Tuesday, 12 February 2013

• Aviation is the cornerstone of global

commerce.

• More than 5 billion of passengers.

• More than 56 million jobs and US$2.2

trillion of GDP are supported by the air

travel (3.5% of global GDP)

• Over 35% of international tourists now

travel by air

• Air traffic is expected to double in the 20

coming years.

Airbus supports the Global Aviation Industry targets :

CO2 emissions/ passenger /kilometre

reduced by 75% (baseline 2000)

NOX emissions reduced by 90%

Perceived noise reduced by 65%

Improve Airbus fleet fuel efficiency by 1,5%

by 2020

Stabilise net carbon emissions from aviation

from 2020

By 2050, net aviation carbon emissions will be 50% less

compared to 2005.

Efficiency

Cost of ATM inefficiency in Europe in 2011 (Performance Review Report 2011)

• 8.1 million tonnes of additional CO2 emission per year

• €5 billion additional cost for Airspace Users

• Including €2,4 Billion for Airport delays, arrivals holding or Taxi out

In Europe for 2011
