ASPIRE Background ASPIRE joint statement was signed by the FAA, AirServices Australia, and Airways New Zealand in February 2008 The founding ASPIRE partners considered expansion to Asian ANSPs critical to ASPIRE success in the APAC region Japan (JCAB) joined in 2009 and Singapore (CAAS) joined in 2010 Thailand (AEROTHAI) joined in June 2011 4

ASPIRE-Daily ASPIRE Partners established ASPIRE-Daily to increase awareness and utilization of best practices in the Asia- Pacific region by identifying and publishing ASPIRE- Daily city pairs where three or more fuel-saving best practices are available on a daily basis. 7
ASPIRE Best Practices Asia and Pacific procedures, practices or services that have demonstrated success in the reduction of fuel burn and emissions Best practices for ASPIRE are: User-Preferred Routes (UPRs) Dynamic Airborne Reroute Procedure (DARP) 30/30 Reduced Oceanic Separation Time-Based Arrivals Management Arrivals Optimization Departure Optimization Surface Movement Optimization Network Optimization 8
Star Rating ASPIRE-Daily city pairs are certified with a star rating system based on the number of best-practice procedures available Number of Best Practices Star Rating 3-4 5-6 7 or more 9

International Air Transportation Association (IATA) Participation ASPIRE partners have an agreement with IATA Asia Pacific for assessment and validation of the ASPIRE- Daily best practices, city pair nominations and star ratings IATA validation and endorsement is of critical value to the authenticity and acceptance of the program and star rating system 11
Next Steps ASPIRE is seeking to expand the partnership by encouraging airlines and ANSPs who share our environmental values to become ASPIRE partners Airports Fiji, Cathay Pacific and Emirates are all in the process of becoming ASPIRE partners ASPIRE also recognises that there needs to be a greater effort on our part to better align our activities with CANSO, both at the regional level and globally through the CANSO Environmental Working Group 12
