I don't think so how CEBU PACIFIC got the 4th slot hehehehe the service not good at all, and every time you book online at cebu pacific a lot of hidden charges will be added to your fare....example. manila to kalibo Php 999.00 one way but the end of the booking you make it will cost the total amount of Php 1,738.48 in this amount insurance is included but in this price only hand carry baggage are allowed the 15 kilos baggage is NOT FREE OF CHARGE...this airline is not a budget airline anymore
I love flying with Cebu Pacific i often fly with this airline kasi they have the most number of domestic destination being served.. I hope one day PAL and CP will dominate the airline industry in the world...
Pinoyaggie: They don't give you estimated time but let you wait for as long as the real airplane showed up? What kind of customer service is that? Also, If and when you missed your connecting flight, I am pretty sure you received hotel and foods vouchers to stay at Holiday Inn near Narita Airport because that's what we do? Cebu Pacific never offer food while we were waiting for 6-7hours at domestic airport.
I talked to the counter rep in Seattle but they have attitudes and keep telling me to talk to someone when I arrive in Tokyo. I told them I cant stay in a hotel for a day because I have a flight to catch for Boracay. I was trying them to rebook me to another airline to make it on time to Manila. Korean Air or Eva air maybe. But it was worked out in Tokyo. When we took off from Seattle, Tokyo already arranged our connecting flights so we can get to our destinations on time. I am impressed.
@modela45 Then choose Philippine Airlines you have a choice Cebu Pacific is a budget airline thats why there airfare is cheap it does not include hotels and food incase of delay for whatever reason. Sometimes i even only pay 1400pesos going to Gensan it so cheap so any delays im not expecting food or hotel accomodations what could a 1400 pesos could be purchased at this time maybe a 1 night stay in a cheap hotel room..lol
There is no problem if you do not have a connecting flight going to the US, but if you do... it sucks!!!!!
Any airlines that are reliable is what works for me and YES, I am traveling with Philippine Airlines and I am very pleased and happy so far even though their airfare is a little higher than Cebu Pacific but if they takes me to my destination without delay? then, yes...I would choose PAL over pathological liar airport managers and crews at Cebu Pacific.....lol
Cebu Pacific is just a pee on regional airlines and outdated schooling if you compare them to Delta Airlines, Continental, American and United airlines.... sorry, with discrimation piling because they don't treat people with disabilities with respect... Cebu Pacific is sooooo freaking lucky they are not US airlines otherwise, they would file bankruptcy because of file and file of class action lawsuit from the public and passenger....
I agree with you on how Cebu Pacific handled the disabled passengers. If that happened in the U.S., the airline will face multiple class action law suits and government fines.
Korver23: Excuse me? I work for Northwest airlines and now Delta Airlines and one of the largest airline in the world. I go to the Davao to visit my house there. I fly all over the world. CEBU Pacific delayed flight and their deceiving promotion for cheap air fare is out of hand... Good thing they don't fly in the US or else they would be ban long time ago...
I flew on Delta last December 2009 to Manila from Seattle. It was delayed 4 hours because of PA system broken on the A330-200 aircraft. They first told us that they are waiting for another aircraft to arrive and they will remove the part from that aircraft and put it into ours. If that does not work, they will replace our aircraft with another one. They finally decided to replace our aircraft after 4 hours. Missing my connecting flight from Tokyo-Nagoya-Manila.
