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.
