ArkeFly, in collaboration with Amsterdam Airport Schiphol and the National Aerospace Laboratory (NLR), has developed an alternative departure procedure for its aircraft departing from Schiphol Airport. Aircraft can fly faster when using this alternative departure procedure than they can when following the traditional departure procedures. The alternative procedure allows aircraft to retract their flaps and slats earlier, resulting in less wind resistance, which saves ArkeFly fuel and time, and consequently results in less CO2 emissions.
