Since the beginning of June, Gabriele Sirtori, a postdoctoral researcher at ISA, has been leading a research project aimed at quantifying and attributing operational inefficiencies in air traffic management.
This project, funded by Thales, has the following objectives:
– develop a multidisciplinary operational efficiency metric that takes into account aircraft performance, ATM constraints, and environmental impacts;
– apply this metric to representative pre- and post-COVID periods to quantify and categorize sources of inefficiency, combining economic and environmental indicators with traditional indicators (punctuality, predictability, safety).
In a multidisciplinary team consisting of Laurent Joly and Scott Delbecq (ISAE-SUPAERO) and Xavier Olive (ONERA), this 18-month project will revisit the assessment of inefficiencies in air traffic management, the reduction of which represents a lever for reducing the footprint of air transport.
We look forward to sharing updates on this exciting project.

The Institute for Sustainable Aviation will hold its 6th workshop dedicated to “SAF Futures: Innovations, Challenges and Social Dimensions”, on Friday, December 12, at ISAE-SUPAERO.
In 2021, we released CAST, an open-access academic tool from ISAE-SUPAERO to model transition scenarios for the airline industry. Today, CAST is evolving into AeroMAPS.
On September 17, we will welcome Professor Ricardo Flores-Fillol, who will be speaking on « The environmental challenge in aviation: can airport charges be part
