RESEARCHANDINTERNALSERVICES AirTransportandEnergyEciency The well being of the airline industry hinges significantly on the price fluctuaons of the price of crude oil. Consequently in July of 2008,whenthepriceforcrudeoilreachedan historicalhighlevelof147dollarsperbarrel, theindustrysueredtremendously.Although priceshavedeclinedsubstanallysincethen, about 50 percent, many airlines are con cerned about future price spikes that might occurwhenglobaldemandforcrudeoilisre stored.Energysecurity,withreliableandade quatesupplyofenergyatareasonablecost,is anincreasingworryforairlines. In face of these challenges, the Internaonal CivilAviaonOrganizaon(ICAO)emphasized atits36thSessionoftheAssemblyin2007,a proacve approach relang to alternave fuels, by recognizing “the importance of re searchanddevelopmentinfueleciencyand alternave fuels for aviaon that will enable internaonal air transport operaons with a lowerenvironmentalimpact”.

Air Carrier Advisory System for World Bank Staff Air Travel The Bank has been developing an evaluaon tool for assessment of the risks associated with air travel by Bank staff since FY 2008. The air carrier advisory system developed by the Bank’s General Service Department and TWITR was tested during FY10, and is ready for launch in FY11. The advisory service is based on the following criteria with three categories of airlines: Category Descripon Recommendaon 1 All airlines that are industry cerfied by having passed an IATA IOSA audit, unless subsequent safety experience indicates a safety problem. 2 All airlines that though they are not industry cer-‐ fied are either licensed by a country with an FAA IASA rang of Category 1, or are known to the Bank as safe carriers. 3 All airlines that are not in (1) or (2) above, or are on any blacklists, or are deemed to be unsafe for other reasons. Good to fly. The Bank has no objecon to using these airlines. Good to fly. The Bank has no objecon to using these airlines. 3a. Airlines that do not qualify for category 1 or 2, but there is no informaon known about them that would increase the risk factor. 3b. Airlines that have 1 of the 4 risk criteria listed below, or some other safety factor that has been raised by the Bank's air transport specialist. Check to see if there are any viable and safer transport alternaves before se-lecng this airline for mission travel. 3c. Airlines with significantly elevated risk and 2 or more of the 4 risk criteria listed below, or some other safety factor that has been raised by the Bank's air transport specialist. RESEARCH AND INTERNAL SERVICES Risk Criteria: Use only for essenal missions and only if no viable and safer transport alternaves are available. Serious accident in the last 3 years (defined as any incident that results in injury or death of a passen-ger or substanal damage to the aircra) Registered in a country with poor oversight (based solely on ICAO safety audit) A flag of convenience airline (an airline that is registered and maintained in a country other than where it operates) Use of aircra over 20 years old Overall there were 182’843 flights booked by American Express for Bank Staff in FY 2012. Most of the flights booked by Bank staff are with airlines that considered to be Good to fly. Less than one percent (1,215 flights) of the flights were on airlines considered Category 3, (There may have been many more, as the data did not capture trip arranged in the regions.) Travelers should be aware that surface transporta-‐ on may be impossible or may represent more risk than air travel in some client countries. TWITR will connue to provide ongoing assessments and safety advice for air travel of Bank staff. Contact Person is Nora Weisskopf at nweisskopf@worldbank.org 42
