Fuel efficiency depends on many criteria. One of the most important is weight: the more weight you add on an aircraft, the more fuel you need to fly it.
The link between aircraft weight variations and fuel consumption is called the cost of weight. If the use of this indicator is not that clear...

Since summer 2017, jet fuel prices are rising. According to the International Air Transport Association (IATA), in October 2018, jet fuel price was 36% higher than one year ago. This spike in fuel prices, generally airlines’ biggest cost, is quickly eroding carriers’ profits and jeopardizing...
Big data and Artificial Intelligence are nowadays at the heart of many industries revolutions, including the airline industry.
Airlines are data rich, though it has been difficult to turn this data into insights.
Nowadays the fuel consumption is usually around 3 to 4 liters per passenger per 100 kilometers, which makes fuel the #1 cost for an airline (representing around 30% of total costs). As a result, how much fuel per passenger an aircraft is consuming is one of the most important issues in the...
Every day, fuel costs represent a larger share of airlines budgets, and this trend is unlikely to change anytime soon.
Using this limited resource smartly has become the main priority for all aircraft operators around the globe. That’s why most of them have already set up a fuel efficiency...
