Abstract:	Formation flights hold significant potential for reducing the environmental impact of aviation and offer a means to streamline airspace complexity. The selection of candidates for formation pairing among the intense traffic of continental routes (Europe to Asia) plays an important role in savings. This article enables a better understanding of how deviations from the initially planned route may impact the performance of aircraft. The fuel consumption assessment is made by trajectory simulations, allowing a comparison considering different air traffic scenarios.
