| | American Airlines, Google AI significantly reduce contrails | American Airlines and Google have demonstrated significant climate impact reduction by using an AI forecasting tool to prevent contrails. The tool predicts where contrails are likely to form, allowing pilots to alter altitudes or routes. In a trial involving 2,400 flights from the US to Europe, flights using the tool produced 62% fewer contrails, reducing climate change by 69%. The trial, conducted with Contrails.org and Flightkeys, showed no significant increase in fuel usage. American Airlines is not yet routinely using contrail avoidance but plans further studies. |
