ICCT study finds tankering could undermine EU SAF mandate

ICCT study finds tankering could undermine EU SAF mandate Fuel tankering in commercial aviation is the practice of overfueling with less expensive fuel purchased at one airport to avoid purchasing more expensive fuel at another in other words, flying with extra fuel on board to save money. Calculating the benefit of tankering is highly flight-specific; extra fuel increases the takeoff mass of the plane, and results in a fuel burn penalty proportional to the flight distance. Nevertheless, the practice is common. Businesses have developed calculators to assist in determining tankering go/no-go benefits, and aircraft manufacturers such as Gulfstream provide guidance as well.

Air traffic figures are grim as COVID lockdowns bite

Airline Ratings As the rest of the world’s air traffic takes a plunge on new lockdowns China and the US passenger flights continue to climb with the two countries accounting for 47 percent of all air traffic. A new report from the Official Airline Guide (OAG) says that last week “global capacity fell by another two million seats and now stands at 51.3 million seats, around the same levels as we saw in the first week of July 2020 when we thought a recovery was beginning.” “Twelve months ago, domestic capacity accounted for 61 percent of all seats operated, this week that has reached 81 percent with China and the United States accounting for some 23 million domestic seats,” noted the OAG report authored by John Grant.
