While increased fuel efficiency from Intermediate Stop Operations has been confirmed in previous research, an optimisation of this operational measure with regards to climate impact is performed in this work. Location of intermediate stop airport and cruise flight level influence both optimising options. Results are compared in terms of flight time, detour, fuel burn, and temperature response.
