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

Passengers Spend Less Time in the Air
