New Approach to Emergency Cabin Oxygen Could Cut Fuel Burn
Limitations of current emergency oxygen systems and safety concerns over some countries, like Afghanistan, are forcing airlines to fly longer-routes.

Military and political tensions in countries such as Afghanistan, Belarus, and Ukraine continue to cause operational headaches for airlines that are obliged to fly grossly inefficient diversions to avoid potentially dangerous airspace. Further impacting their operational flexibility in these situations are the limitations of current emergency oxygen systems for passengers when a rapid descent has to be made while avoiding the risk of hypoxia.
