Improved Fuel Efficiency Through Air Traffic Management
• Optimizing flight paths• Relieving system congestion• Integrating ATM and airborne technologies
Holding planes at the departure airport reduces fuel burn and emissions
Jet aircraft can use five times more fuel at lower altitudes than at cruising altitudes
