The early stabilized approaches are less fuel efficient but the policy had advantages with insurance costs.

The constant descent approaches are the fuel saver with that ultimate aim being to glide from cruise altitude to touchdown, but in practice the power comes up to fight the drag as the aircraft is stabilized in landing configuration before 1000 ft AAL in line with company SOP.
