The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has launched IATA FuelIS, an advanced analytics solution to optimise airline fuel consumption.


"By enabling airlines to benchmark their fuel performance against aggregated industry data, airlines can understand where they excel and where they need to take action," said Nick Careen, IATA svp Operations, Safety and Security.

Key features include:
•    Fleet Fuel Efficiency Assessment: The fuel efficiency of various aircraft types for different regions and times can be analysed by comparing fuel burn per Operational Tonne-Kilometre (OTK) with industry averages. 
•    Airport Benchmarking Analysis: Fuel 'left in the tanks' at landing can be measured for aircraft. This can be benchmarked against the aggregated fuel quantities of all other airlines landing at the same airport. 

OEMs can also use IATA FuelIS to gauge the fuel efficiency of their aircraft or engines against industry averages, gaining valuable insights into specific markets, regions, countries and fleet types based on real operational data and helping their customers to use their products effectively.

IATA FuelIS uses data from the IATA Global Aviation Data Management (GADM) system. This data is sourced from the Flight Data eXchange (FDX) program which now comprises fuel data from 215 airlines world wide, sufficient to ensure the highest level of accuracy. 

Fuel currently represents nearly a third of the operational expenses of an airline.
