AirArabia (AirArabia.com) (Sharjah) has selected Sharklets for 28 out of 44 A320 aircraft ordered. Deliveries of these Sharklet-equipped Airbus aircraft will begin from the second quarter of 2013.
Delivery of AirArabia’s order of 44 Airbus A320s (34 placed in 2007 and 10 in 2008) has already started in the last quarter of 2010.
Sharklets were launched for development in 2009. These new wingtip devices are around 2.5 metres tall and further enhance the efficiency of the popular A320 Family by replacing the aircraft’s current wingtip fence. Offered as an option on new-build aircraft from the end of 2012, the devices reduce fuel burn particularly over longer sectors. As well as increasing payload-range and improving take-off performance, Sharklets result in around 3.5 percent reduced fuel burn over longer sectors, corresponding to an annual CO2 reduction of around 700 tonnes per aircraft.
Air Arabia serves a network of more than 65 international routes across Europe, the Middle East, Asia and Africa.
