Airline operations must reduce costs, more direct routes, avoid airborne and ground delays to reduce jet fuel costs. This has to be balanced between cost associated with the purchase of ADS-B in and out equipment, as opposed to the present inefficient use of jet fuel.
The most limiting factor in reducing fuel costs is based on insufficient airport runways. Sitting on the ground waiting for takeoff clearance, flying around a holding pattern is expensive and needless.
AEROSPACE SAFETY AND SECURITY [ASAS] provides the innovative process provides for:
- greatly reduce ground taxi time for both arrivng and departing aircraft
- facilitates aircraft departures following deicing - therefore avoids repeat deicing requirements.
