ICAO 10021 PDF

INTRODUCTION 

Operational improvements, in conjunction with aircraft technology improvements, are key elements that contribute to the achievement of ICAO environmental goals and the sustainability of the aviation sector. ICAO therefore requires the thorough assessment and definition of potential environmental goals. 

The high-level purpose of operational goals is to inform decision makers of achievable environmental benefits if the potential improvements are implemented. In addition, these goals will provide valuable input into the ICAO Committee on Aviation Environmental Protection (CAEP)‘s environmental trend assessment process through its Modelling and Databases Group (MDG).
