00:00 I want to have a roundtable between our authorities, CAM,
00:05 and also all the airlines to look at how do we put in place
00:10 some of the new policies,
00:12 and a lot of that are actually operational procedures.
00:17 How do we change the operational procedures?
00:20 For example, in terms of our air traffic management,
00:23 how do we make it more efficient?
00:25 A lot of airlines give the feedback
00:29 that sometimes in terms of the efficiency
00:32 of the air traffic management,
00:33 that is a major part for them as well.
00:36 Because if we have a better
00:38 and more efficient air traffic management,
00:40 it will take shorter time to land.
00:43 Shorter time means less fuel.
00:47 So if you can burn less fuel, then operational efficiency.
00:51 They can cut down their costs
00:52 and also cut down the emission.
00:53 So everyone must come together
00:56 because currently the approach is that
00:57 airlines are doing their own stuff.
01:00 Every airline has their own ways of reducing emissions,
01:03 but piecemeal.
01:05 So we try to bring everyone together
01:07 to have a national action plan.