At least Delta is honest to their passengers about the problem and or issue of the AC. Do you want to fly with a defective airplane and crash and die? Or do you rather want them to tell you honestly that there is some issues but it has to be resolve soon. But Cebu pacific employees are freaking "LIAR " They do not tell you what is going on truthfully.
I work as a commercial aircraft designer for a big aerospace company. Of course I want to fly on a safe aircraft. I was trying to point out their method: Waiting for another aircraft to come in so they can remove the part and put it into ours. I was surprised by that. They said if this don't work, they will replace our aircraft with another one. The replacement aircraft was already in the tarmac, but they still chose to wait for the aircraft coming in from Amsterdam for the replacement part.
Oh, Cebu pacific should be ban from flying. Not only they discriminate passenger but they are notorious for flight delayed... their air fare is promotion is very decieving papatayin ka sa EVAT nila. FLY PHILIPPINE AIRLINES OR THER Carrier... and boycott this air carrier.....
Just go to both companies websites. You expect to believe what people here are saying? Do some research, in this way, you will avoid biased opinions from know-all pretenders. Specifications are available so you can compare and decide for yourself which is better.
The Airbus A320 is an economical aircraft, its break even percentage is 10% less than the nearest competitor. Kaya nga yung Cebu Pacific pag bili ng A320 Family umasenso at mura pa yung pamasahe kase mura rin ang maintainance at feul efficient din ang A320. Yung Zest Air nga(Asian Spirit) unti-unting uma-asenso dahil sa A320(leased from JetBlue) at dahil sa maraming profits na natangap nila bumili pa ng MA60 with incredibly low air fare reates! The same goes with Ceb na bumili rin ng ATR72-500
I pretty much agree. Due to the marketing success of the Airbus A320 family of Cebu Pacific and Zest Air they were able to buy more planes as well.
And short news lang, the remaining 20 orders of Airbus A320-212 ng CEB will be replaced instead of 10 Airbus A330-300 aircraft for MidEast, and Australasia Routes.
Actually to be honest, I requested Cebu Pacific for an A330-200 for their Trans-Asia Routes, but they replied to me to wait if they will put it into their "yes" list, then I never heard from them anymore. I never knew that they were offering it Australia and Middle-East Routes in an A330 series 300. How sad, Anyways I saw the A330-300 When I landed back on Mactan-Cebu Int'l Airport. I was really shocked! I'm telling you the truth! I think its a technical route proving...
Actually Philippine Airlines has completed 6 Orders of Boeing 777-300ER and another 2 Lease orders. They are expected to be used during September or November this year.
It is expected to be used for Pacific Crossings to the US and the chance that they might re-open routes to Europe using the 777. Gusto rin nila sana mag expand sa New York, but because of the FAA downgrade to category 2, it is highly unlikely.
@JohnNikshMarcelo98 Philippine Airlines and Cebu Pacific, along with all other Philippine-based airlines have been banned from flying to the European Union with effect 31 March 2010.
i think the reason why they choose A320's over 737-800's is simply because they're far more safer. though agree ako sa inyo na masyado nang marami ang A320's dito sa pinas kaya sana naman yung air philippines bumili na lang sila ng 737 next-gen at huwag naman mga 2nd-hand.
Negatory on that pal......A320 is much more reliable. 737 is in the "Retiring stages" na. See the recap episode ng Air Crash Investigation, may sakit ang 737 eh ung PCU unit nya sa rudder, pwede sya kasing mag freeze at mag jam causing the aircraft to be uncontrollable.
Although yung next generation 737 they're not that expensive. They have the same price as the A320
Runway overruns are common, that's why its now obligated that all major airports will have extend there original runways for another 500m and 200m stopping way.

