Britain and Google trial flight path adjustments
Britain and Google are testing changing the routes of hundreds of flights over the Northeast Atlantic during the winter season to reduce the impact of aviation on the climate. The experiment, which will last thirty months and is titled "Operation Blue Sky," involves directing some flights to alter their altitude by up to 610 meters to avoid areas where jet stream patterns cause the accumulation of ice crystals that may contribute to global warming. The trial will include around 10,000 aircraft, with the routes of hundreds of them being adjusted, in order to demonstrate a statistically significant reduction in the effects of contrail formation. These minor altitude adjustments are within standard flight operations and are coordinated with air traffic control.
