European Harmonised Forecast of Adverse Weather (IP68) and European Weather Radar Composite of Convection Information (IP67) offer a common aviation weather reference across Europe. This enables optimal flight planning to avoid disruptions and delays, reducing reactive diversions, fuel burn, CO2 emissions

provision of radar data leading to: • Enhanced safety through more pro-active and less tactical weather avoidance • Greater efficiency in routing aircraft, less fuel burn • Earlier capacity and constraint management, enhancing predictability and reducing delays • More cost effective operations 2D
