Navtech flight planning for Cebu Pacific

October 05, 2009

Cebu Pacific has signed an agreement with Navtech for the use of Navtech flight planning software to further improve operating efficiencies.

Commenting on the deal, Navtech CEO Mike Hulley remarked, “Navtech combined Cebu Pacific’s mixed fleets onto a single platform, enabling our new mapping technologies and online filing functionality to support their dispatchers.”

The product enables Cebu pilots to use dynamic route construction functionality and optimised fuel burn calculations. The software also has integrated graphics and textual weather for the most efficient and optimised routes.

“CEB passengers will definitely benefit from this new technology because it allows us to sustain our low fare advantage in the market. Using this world class technology helps us to save on fuel and other operating costs, which we continue to pass on, in the form of lower fares, to our passengers,” declared Cebu’s VP for marketing and distribution, Candice Iyog.
