Cebu pacific, have a heart

[Monseratto]

he works for lufthansa teknik for over 11 years now and handles 3 major airlines aside from lufthansa planes. their hangar at times have cebu pac planes and he told me na hindi inuubos ng ibang pilots yung gas before they land. nakikita niya na imbes i-drain ay dinadagdagan lang yung current amount na naiwan. he says that it is a bad practice as it can lead to a flaming danger when the plane lands incorrectly and there is still too much gas on board. kaya yung ibang eroplano daw kapag medyo madami pa lamang gas ay umiikot-ikot muna bago maglanding as some if not most of us have experienced here. barkada ko yun guy. kahit ba nagaasaran o katuwaan kami sa pagkakaibigan pero i trust his advice dahil alam ko di ako ipapahamak nun pagdating sa ganyang mga bagay.

Cebu Pacific And SIA To Offer Widebody Maintenance In The Philippines
SINGAPORE AIR SHOW » 2012

Philippines carrier Cebu Pacific is starting construction of a new heavy maintenance hangar at Clark International Airport (also known as Diosdado Macapagal International Airport). The facility, which is a joint venture with SIA Engineering (SIAEC), is due to open later this year, according to Garry Kingshott, advisor to the airline’s chief executive, who spoke with AIN at the Low Cost Airlines Asia conference here in Singapore last week.

The joint venture, known as SIA Engineering (Philippines), is 65 percent owned by SIAEC, with Cebu Pacific controlling the rest. The present narrowbody hangar accommodates single-aisle aircraft with capabilities including scheduled heavy maintenance checks, airframe structural inspections, repairs, modifications, paint-stripping, painting of aircraft exteriors and nondestructive testing checks.

“Engineering and maintenance are the second largest costs after fuel, and need to be managed,” said Kingshott. SIA Engineering (Philippines) plans to build three hangars that will span 290,000 sq ft when completed.

With space at Singapore’s Changi International Airport at a premium, the facility***–which is located within 15 minutes’ flight time of Manila’s Ninoy Aquino International Airport and within four flight hours of major north Asian markets such as China, Korea, Japan and Hong Kong–is expected to offer a lower-cost maintenance alternative for airlines. Current clients include Mandala Airlines, Tiger Air and AirPhil.

Founded in the year 2000 as a joint venture of Lufthansa Technik AG and Philippine aviation service provider MacroAsia Corporation (Lucio Tan), Lufthansa Technik Philippines offers a wide range of aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) services to customers worldwide.

Some Cebu Pacific's planes are in LTP hangar, but not always. Madalas pag may kailangan ayusin dun lang napunta ng hangar yan.

^^^ Your friend didn't really answer your question about Cebu Pacific cutting corners. He just made a general statement regarding the airline industry.

^hmm.. That one hindi ko na alam. Ang alam ko lang sa piso fare is a marketing activity para mapuno yung flight. May mga fixed costs na kasi yung flight, so mas maganda kung mapuno yung flight para mabawasan yung shoulder ng airline na cost. yung mga taxes, etc.
