Abstract
Fuel represents the biggest operational cost of an airline. In order to optimize its use, companies have been searching for new methods to reduce fuel consumption. An efficient and simple method to be applied is the redispatch en route. This method is widely used, however, there is only a small number of studies relating to its use and impact. This research aims to estimate fuel economy when the redispatch method is implemented by an airline, by understanding how relevant its use is for a company. In addition, a review of studies related to the subject and documentary research, including the consultation of sources such as ANAC that regulates the redispatch in Brazil was undertaken. The result is shown to be similar to other operational methods. The research also takes into account factors such as aircraft payload and flight range, in order to understand how they impact the final result, helping the operator to develop a more efficient flight plan with the redispatch method. Ultimately, the redispatch method was proven to be a method that is capable of increasing fuel economy for an airline throughout the year. In addition, it can also be applied in a diverse number of routes and has more advantages for an airline beyond cost savings.
