U.S. domestic airline fuel efficiency ranking, 2014

The fuel efficiency of U.S. domestic operations in 2014 and described how the efficiencies of individual airlines have changed since 2010. Alaska Airlines continued to lead in fuel efficiency for the fifth year in a row. Spirit Airlines, Frontier Airlines, and Southwest Airlines followed closely behind Alaska and maintained their positions as the top four most fuel-efficient airlines on domestic operations. In contrast, American Airlines, although still ranked the least efficient in domestic operations, was able to close the efficiency gap from the previous year’s 27% to 25% in 2014 through phasing out Boeing 767-200 aircraft and removing some older MD-80 aircraft from its fleet.

A Roadmap Toward a Sustainable Aviation Ecosystem

whitePaper | August 31, 2022

This report outlines a holistic view of pathways to a sustainable aviation ecosystem, focusing on low-net-carbon aircraft energy carriers (fuels), airport ecosystems (airports and bases), and developments in sustainable aircraft components (aircraft). Taking this holistic ecosystem perspective, we identify critical components that contribute to sustainable energy solutions necessary to achieve deep decarbonization of the aviation industry, as well as the integrated energy system interfaces that must be comprehensively understood, planned for, and realized. Further, we outline necessary R&D needs to achieve sustainability across the aviation ecosystem, including advancing breakthrough innovations to rapidly achieve scalable solutions, with attention to their cross-sectoral dependencies and implications.

The Foundational Elements of the FederalAviation Administration Civil Aviation NoisePolicy

whitePaper | April 28, 2023

One of the primary environmental issues that significantly influences the capacity and flexibility of the national aviation system is aircraft1 and vehicle2 noise (collectively, “aircraft noise”). 3 The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) maintains a robust program of activities related to aviation noise. The FAA’s approach is multi-pronged, including research and development, regulatory control, and public and stakeholder outreach programs relating to the public’s experience of aviation noise.4 The FAA strives to reduce noise in ways within its purview, but its ability to control the change in aircraft noise exposure is limited.
