Emirates fuel efficiency improves in 2015 fiscal
Emirates’ policy of operating one of the youngest fleets in the world saw the airline improve its fuel efficiency by 1% to 0.3057 litres per tonne kilometre in its last financial year. The improvement came from the new 24 new aircraft and retired 10 older that the airline brought in over the 12 months to March 31, 2015. The airline said its fuel efficiency of 0.3057 litres per tonne kilometre is 14% better than IATA average. It was 14.5% better in the previous financial year. The improvement in fuel efficiency would be welcomed by any airline, where fuel is often the single largest operational cost. In 2014-2015, Emirates airline spent US$7.8b on jet fuel, 34.6% of its operational costs. But with its fleet expanding to 232 aircraft, at the end of its last financial year, Emirates fuel consumption was up 10.2% to 8,975,666 tonnes. <br/>
