WORLD WORLDWIDE EUROPE ITALY - news journal UPDATE - (en) Italy, FDCA - THE ANTIDOTE* No. 1 - Costs and pollution of the aerobatic flyover (ca, de, fr, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

The flyover on June 2nd (approximately 4 tons of CO2): equivalent to the emissions produced by a medium-sized car traveling approximately 33,000 kilometers, equivalent to nearly a full orbit around the globe. ---- A complete aerobatic display (approximately 15 tons of CO2): equivalent to an average car traveling 125,000 kilometers, or the average distance covered by an Italian driver in approximately 10 years of vehicle use.

The hourly cost is EUR6,800-EUR7,000 per aircraft.
Flyover calculation: Considering that positioning and passing over the Altare della Patria lasts a fraction of an hour for each aircraft, the out-of-pocket cost of fuel and mechanical wear and tear on the fleet for the event is around EUR70,000.
The cost estimate comes directly from official statements and data provided by the Italian Ministry of Defense. This figure was reiterated by the Minister of Defense during the relevant hearings in the Chamber of Deputies (in response to specific parliamentary questions on the operating costs of the MB-339 aircraft of the National Aerobatic Team).
The environmental impact of the MB-339 jet's fuel consumption comes from: technical data sheets and operating manuals for the trainer aircraft (produced by Aermacchi, now a division of Leonardo S.p.A.) indicate the average hourly fuel consumption of the Rolls-Royce Viper 632 turbojet engine in aerobatic display mode.
