    Are commercial pilots forced to go slower by airlines to slow aviation fuel burn?

    Hi Lawrence!

    Yes, airlines often ask pilots to fly at more fuel-efficient speeds to reduce costs. This is known as “cost index” flying and helps manage fuel burn without compromising safety.

    Thank you!
