Kenya Airways Approach Approach towards sustainability 1. Aircraft related technology 2. More efficient operations 3. Improved ATM and infrastructure use 4. Economic MBM
Kenya Airways Approach 1. Aircraft Related Technology - Fleet Modernization Among the youngest fleet age. (approx. 6yrs)
Current Fleet 37 Aircraft Aircraft Type Seat Config. 8x B787-800 J30/M204 8x B737-800 J16/M129 4x B737-700 J16/M100 2x B737-300 Freighter 15x E190 J12/M84 6
Efficient Operations 1. Flight Dispatch Fuel efficiency requires a coordinated effort between Flight Operations, Dispatch and Operations Control. Many opportunities for fuel savings and reduced emissions exist from the start of the planning process through the execution of the flight. With the help of a flight planning management system, Kenya Airways ensures fuel efficiency by; a. Optimizing cost index b. Flight Plan Optimization c. Fuel Bias d. Alternate Selection / No ALTN IFR e. Contingency Fuel reduction from f. Reduction of Pilot / Dispatcher Additional Fuel g. Zero Fuel Weight Accuracy h. C of G Management i. Mission Management j. Excess Taxi Fuel Allowance
Efficient Operations Contd. 2. Flight Operations The flight operations department is involved in delivering fuel savings. Some of the initiatives carried out include; a. APU Utilization b. Taxi c. Optimized Taxi Fuel d. Engine Out Taxi e. Reduced Flap Takeoff f. Reduced Acceleration Altitude g. Low Noise Low Drag Approaches h. Continuous Descent Approaches i. Reduced Flap Landing j. Idle Reverse on Landing k. Pilot Technique & Flight Management
Efficient Operations Contd. 3. Maintenance and Engineering a. Weight reduction b. Moisture in insulation blankets, fly-away kit c. On-board weight: dirt, dust, over-paint, etc. d. Drag Reduction through rigging of aircraft panels; Doors, seals e. Paint & cleanliness f. Engine Improvement g. Engine core wash, engine build for fuel efficiency
Efficient Operations Contd. 4. Ground Operations and Commercial a. Aircraft Handling how the aircraft is powered, air-conditioned, and moved while on the ground. b. Aircraft Servicing the various services performed on the aircraft on the ground (excluding maintenance) such as fueling, cleaning, and loading/unloading. c. Aircraft Commercial (Discretionary) Weight that weight added to required aircraft weight during ground servicing for customer comfort or service, as well as for commercial or competitive purposes. d. Potable Water e. Onboard Weight Reduction ; Catering carts and galley equipment, Duty free carts, Cargo containers and pallets, magazines and newspapers
Current Offset Programs - MBM 1. Voluntary Carbon Offset. a. Guests get to offset their carbon emission. b. REDD+ project in Voi, Kenya (The Kasigau Corridor) which is managed by Wildlife Works. 2. EU-ETS a. MRV Intra EU from 2011 for all flights to EU b. Buy credits from 2013
CORSIA - GMBM 1. Overview a. Kenya volunteered CORSIA b. 20% KQ flights covered 2. Strengths/Achievements a. Experience under EU-ETS b. Designated Fuel Management Office c. Basic software Data capture and MRV d. Improvement in Operations fuel efficiency e. Improved collaborations between KQ, Kenya CAA, Kenya Airport Authority, Environment stakeholders practice of efficient operations like CDA into JKIA
CORSIA - GMBM 3. Desired Roadmap a. Capacity building for CORSIA to various categories of airline staff and States b. Minimal costs levied on airlines c. Choice for Early Decision d. Variety of eligible units freedom of choice (type, location, price.) e. Timely specific Regulations guidance on compliance eg rebates if any-saf, projects etc f. Automated data capture and tracking Simplicity of MRV g. Fuel Management System upgrade
