Over the last 10 years there have been many improvements in the development and availability of high-performance hardware and software for data processing in the field of civil aviation. In addition, the transmission media (SATCOM, UMTS, ...) and their performance (bandwidth, data rates, etc.) have increased to a level that enables users in civil aviation to exchange information virtually in real time. On the basis of these developments, the challenges in the practical technical implementation as well as the accumulated engineering experience are to be analyzed, which enable an integrated solution for sustainable (ecological and economical) flight operations in the area of fuel consumption, mission planning, maintenance, passenger handling and ground handling.
