Apr 24, 2008 (newstodate): Boeing and Airbus have signed an agreement to work together to ensure global ATM interoperability as part of an effort to help reduce the impact of aviation on the environment.
The companies will seek the acceleration of improvements to the world's air transportation management system in order to boost efficiency and eliminate traffic congestion.
In the last 40 years, the aviation industry has made significant improvements in aircraft efficiency with reductions of 70 percent in CO2, 75 percent in noise and 90 percent less unburned hydrocarbons.
The Advisory Council for Aeronautics Research in Europe targets reductions of 50 percent in CO2 and 80 percent in NOx by 2020, and a modernised ATM system will be a key contributor to reaching this goal.
