F. Linke, German Aerospace Center (DLR), Germany
A system-wide analysis of the fuel savings achievable through Intermediate Stop Operations with the current world-wide aircraft fleet in a real flight and airport network is presented. For the first time, operational influences, including meteorological effects and flight planning policies are taken into account in the analysis of fuel savings.
