> If you know aviation, literally anything that will decrease fuel usage
Apart from writing full blown avionics systems for engine/flight control - what are you suggesting?

Edit: my reply was to the original comment which was something like "how is this a software problem?"
Do you think idling time is a software problem? Aircraft idle for various time based on other requirements and needs, for example, spooling up the engines or inerting the fuel tanks.
Routes are already optimized by air traffic for the fastest, and cheapest route. They have no incentive to increase flight times as there would be fewer aircraft flying then.
I don't have a solution for either of these things, just enough intuition as a pilot and software engineer to say "maybe there's something there".
