Cebu Pacific Air, the Philippines' largest
airline, launched its first A320 equipped
with Sharklets last January 21, 2013 during
a ceremony in Manila, thus becoming the
first operator of the new fuel-saving wing tip
devices in the Philippines.
Sharklets are newly designed wing-tip
devices allowing airlines to reduce fuel burn
by up to 4% on longer sectors. They are an
option on new-build A320 Family aircraft,
and are standard on all members of the
A320neo Family. CEB today operates 34
A320 Family aircraft, and has 30 A321neo
on order.
“
In line with our strategy to operate the
youngest, most modern fleet possible, we
are delighted to become one of the first
airlines in the world to introduce the A320
with Sharklets,” says Lance Gokongwei,
CEB President and CEO. “Thanks to the 4%
fuel savings offered by the Sharklets, we
will further benefit from the A320 Family’s
unbeatable operating costs, making sure we
remain competitive by offering low fares,
together with the most extensive route
network, to our passengers.”
“
Cebu Pacific is one of the great success
stories in the Asian low cost market," said
John Leahy, Airbus Chief Operating Officer
–
Customers. "The additional economic and
environmental efficiencies offered by the
Sharklet-fitted version of the A320 will enable
the airline to benefit from even lower operating
costs and further enhance its competitive
position in the fast-growing Asian market.”
Sharklets are made from lightweight
composites and are 2.4m tall. Cutting
airlines’ fuel bills by around 4%, Sharklets
offer the flexibility to A320 Family operators
of either adding around 100 nautical miles
more range or allowing increased payload
capability of up to 450kg.
