<strong>Aviation</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Global</strong> <strong>Atmosphere</strong><br />

O<strong>the</strong>r operational measures to reduce <strong>the</strong> amount of fuel burned per passenger-km include increasing load factors (carrying more passengers or freight on a given<br />

aircraft), eliminating non-essential weight, optimizing aircraft speed, limiting <strong>the</strong> use of auxiliary power (e.g., for heating, ventilation), <strong>and</strong> reducing taxiing. The potential<br />

improvements in <strong>the</strong>se operational measures could reduce fuel burned, <strong>and</strong> emissions, in <strong>the</strong> range 2 to 6%.<br />

Improved operational efficiency may result in attracting additional air traffic, although no studies providing evidence on <strong>the</strong> existence of this effect have been identified.<br />