I think the airline who should actually acquire A330-200s is Philippine Airlines -> capable of landing in runways in Iloilo/Puerto Princesa/Zamboanga. Pwede rin yun sa long-haul flights nila. Pero may fuel stop nga lang, depende sa flight route. A330-200s can actually bridge the capacity gap between A320s and A330-300s.
PAL has several A320-214s and A319-100 in its fleet inventory. The fact is ung Airbus A330-300's range was drastically reduced because of its seating capacity is bigger than the 200 version.
And I think lang ha, Ang Flight computers ng A330 is questionable now because of the Air France 447 incident in which 228 people lost there lives.
A330-300 has much more capacity than the A330-200 type. But it sacrificed seating capacity and cargo capacity for range. Which the A330-200 is much more capable of long-range flights than the A330-300 version.
Actually ung PAL gumagamit na ng Airbus A330 and A340 sa Davao, Zamboanga, Gen San, and ofcourse Cebu.
Ang mga bagong Airports like ang Bacolod-Silay and Iloilo-Santa Barbara can also handle Airbus A330s but ang question is about ang Passenger yields. Kasi ung mga cities above are gateways to either Malaysia, Singapore, East Timor, and Indonesia.
The A380 is highly efficient and environmental friendly. Three liters per passenger per kilometer, so maximum of the plane is 555 so 3 X 555 + the kilometers traveled = to less fuel consumption. The A380 and is 5X wider than the closest competitor, can coupe so many passengers in such distances with so less environmental impact, thanks to Airbus program ECO-EFFICIENCY, anyways Airbus(all aircrafts) contributed 2% CO2 to the world
737-200 advance of Airphil are soo old. sana they stick to 737s if they change fleet. Almost all are using A319/320. wala ng kakaiba sa himpapawid, boring. I love the 737 because of its design, its more aggressive looking than the Airbuses. 737s are also "closer to the ground" parang kotse na pinalow profile(that's why they have D shape engines). It's a cool looking plane. I also love the Airbus planes though. Love ko sila lahat mga eroplano. Sana someday may mgoperate dito ng mga Embraer.
Not possible, 737-900 planes only have a maximum of 166 Seats (In 2-Class Configuration) compared to Airbus A320 and A321s which can accomodate 180 and 260 Passengers
Paki-check na lang po sa website ng Airbus. Kung PAL ang tatanungin, ang 2-class na A320 ay pwedeng magsakay ng 156 na pasahero. 180 passengers ang kaya ng A320 ng Cebu Pacific kasi wala silang business class.
The A300 seats 300 pax. So it competes directly with the 767-300ER. The A321 (a stretch version of the A320) competes with the pax capacity of the 757-200 but not range and transatlantic capability. When Boeing launched the 737-900ER, they found that it can serve the 757 market and therefore discontinue the 757. The A330 was designed to fill the gaps between the 767 and 777.
I think Embraer is a good plane as well. Sana yan na lang ginamit ng CEB for its Feeder routes to Cebu than its ATR-72. Kasi ung JetBLUE sa America Airbus A320 saka Embraer ERJ190 gamit nila eh..
I agree. And it's a new plane. A lot of airlines are using ERJ 175/190/195 for their Feeder routes. Sana Embraer nlang din kinuha ng ZestAir than the China built MA60. it's a scary aircraft.
As for the 737 Its a cool plane but its now an aging Bird. In one episode of Air Crash Investigation ung Recap episodes nila. The 737 is now considered as in the retiring stages na sya because of numerous accidents in the past 10 years. Ang Airbus A320 mas reliable pa daw because ung mga safety features nila advanced pa than the 737. Its not the looks tol, its about safety and comfort.
And BTW to add up lng, I'm not saying kung totoo talaga na kumuha na ang Air Phil. Ung sinabi ko na damage kahit pilitin mo pa na e repair o overhaul yan. There will come a time na kailangan na ang eroplano i sold for either a Broker or Scrap heap. I'm also comparing it with the Casualty rate and not marketing. So Kahit pilitin mo pa na 737 ang best most experts will say NO!
Alam ko airforce ka, pero kahit na college stdent lng ako. Kahit pilot ka hindi naman siguro tama na mas may alam ka kasi pilot ka. Diba?!Ang sinabi ko lng ay mas pa nga ang 737-800 ky sa A320. Nagkamali lng sa series. Yung may winglets better than the current A320s. Kasi ikaw din naman ang nagsabi na matanda na ang 737 ng air philippines kaysa sa A320 ng Cebu pacific
Why your are comparing the new one to the older ones. Eh halata naman sa dehado kasi may katandaan na. Bkit d mo compare sa bago?
