Aircraft manufacturers, in co-operation with their suppliers, must design and deliver the most economically efficient and environmentally friendly aircraft possible. Operators must keep the aircraft in good condition and ensure that they are operated efficiently. Aviation authorities and associated industry bodies must provide operators with the means to fly the most efficient routes.
The object of this document is to focus on issues where positive actions can result in tangible gains at the end of the year.  An average fuel conservation as low as 0.1% per flight will still add up to a tangible financial gain at the end of the year.
Unfortunately, optimum operational conditions can be compromised by Air Traffic Control (ATC) constraints. It may be argued that efforts made to conserve fuel can be negated if the aircraft is, for example, kept waiting on the taxiway or restricted to non-optimum flight altitude by an ATC requirement. Such constraints will always be a feature of commercial aircraft operations to a certain extent. However, IATA has launched its Fuel Efficiency Campaign fuel savings through a combination of route improvements, infrastructure enhancements (including a fuel quality assurance program), reduced flight times and, finally, operational efficiency recommendations.

3. INITIATIVES
3.1. INTRODUCTION
Efficient aircraft operations require the careful integration of many factors including regulatory restrictions, en-route and airport traffic control requirements, maintenance, aircrew and fuel costs. 
Systematic, effective flight planning and careful operation and maintenance of the aircraft and its engines are essential to ensuring that all requirements are properly addressed and that the aircraft is consistently being used in the most efficient way possible.
Like all complex machines, the aircraft, as it progresses through its operational life, will experience a performance degradation. Careful operation and maintenance can limit this degradation.
This section is the largest section of the document and provides advice on basic aircraft operations, operational procedures and aircraft maintenance.  Initially, fundamental operational principles are discussed. This is followed by specific procedures that can be used at various phases of the flight to optimize efficiency. The maintenance sections discuss the timely resolution of specific defects that have a notable impact on fuel consumption.  Finally, proposals for reducing aircraft weight can be found.  It is important to note that the implementation of a given proposal may affect costs elsewhere in the operation. These aspects are also highlighted within the discussion of each fuel saving initiative.
