We studied a network of commuter flights in Europe ($<$ 300 n-miles). The analysis of the network identified several connections with very short flights (100–150 n-miles) for which legitimate alternatives may be available. The short-haul network is served by a variety of turbofan and turboprop airplanes; 12 of these airplanes have been used for environmental analysis. Flights were simulated using crowd-sourced ADS-B/Mode-S data, via filtering and other mathematical treatments. Landing and take-off emissions had to be accounted by direct simulation of the missing segments in the flight trajectory. We demonstrate that these phases of flight are essential for accounting of short-haul emissions. Analysis is provided for fuel burn, CO₂, NO_x, CO, UHC, SO_x and non-volatile particulate matter, as function of distance, altitude, city pairs. A sensitivity analysis is carried out to evaluate the effects of externalities. Finally, the continental flight network is explored with ancillary geographical information systems and identified routes that could be reviewed to reduce aviation emissions.

我们研究了欧洲的通勤航班网络（$<$300 n 英里）。对网络的分析确定了几个连接非常短的航班（100-150 n 英里），可能有合法的替代方案。短途网络由各种涡扇和涡桨飞机提供服务；其中 12 架飞机已用于环境分析。通过过滤和其他数学处理，使用众包 ADS-B/Mode-S 数据模拟飞行。着陆和起飞排放必须通过对飞行轨迹中缺失航段的直接模拟来计算。我们证明这些飞行阶段对于短途排放的核算至关重要。提供燃料燃烧、CO ₂、NO _x、CO、UHC、SO _{x 的分析}和非挥发性颗粒物，作为距离、高度、城市对的函数。进行敏感性分析以评估外部性的影响。最后，通过辅助地理信息系统探索大陆飞行网络，并确定可以审查以减少航空排放的航线。
