FedEx is saving fuel and improving aircraft efficiency through its FedEx Fuel Sense program, while continuing to invest in SAF development.

For its part, Atlas Air is driving operational efficiency with its FuelWise program, which works in conjunction with flight planning software to optimize speeds, altitudes, routes and flight path segments.
