ABC News: Danger in the Sky: Underfueled Planes

Posted on by Robin

Apparently airlines are cutting costs by not fully fueling their aircraft so that they have to declare a state of emergency at the area they land. Less fuel = less weight = less operating costs. This also gives them priority to land at the airport, leading to a better increase in savings as there is less time spent in the air as ATC prioritses the landing.
