Abstract: Contrail cirrus significantly influence aviation’s radiative forcing and contribute to the resulting climate effect. Several operational strategies have been investigated and are expected to reduce the environmental impact of contrails. For instance, flight routes can be modified spatially to avoid ice-supersaturated regions, thus the formation of contrails. Alternatively, flights can be rescheduled to other time slots when the time-dependent effect of contrails is reduced.
