Overview
The Efficiency and Environment section of the Aviation Intelligence (AIU) Portal is a EUROCONTROL dashboard that provides data-driven insights into the efficiency and environmental impact of European aviation.
It provides historical data on flight efficiency, fuel consumption, CO₂ emissions and air traffic management efficiency.
The portal sources its data from EUROCONTROL’s aviation databases including flight tracking systems and environmental performance assessments.
The portal provides information on the following performance indicators:
- Horizontal en-route flight efficiency.
- Vertical flight efficiency.
- Terminal holdings (ASMA).
- Taxi-out efficiency.
- Taxi-in efficiency.
The main goal of the portal is to support sustainability efforts and enhance operational efficiency in European aviation.
Users can explore interactive visualisations, key performance indicators and trend analyses to assess aviation efficiency and sustainability. The portal is designed for a wide range of stakeholders, including ANSPs, airlines, airport operators, EU policymakers and researchers, supporting efforts to improve operational efficiency and reduce aviation’s environmental footprint.
It is accessible via a web-based platform (best viewed in Chrome or Firefox), offering access for informed decision-making and strategic planning.
All the data used for the various dashboards is available for download in the corresponding download section of the AIU Portal.

Limitations
There are no significant limitations. The AIU Team strives to provide the underlying data with a high level of granularity, encouraging users to conduct their own complementary analyses.
Future Developments
After summer 2025 and guided by user feedback, the dashboards, indicators and datasets will continue to be developed and enhanced to support performance improvements in the European aviation system.
