  4. Aircraft Operations & TechnologySwiss has reduced it fuel consumption by 16% since 2002 from 4.5 to 3.8 litres per 100 passenger-kilometers- Operating a young and advanced aircraft fleet- Lighter components even down to catering carts- Taxi with one engine instead of two- Use of land based auxillary power instead of on-board • – Swiss WorldCargo JFK - LIIEA Green Meeting Nov.12, 2009

  5. Passenger Handling & Carbon Footprint • -’Voluntary Carbon Offsets’ program enables passengers to calculate the volume of CO2 emissions generated when they travel and pay a voluntary supplement on top of their airfare which will go to the Swiss based ‘myclimate foundation’ to fund approved carbon offset projects • Mobile Boarding Pass allows customers to use our Web Check-in service and have their boarding pass sent directly to their internet enabled mobile telephone via SMS or e-mail resulting in removing the need to print a boarding pass Swiss WorldCargo JFK - LIIEA Green Meeting Nov.12, 2009

  6. Cargo & Document Handling via E-Freight Swiss WorldCargo JFK - LIIEA Green Meeting Nov.12, 2009

  7. The Best Reasons for E-Freight • Industry cost savings of between US$3.1 billion and US$4.9 billion annually, depending on the level of adoption • - Speed: reduction in transfer time by 24 hours • Accuracy: Electronic document auto population eliminates manual entry errors • Visibility: Electronic messages allow for online tracking and tracing • Better for the environment: IATA e-freight will eliminate more that 7,800 tons of paper documents, the equivalent of 80 Boeing 747 freighters Swiss WorldCargo JFK - LIIEA Green Meeting Nov.12, 2009

  8. Status of E Freight Worldwide • 19 live countries (live = countries where e-freight shipments have been processed) • 49 live airports (live = airports where e-freight shipments have been handled) • 91 accredited stakeholders (accredited = airlines / freight forwarders who have handled e-freight shipments) • The removal of the paper Airwaybill is a core component of IATA e-freight and the legal framework is in place to allow it . • A Task Force comprising airlines and freight forwarders defined the e-AWB specs • E-AWB Proofs of Concept are under way i.e. the paper AWB is already removed on some e-freight trade lanes (e.g. AMS-SIN, HKG-AMS) • Legal agreement of FIATA (forwarders) pending (only wording) • 13 documents have been replaced by electronic messaging standards Swiss WorldCargo JFK - LIIEA Green Meeting Nov.12, 2009
