Fuel Burn Reduction

Technology is a key driver for carbon reduction. Improvements in data driven flight-planning solutions offer significant promise to airline operators looking to save time, costs and fuel consumption.

Partnership with RocketRoute

Victor is working with RocketRoute, a leading global flight planning provider, in order to calculate emissions, optimise routes and reduce fuel burn. RocketRoute’s ability to accurately and dynamically route flights in real-time, gives them a competitive edge over other providers and makes the service ideal for optimising fuel burn.

Calculation

After every flight, RocketRoute records the actual flight plan filed by every operator. This provides Victor with a highly accurate view of actual fuel consumption for our credit calculations. In addition, Victor compares this data with an optimal flight plan that is simulated by RocketRoute just prior to take-off. The difference between the RocketRoute simulated data and the actual flight plan data is then investigated on a plan-by-plan basis to pinpoint route inefficiencies and potential fuel burn reduction.
