A Pre - Flight Fuel Planning Analysis Tool Under Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA)

Abstract

This research aims to: 1) study pre-flight fuel planning and the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation, and 2) present an analysis tool and determine effective pre-flight fuel planning strategies. This research employs a research and development (R&D) methodology, collecting data from 10 key informants in involved in aircraft fuel planning operations within the airline. The research process is divided into three phases: Phase 1 involves content analysis of pre-flight fuel planning and CORSIA. Phase 2 focuses on designing the fuel planning analysis tool under CORSIA and Phase 3 evaluates the tool through experimental implementation.

The research found that the online-based a pre-flight fuel planning analysis tool under CORSIA, designed and tested with 10 key informants, received a highest level of approval. The tool received an average rating of 4.50, with a standard deviation of 0.56. The study emphasizes the necessity for aircraft operators to integrate environmental considerations, particularly reducing carbon dioxide emissions, alongside managing fuel costs. The release of carbon dioxide contributes to global warming and imposes additional carbon offset costs on operators in the future. Hence, aircraft operators must utilize analytical tools to support operational decisions, manage costs, and refine policies to enhance the efficiency and sustainability of future operations.
