Using data collected from the U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics, we analyze 110 different aircraft types from 145 airlines operating U.S. commercial domestic service between 1991 and 2010. We classify the aircraft analyzed into four categories: turboprop, regional jet, narrow-body, and wide-body.

Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a Bachelor of Science degree in Environmental Studies from the University of Vermont Aircraft Fleets & Environment 2 Abstract Aviation is a growing industry with its own set of environmental impacts such as high altitude greenhouse gas emissions, use of nonrenewable fuels, and stresses to communities surrounding airports. The industry is under increasing pressure to address its impacts. One of the things that affects impacts is fleet composition. The current research mainly covers operational impacts of greenhouse gas and noise emissions of individual aircraft. In order to establish a relationship between the composition of aircraft fleets and environmental impacts, this thesis used four analyses. These analyses examined fuel consumption, exhaust emissions, noise emissions, and infrastructure congestion. A couple of generalized types of aircraft that were used for comparison were narrow versus wide body aircraft and newer versus older aircraft.

  • Bolstered by Growing Global Alliances, Delta Strengthens International Schedules for Summer 2010
    FOR IMMEDIATE DISTRIBUTION CONTACT: Delta Corporate Communications 1-404-715-2554 (U.S.) 44-208-867-6295 (Europe, Middle East, Africa) 81-3-5400-7230 (Japan, Asia) Bolstered by Growing Global Alliances, Delta Strengthens International Schedules for Summer 2010 Airline maintains discipline by reallocating existing capacity to new routes ATLANTA, Oct. 20, 2009 – Delta Air Lines (NYSE: DAL) today announced a series of schedule enhancements to strengthen its international network for summer 2010. The changes – which will expand service for customers in 17 cities – leverage Delta’s industry-leading joint venture with Air France- KLM, growing alliance relationship with Alaska Air Group and increased fleet flexibility gained from its merger with Northwest. “No other airline has the alliance partners, fleet flexibility or network breadth to consistently deliver new routes for customers while at the same time being responsible in managing capacity in the face of a global economic recession,” said Glen Hauenstein, Delta’s executive vice president – Network Planning and Revenue Management. “As America’s flag carrier to the world, Delta’s 2010 schedule will bring new nonstop service to dozens of communities around the globe, thanks to the strength of our worldwide alliances.” Delta’s 2010 changes are part of the first fully consolidated schedule published following Delta’s merger with Northwest, allowing the airline to reallocate existing capacity to new routes. Delta also will maintain many of the international route reductions it announced in June in response to decreased global demand. Delta’s new and expanded nonstop routes for summer 2010 will be focused in three regions: Trans- Pacific, trans-Atlantic and Africa.

  • The Political and Economic Influence on Northwest Airlines' Route
    國立臺灣師範大學地理學系 第四十三屆碩士論文 The Political and Economic Influence on Northwest Airlines’ Route Network in East Asia 指導教授：洪致文 研 究 生：延欣智 中華民國一〇三年六月 ABSTRACT Author: Hsin-chih Yen Advisor: Dr. Chih-wen Hung Title: The Political and Economic Influence on Northwest Airlines’ Route Network in East Asia Institution: Department of Geography, National Taiwan Normal University Degree: Master of Liberal Arts Year: 2014 Northwest Airlines operated one of the largest international route networks in East Asia from 1947 to 2010. Although Taiwan became one of its stops in Asia since 1950, it was not in the original network plan. The complex political, military, diplomatic and economic relationships between Taiwan, China, the U.S.A and other East Asian countries deeply affected airlines development and route network after the Second World War. The aim of this research attempts to analyze how these factors affected Northwest Airlines’ route network, and to understand the development of Northwest Airlines in Asia. Moreover, this research also analyzes Taiwan’s position in Northwest Airlines’ route network. The results suggest that many various factors played different roles throughout time. From the late 1940s to 1960s, Northwest Airlines’ route network was affected significantly by political and military factors because of wars and containment of communist forces. From the 1970s to the 1980s, with the international situation changing rapidly, diplomatic factor played an important role. After the 1980s, the airlines industry became less restricted, which enabled airlines to make decisions based upon the market instead of political interference. Therefore, economic factor has become more important than before. These findings have implications for understanding foreign airlines business development in East Asia rather than local airlines.