Its being compared because of safety reasons. Last I heard pinull out na ata ng Air Phil. ang 737 fleet nila replace ng Airbus A319 and A320 versions mula sa Philippine Airlines(Leased). Because the Older the aircraft the more likely it will take damage in mid-air due to reasons like Weather, Corrosion, and Pressure. And next time yaz konting respect lang wag ka mag use ng bobo or newbie or something like that...
So you mean Ang air philippines 737-200 is safer for you? I don't think so bud. 737-200 ng Air Phil. is 1970-1980 version pa. They are not safe. And particularly 737-200 does not have a turbo-prop engine at the back....It is usually deployed if the plane looses power. Airbus A320 has that. 737-200 ng air phil does not have a Fly-by-wire system. Airbus A320 has it.
Kaya hind ikaw na nagsabi matanda na ang fleet ng Air philippines... Bobo.... Tingnan mo nga bagong 737-600.... Ano kaya magagawa ng A320 dun... Noobie.....
Respect other people's opinion. Don't call me a noobie, I'm a Airforce Pilot. And what are you? Just a regular college student? Its Competition and Airbus will just likely counter that with ther own design. Example na dun ang A380 after the 1st flight and Boeing nag release ng 747-800 version. And besides 737-600 is still old 1980 pa rin yan. I will more go likely with 737-800 correction lng.
Do not call me bobo also may pinagaralan ako and I use it.
Foul odors enter the cabin from the pneumatic bleed from the APU or engines. Typically from worn carbon seals on the engines /APU or oil, hydraulic fluid ingested by the APU inlet. Typically all pneumatic systems incorporate charcoal filters as well as ozone converters. This is not particular to Airbus only. Many airplane manufacturers incorporate ozone converters. Airbus did not develop it.
The A320 Family responds to airlines needs for optimized cabin layouts, better baggage and cargo handling, maximum operational flexibility on short- and medium-haul routes and lower operating costs that only a new-generation aircraft can offer. Fly-by-wire technology pioneered in the A320 Family and subsequently applied to the A330, A340 and A380 provide all the benefits of commonality across the Airbus product line.
The A320s 3.96-meter-wide fuselage provides wider seats and more room for carry-on baggage, and the ability to load containerized cargo in the lower hold. The A320 sets a new generation of comfort standards, with 12 first class and 138 economy class seats in the widest cabin available for single-aisle jetliners.
Airbus A320 Family sets the standards for passenger comfort, featuring the widest fuselage of any single-aisle aircraft. This provides wider seats for passengers; and a larger aisle that enables faster boarding and deplaning, as well an easier movement of passengers, cabin crew and service carts during flight.
The optimized fuselage width also gives airlines the maximum versatility in cabin layout. 1st class and business-class cabins on the A320 Family can be outfitted in 4- and f4-abreast seating with the same comfort as wide body aircraft on international routes, while a 6-abreast economy configuration accommodates the widest seats on a single-aisle airliner.
For in-flight service, cabin crews can do their jobs more efficiently and provide better service with galleys that have 40 percent more working volume and 25 percent more galley volume than other single-aisle aircraft.
Carry-on baggage is a major issue for all airlines today, and the A320 Family responds to passengers needs with large, efficiently-shaped overhead stowage compartments that are on average 40 percent longer, 20 percent higher and 20 percent deeper than those on competing aircraft. In addition, equal spacing below the seats provides greater and more practical under-seat stowage in front of each passenger.
Airbus engineers have developed a catalytic converter that removes foul odors from the air before it is pumped into a jetliners cabin. With the exhaust of aircraft and ground support vehicles prevalent on airport tarmacs, the Airbus-designed purification system filters out toxic fumes and unpleasant smells to provide passengers with clean, fresh air. U.S.-based carrier jetBlue was the first to install the system in its fleet of A320s, and it now is offered on all Airbus aircraft.
The A320 Familys advanced cockpit is virtually identical to that of the A330 and A340 wide body aircraft, and it will retain a high degree of similarity with the new 555-seat A380. A single type rating enables pilots to fly the A318, A319, A320 and A321, while transition to the larger A330, A340 and A380 is facilitated by the commonality that exists between all Airbus fly-by-wire aircraft. In fact all Airbus(except A300 and A310) have all the same cockpit controls by the "one pilot" project.

