Cebu Pacific has selected a solution from
OpenAirlines to help it save fuel and reduce carbon dioxide
emissions.
Under the agreement, OpenAirlines’
SkyBreathe software will continuously analyze the flight data of all 57
aircraft on Cebu Pacific’s fleet (7 Airbus A319, 36 Airbus A320, 6
Airbus A330 and 8 ATR 72-500) and the upcoming 48 on order (32
Airbus A321neo and 16 ATR 72-600).
On each flight,
SkyBreathe analyzes multiple sources of data to help the airline implement a
fuel-saving plan.
“Cebu Pacific offers flights
to an extensive network of more than 90 routes on 64 destinations,
spanning Asia, Australia, the Middle East, and USA,” said Lance Gokongwei, Cebu Pacific
President and CEO. “With more than
12,000 flights per month, all the data automatically collected by SkyBreathe will help us save time and achieve the best fuel
economy. Fuel is a significant factor in an airlines’ operations,
accounting for 20-40% of the cost. With this new fuel
program, our passengers can continue to enjoy the lowest fares
possible for their flights.”
Alexandre Feray,
OpenAirlines CEO, said, “With 18 airlines on all continents now using our
system, OpenAirlines has become the fastest growing fuel
preservation software provider and the number one provider among
low cost airlines. This deal also marks a cornerstone in our Asian
development, being the first one inked by our recently opened
sales and support offices in Hong Kong.”
