Aircraft are no longer reliant on ground-based navigation systems but use advanced navigation systems based on the GPS satellite constellations.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThis allows aircraft to fly an infinitely variable number of different routes between two points, subject to the agreement and approval of Air Traffic Service Providers (ANSPs).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cAt Etihad Airways, we strongly advocate industry modernisation that will allow aircraft to fly to the capabilities they now have.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cIf similar savings were possible just once each week for flights between Abu Dhabi and Australia, we conservatively estimate an annual reduction in carbon emissions of some 1,100 tonnes and a saving of 350 tonnes of fuel. This would represent a reduction of more than four tonnes of carbon on every flight.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Etihad Airways has worked closely with other airlines and industry stakeholders in recent months to advance the ability of the industry to operate in a more environmentally sustainable manner.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In July this year, Etihad Airways took part in a research initiative organised by the Indian Ocean Strategic Partnership to Reduce Emissions (INSPIRE) which saw aircraft operated in a manner intended to set new standards in environmental best practice.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As well as allowing airlines to plan their flights to take advantage of beneficial jet streams \u2013 User Preferred Routings \u2013 other innovations saw aircraft using terminal gates as close as possible to runways and the nomination of secondary landing airports as close as possible to primary ones.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Article taken from Travel Daily News.
