<<they have a good business case and are definitely going ahead. >>

A sentence which make a cold hand grip my heart!! What exactly is a "good business case" when air safety is concerned?

<<UPS, the parcel operator, have equipped their B767 and B757 fleet and using it at Louisvilles and have proved that it works - they are reducing arrival fuel burn, noise and environmental emissions. >>

OK... but how?? How can an ADS-B system reduce fuel burn, noise and environmental emissions? How could such a system produce similar results at a busy UK airport?

I am genuinely interested......
