Emirates selects GE Aviation's FLOW management system

Emirates announced it selected GE Aviation's FLOW management system for a 16-month validation at Dubai International Airport to commence in Jul-2012. The flow system is expected to assist the airline to reduce fuel and delay costs while also improving passenger connections at Dubai International by "sequencing and spacing the company's arrivals according to Emirates' commercial priorities". GE Aviation will provide the installation, integration and service of the FLOW system. Emirates divisional senior vice president of flight operations Alan Stealey said, "we anticipate that GE's flow system will bring significant enhancements to our arrival flow in Dubai, leading to an increased aircraft landing rate and runway utilisation. This will improve efficiency, reduce fuel burn and add to our passenger connectivity
