  • A Fond Farewell to Ve Fantastic Eets
    NEWS RELEASE A fond farewell to ve fantastic eets 4/30/2020 Last month, American Airlines announced plans to accelerate the retirement of some older, less fuel-ecient aircraft from its eet sooner than originally planned. As ying schedules and aircraft needs are ne-tuned during this period of record low demand, American will take the unique step of retiring a total of ve aircraft types. American has ocially retired the Embraer E190 and Boeing 767 eets, which were originally scheduled to retire by the end of 2020. The airline has also accelerated the retirement of its Boeing 757s and Airbus A330-300s. Additionally, American is retiring 19 Bombardier CRJ200 aircraft operated by PSA Airlines. These changes remove operating complexity and will bring forward cost savings and eciencies associated with operating fewer aircraft types. It will also help American focus on ying more advanced aircraft as we continue receiving new deliveries of the Airbus A321neo and the Boeing 737 MAX and 787 family. American’s narrowbody eet also becomes more simplied with just two cockpit types – the Airbus A320 and the Boeing 737 families. This benets American’s operational performance through training eciency and streamlined maintenance. American continues to evaluate its schedule and remains committed to caring for customers on life’s journey. These changes will help American continue to provide a reliable travel experience around the world, even during these uncertain times. Here’s a snapshot of the aircraft exiting American’s eet: Airbus A330-300 — Blue Sky News/Pittsburgh International AirportAirbus A330-300 1 Joined the US Airways eet in 2000 prior to joining American’s eet in 2013.

    Risk to Ozone and ozone-derived oxidation products on commercial aircraft Clifford P. Weisela Charles J. Weschlera,b Kris Mohana Jack Spenglerc Jose Vallarinoc William W Nazaroffc aEnvironmental & Occupational Health Sciences Institute, Rutgers University, NJ bInternational Centre for Indoor Environment and Energy,Tech Inst Denmark cHarvard School of Public Health, Boston, MA dDepartment of Civil and Environmental Engineering, UC, Berkeley, CA Background • At cruise altitude (10000 to 11000 m), ozone levels outside an aircraft are high – typically 200 to 800 ppb • Atmospheric conditions, such as folds in the tropopause, can result in an influx of stratospheric air into the lower atmosphere. Thus even lower flying aircraft can encounter high ozone levels Background • In the 1960s high ozone levels Dr. David Bates placed rubber bands (specially produced without antioxidants) in planes and observed that they cracked in an analogous fashion to a similar set exposed to ozone on the ground. At the same time toxicological symptom associated with ozone was observed occurring in flight attendants • To reduce ozone on planes that cruise at high altitude most wide-body aircraft have ozone filters to remove ~85% of the ozone from the ventilation air • However, only ~ 1/2 narrow-body aircraft remove ozone from the ventilation air Background • In 1980 FAA set an ozone standard in the airplane cabin of 100ppb average for flights exceeded 3 hours and 250ppb maximum – sea level equivalent. (Note ground level standard in 75ppb for 8 hours and 120ppm for

  • CO2 EMISSIONS from COMMERCIAL AVIATION: 2013, 2018, and 2019 Down from Nearly 19% in 2013
    OCTOBER 2020 CO2 EMISSIONS FROM COMMERCIAL AVIATION 2013, 2018, AND 2019 BRANDON GRAVER, PH.D., DAN RUTHERFORD, PH.D., AND SOLA ZHENG ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The authors thank Jennifer Callahan and Dale Hall (ICCT), Tim Johnson (Aviation Environment Federation), and Andrew Murphy (Transport & Environment) for their review. This work was conducted with generous support from the Aspen Global Change Institute. SUPPLEMENTAL DATA Additional country-specific operations and CO2 emissions data for 2013, 2018, and 2019 can be found on the ICCT website. International Council on Clean Transportation 1500 K Street NW, Suite 650, Washington, DC 20005 [email protected] | www.theicct.org | @TheICCT © 2020 International Council on Clean Transportation EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Last year, the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) developed a bottom-up, global aviation inventory to better understand carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from commercial aviation in 2018. This report updates the operations and emissions analyses for calendar year 2018 based on improved source data, and includes new analyses for 2013 and 2019. In 2013, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) requested its technical experts develop a global CO2 emissions standard for aircraft, and states began to submit voluntary action plans to reduce CO2 emissions from aviation. This paper details a global, transparent, and geographically allocated CO2 inventory for three years of commercial aviation, using operations data from OAG Aviation Worldwide Limited, ICAO, individual airlines, and the Piano aircraft emissions modeling software. Our Global Aviation Carbon Assessment (GACA) model estimated CO2 emissions from global passenger and cargo operations on par with totals reported by industry (Figure ES-1). In all three analyzed years, passenger flights were responsible for approximately 85% of commercial aviation CO2 emissions.
