GPS upgrade could cut airline fuel and delays nationwide
The switch to a satellite based NextGen GPS network could trim fuel use and delays, saving airlines billions. FAA projections show potential annual fuel savings of over 10 billion dollars by 2025 and major efficiency gains, though funding and rollout delays push full implementation into the early 2020s. Southwest Airlines plans a 175 million dollar GPS retrofit for 500 planes, enabling quicker landings and faster ground times.
