  Commercial aviation is one of the biggest contributors towards climate
change. We propose to reduce environmental impact of aviation by considering
solutions that would reduce the flight time. Specifically, we first consider
improving winds aloft forecast so that flight planners could use better
information to find routes that are efficient. Secondly, we propose an aircraft
routing method that seeks to find the fastest route to the destination by
considering uncertainty in the wind forecasts and then optimally trading-off
between exploration and exploitation.
