Why do planes keep circling before landing? The UN has a plan to fix it
Reported by UN News, not nibnow. We are not the publisher of this story, only the source is.
WHY IT MATTERS
Air‑traffic delays waste billions of dollars, add thousands of flying hours and increase emissions, turning routine flights into long, stressful experiences for passengers.
WHAT HAPPENED
Air traffic delays cost billions and turn journeys into ordeals. Some countries are already proving that better coordination saves thousands of flying hours and cuts emissions – and the UN’s aviation agency wants the rest of the world to follow.
WHAT TO WATCH
- •Follow ICAO’s rollout of coordinated flight‑departure guidelines across member states
- •Watch for announcements of pilots or airlines adopting the new flow‑management approach
- •Monitor reports on whether coordinated measures reduce delay costs and emissions
