Introduction Airlines have little or no control over the price of jet fuel. Managing fuel efficiency is an attractive strategy that can save an airline between 3 to 8 % of its fuel expense. The environmental benefits of releasing fewer emissions into the atmosphere are an added bonus. However, success requires good metrics, a multi-disciplinary approach within a well structured, systematic program. From the operational perspective, the fuel efficiency initiatives derived from the recommended practices from IATA and airline manufacturers can be incorporated into the line operations by the process owners. However, to be able to measure the effectiveness of these initiatives as well as to continuous monitor and track of the progress of these initiatives, a working group will eventually have to be established Various airlines have established a working committee in developing fuel conservation & efficiency program and the committee is often made up of members from various operational departments within the airlines. The members may consist of;

Flight Operations Airport Operations Engineering & Maintenance In-Flight Operations Network & Revenue Management Cargo Operations

Note: The following work program encompasses the project management aspect of the fuel conservation & efficiency initiatives as well as the process improvement aspects of line operations. The improvements and the fuel initiatives within this work program do not cover all initiatives practised by participating airline auditors and it is not exhaustive in their audit scope and testing. Further enhancement is required for more specific audit procedures and detailed testing. This work program had been jointly developed by the participants of the IAAIA Fuel Workshop in Kuala Lumpur from 15-16April2008, namely:

1. Cody Santos, Continental Air 2. Furqan Kamlani, Emirates 3. Menghistu Amare, Ethiopian Airlines 4. Robert Campos, Etihad Airways 5. Robert Engelbarts, KLM 6. Nestor Macaraniag, Philippine Airlines 7. Facilitators: Yeo Hock Kim & Gabriel Chang Thai Yau, Malaysia Airlines
