The benchmark helps aviation teams evaluate environmental performance as part of everyday operating decisions rather than as a separate reporting exercise.
A group-wide aviation benchmark brings aircraft utilization, energy, maintenance, and airport processes into one operational performance view.
Beyond a single efficiency measure
01Flight efficiency is influenced by aircraft condition, routing, turnaround processes, ground equipment, and the quality of operational planning. The new benchmark combines those factors so teams can see where local improvements create wider system value.
The first version establishes common definitions and review practices across aviation programs. It does not replace detailed regulatory or customer reporting.
A foundation for better decisions
02Business units will use the benchmark to prioritize trials, compare operating changes, and improve the evidence behind future investment decisions. Results will be reviewed through group sustainability governance.