Airbus
-Not so good with marketing though,
-Safer more efficient planes compared to Boeing
-Seating is far more good than Boeing. Example 166 Seats for Boeing 737-900 counter it with the Airbus A320 and A321 which is 180 and 260 Seats

Ang mga bagong Airports like ang Bacolod-Silay and Iloilo-Santa Barbara can also handle Airbus A330s but ang question is about ang Passenger yields. Kasi ung mga cities above are gateways to either Malaysia, Singapore, East Timor, and Indonesia.

The A380 is highly efficient and environmental friendly. Three liters per passenger per kilometer, so maximum of the plane is 555 so 3 X 555 + the kilometers traveled = to less fuel consumption. The A380 and is 5X wider than the closest competitor, can coupe so many passengers in such distances with so less environmental impact, thanks to Airbus program ECO-EFFICIENCY, anyways Airbus(all aircrafts) contributed 2% CO2 to the world

737-200 advance of Airphil are soo old. sana they stick to 737s if they change fleet. Almost all are using A319/320. wala ng kakaiba sa himpapawid, boring. I love the 737 because of its design, its more aggressive looking than the Airbuses. 737s are also "closer to the ground" parang kotse na pinalow profile(that's why they have D shape engines). It's a cool looking plane. I also love the Airbus planes though. Love ko sila lahat mga eroplano. Sana someday may mgoperate dito ng mga Embraer.

kung may balak na bumili yung PAL, CEB, Airphil ng 737 sana kunin na nila new version ng 737-900, kung gusto nila yun ipangtapat sa Airbus...

Not possible, 737-900 planes only have a maximum of 166 Seats (In 2-Class Configuration) compared to Airbus A320 and A321s which can accomodate 180 and 260 Passengers
CALanceGokongwei 2 years ago
180 (A320) and 260 (A321) passengers - kung all-economy class lang nga eh. 737-900s can accommodate up to 189 passengers in all-economy class
onetruejuan 2 years ago
Actually that's in 2 Classes onetruejuan. 737-900 can accomodate 166 in two-class.
A320 and A321 has a larger capacity with 180 and correction pla sa numbers ng A321 its 210 pla. In 2 Class Configuration.
CALanceGokongwei 2 years ago
Paki-check na lang po sa website ng Airbus. Kung PAL ang tatanungin, ang 2-class na A320 ay pwedeng magsakay ng 156 na pasahero. 180 passengers ang kaya ng A320 ng Cebu Pacific kasi wala silang business class.
onetruejuan 2 years ago
By Golly ure right....But, Panalo pa rin ang Airbus sa pax capacity. Eto un
-Boeing 737-900 matches A321-200
-Boeing 737-800 matches Airbus A320
-Boeing 737-700 matches Airbus A319 and A318
Here's the Capacity 2 Class:
B737-9(166) A321(210)
B737-8(142) A320(150+)
B737-7(106) A319(124)A318(108)
If you don't know the A318 its the much more smaller A320 type aircraft.

It's more like the 757-200 matches the A321-200
pinoyaggie 2 years ago
You cannot match the 757 with A320s "it is irrelevant." Because the only thing that can match the A320 is 737.
757 currently doesn't have any competition. Matches are the following:
A320-737
A330-767
A340-777
A380-747
CALanceGokongwei 2 years ago
Oops I forgot about the A300 the closest thing to match the 757. But as of 2009 both the A300 and 757 are now out of production. So:
A300-757
:)
CALanceGokongwei 2 years ago
The A300 seats 300 pax. So it competes directly with the 767-300ER. The A321 (a stretch version of the A320) competes with the pax capacity of the 757-200 but not range and transatlantic capability. When Boeing launched the 737-900ER, they found that it can serve the 757 market and therefore discontinue the 757. The A330 was designed to fill the gaps between the 767 and 777.

It is more like this:
A318/19/20/21 - 737-600/700/800/900/900ER, 757-200
A300, A310, A330-200/300 - 757-300, 767-300ER/400ER
A340-300 - 777-200ER
A340-500 - 777-200LR
A340-600 - 747-400/777-300ER
A380 - 747-8 (not competing for pax capacity but economics)

I think Embraer is a good plane as well. Sana yan na lang ginamit ng CEB for its Feeder routes to Cebu than its ATR-72. Kasi ung JetBLUE sa America Airbus A320 saka Embraer ERJ190 gamit nila eh..
CALanceGokongwei 2 years ago
I agree. And it's a new plane. A lot of airlines are using ERJ 175/190/195 for their Feeder routes. Sana Embraer nlang din kinuha ng ZestAir than the China built MA60. it's a scary aircraft.

