IATA has launched FuelIS, an analytics solution to optimize airline fuel consumption using aggregated and anonymized flight and fuel data.
Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) can utilize IATA FuelIS to assess the fuel efficiency of their aircraft or engines relative to industry benchmarks. This enables them to derive insights tailored to various markets, regions, countries, and fleet types using authentic operational data, thus aiding customers in maximizing the effectiveness of their products.
Key Features of FuelIS Include:
- Fleet Fuel Efficiency Assessment: The fuel efficiency of various aircraft types for different regions and times can be analyzed by comparing fuel burn per Operational Tonne-Kilometer (OTK) with industry averages.
- Airport Benchmarking Analysis: Fuel quantity at landing can be measured for aircraft. This can be benchmarked against the aggregated fuel quantities of all other airlines landing at the same airport.
Nick Careen, IATA Senior Vice President Operations, Safety and Security, said “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.”
Data Accuracy and Reliability
IATA FuelIS uses data from the IATA Global Aviation Data Management (GADM) system. This data is sourced from the Flight Data eXchange (FDX) program which now comprises fuel data from 215 airlines worldwide, sufficient to ensure the highest level of accuracy in the insights that can be derived.
Supporting Better Performance
Fuel presently accounts for almost one-third of an airline’s operational expenses. Since 2005, IATA has collaborated with airlines to pinpoint opportunities for fuel savings. IATA FuelIS will continue to bolster this objective.
