Self-administered questionnaires were used to collect data from 375 aviation experts. Correlation, multi-group moderation analysis, and interaction using structural equation model were used to analyses these data.Results The results and applications of SEM evolve a variety of findings; aircraft technology & design, aviation operations infrastructure, socioeconomic & political measures, and alternative fuels & fuel properties, and aviation infrastructure are proved to be the five key influential dimensions affecting the fuel efficiency and have a positive effect on the FEAT. In addition, the moderating effect of industry type and experience were established. The results also showed that no significant interaction effect between dimensions of FEAT. ConclusionsThe findings of this research can provide air transport valuable information for designing appropriate strategy for fuel efficiency improvement.
