SAA support industry efforts such as the call from the IATA (International Air Transport Association) for voluntary commitment from member airlines to increase fuel efficiency and reduce CO2 emissions. Based on their checklist for greener operations, SAA already have an 80% compliance. SAA are looking at more ways to improve our ground and flight operations so that SAA can up that percentage. In fact, SAA Chief Pilot, Captain Johnny Woods is Vice Chair of the Operations Committee, a body responsible for implementing the most effective solutions around these issues. SAA are also in ongoing discussions with aviation partner, Air Transport Navigational Services (ATNS), on how traffic control procedures can contribute towards improved efficiencies. |
