The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) has announced that, as of September 25, RVSM is now in effect in the airspace above the Africa-Indian Ocean (AFI) Region.

ICAO estimates that the reduction in fuel burn in the region will result in annual savings of $85 million and an annual reduction of 250,000 tons of carbon dioxide. It said the six additional flight levels between 29,000 and 41,000 feet will increase the overall efficiency of airspace management, leading to better on-time performance and fewer delays on the major air traffic routes between Africa and other regions.
