- Data-driven collaboration with air traffic agencies helps
airlines to burn less fuel, emit less carbon, and travel fewer
miles
- Graphical depiction of what is going on at a single airport, or
across the world, could result in changes in airspace design, pilot
decisions
- Flight path designs, coupled with Airspace Insight, can further
increase benefit
GE Digital today announced Qantas has chosen to implement
Airspace Insight™ as a tool designed to answer complex “what if”
questions to improve airspace operations and identify opportunities
to help drive more sustainable, efficient, and safe operations.
Airspace Insight is designed to help identify and quantify
airspace inefficiencies to reduce overall flight time, fuel burn,
and carbon emissions. It is estimated that a typical flight emits
900 to 1,000 kg of excess carbon per flight due to inefficient
airspace design and air traffic control practices1. Airspace
Insight is the first tool of its kind enabling a collaborative
approach among the necessary stakeholders -- Air Traffic Control
(ATC), airlines, airports, airspace designers, and communities) to
not only identify inefficiencies in an airspace, but also to
recognize unnecessary flight paths over environmentally sensitive
areas, helping reduce the impact of noise and pollution.
Airspace Insight is designed to better enable Qantas to
understand what is happening in their airspace from a safety and
efficiency perspective with more detail than they had access to
before. This information enhances Qantas’ already industry-leading
safety program with data they can use to collaborate with air
traffic control organizations around the world. In addition, this
data can ultimately help Qantas reduce carbon and other Greenhouse
Gas (GHG) emissions while simultaneous decreasing aircraft noise
footprints with optimal routing and more efficient climb and
descent profiles.
Coupled with Navigation Services, Airspace Insight will support
Qantas to continue their work in providing precision lateral and
vertical guidance to every runway end. Expected benefits include
eliminating circling, side-step, and non-precision procedures;
providing lateral and vertical guidance to every runway end;
promoting wind-aligned operations; accounting for non-normal and
rare-normal conditions, reducing pilot and controller workload;
providing guidance through complex terrain scenarios; and
increasing track predictability. Passengers will also benefit from
decreased flight times and reduced carbon emissions.
“The only way to get the kind of acceleration we need to hit our
sustainability and efficiency goals is to put data to work,” said
Andrew Coleman, General Manager of GE Digital’s Aviation Software
business. “That data is already available in flight operations and
in the flight itself. Innovators like Qantas are constantly looking
to improve their flight experience for passengers and identify
opportunities to drive change in their business and in the
industry. We are honored to work with them toward those goals.”
