Global aviation actively contributes to anthropogenic global warming. Climate impact mitigation potential has been previously studied and quantitative estimates were determined. However, these estimates are associated with uncertainties in climate impact modelling and weather forecast. In this study, a methodology to consider these uncertainties when optimising trajectories in European airspace is presented.
