Fuel & Carbon Methodology

  • Calculates trip fuel burn, per-seat fuel efficiency, and CO2 emissions for competing commercial aircraft on real trunk routes.
  • New-generation aircraft (A350, 787, A320neo, 737 MAX) demonstrate 20% to 28% lower fuel burn and CO2 emissions per seat-mile vs prior generation types.
  • CO2 emission factors calibrated using ICAO Carbon Emissions Calculator standards (3.16 kg CO2 per kg Jet-A1 fuel).
  • Enables airlines, environmental researchers, and corporate travel managers to compare fleet sustainability metrics.
