Analysis of Aircraft Routing Strategies for North Atlantic Flights by Using AirTraf 2.0

Analysis of Aircraft Routing Strategies for North Atlantic Flights by Using AirTraf 2.0

Climate-optimized routing is an operational measure to effectively reduce the climate impact of aviation with a slight increase in aircraft operating costs. This study examined variations in the flight characteristics among five aircraft routing strategies and discusses several characteristics of th...