As for the 737 Its a cool plane but its now an aging Bird. In one episode of Air Crash Investigation ung Recap episodes nila. The 737 is now considered as in the retiring stages na sya because of numerous accidents in the past 10 years. Ang Airbus A320 mas reliable pa daw because ung mga safety features nila advanced pa than the 737. Its not the looks tol, its about safety and comfort.
CALanceGokongwei 2 years ago
And BTW to add up lng, I'm not saying kung totoo talaga na kumuha na ang Air Phil. Ung sinabi ko na damage kahit pilitin mo pa na e repair o overhaul yan. There will come a time na kailangan na ang eroplano i sold for either a Broker or Scrap heap. I'm also comparing it with the Casualty rate and not marketing. So Kahit pilitin mo pa na 737 ang best most experts will say NO!

Alam ko airforce ka, pero kahit na college stdent lng ako. Kahit pilot ka hindi naman siguro tama na mas may alam ka kasi pilot ka. Diba?!Ang sinabi ko lng ay mas pa nga ang 737-800 ky sa A320. Nagkamali lng sa series. Yung may winglets better than the current A320s. Kasi ikaw din naman ang nagsabi na matanda na ang 737 ng air philippines kaysa sa A320 ng Cebu pacific
Why your are comparing the new one to the older ones. Eh halata naman sa dehado kasi may katandaan na. Bkit d mo compare sa bago?
yazpaul 3 years ago
Its being compared because of safety reasons. Last I heard pinull out na ata ng Air Phil. ang 737 fleet nila replace ng Airbus A319 and A320 versions mula sa Philippine Airlines(Leased). Because the Older the aircraft the more likely it will take damage in mid-air due to reasons like Weather, Corrosion, and Pressure. And next time yaz konting respect lang wag ka mag use ng bobo or newbie or something like that...

So you mean Ang air philippines 737-200 is safer for you? I don't think so bud. 737-200 ng Air Phil. is 1970-1980 version pa. They are not safe. And particularly 737-200 does not have a turbo-prop engine at the back....It is usually deployed if the plane looses power. Airbus A320 has that. 737-200 ng air phil does not have a Fly-by-wire system. Airbus A320 has it.
Think twice before you post next time.

yazpaul 3 years ago
Respect other people's opinion. Don't call me a noobie, I'm a Airforce Pilot. And what are you? Just a regular college student? Its Competition and Airbus will just likely counter that with ther own design. Example na dun ang A380 after the 1st flight and Boeing nag release ng 747-800 version. And besides 737-600 is still old 1980 pa rin yan. I will more go likely with 737-800 correction lng.
Do not call me bobo also may pinagaralan ako and I use it.

737-600 is not old, it was first delivered by Boeing in 1998 to SAS. It's part of the 737NG family of airplanes.

Foul odors enter the cabin from the pneumatic bleed from the APU or engines. Typically from worn carbon seals on the engines /APU or oil, hydraulic fluid ingested by the APU inlet. Typically all pneumatic systems incorporate charcoal filters as well as ozone converters. This is not particular to Airbus only. Many airplane manufacturers incorporate ozone converters. Airbus did not develop it.

How come they say A380 consumes lesser than B747
NikshMarcelo98 3 years ago
The A380 is newer than 747 so the technology is still not that efficient when Boeing 747 was made.

The A320 Family responds to airlines needs for optimized cabin layouts, better baggage and cargo handling, maximum operational flexibility on short- and medium-haul routes and lower operating costs that only a new-generation aircraft can offer. Fly-by-wire technology pioneered in the A320 Family and subsequently applied to the A330, A340 and A380 provide all the benefits of commonality across the Airbus product line.
jewelshare 3 years ago
The A320s 3.96-meter-wide fuselage provides wider seats and more room for carry-on baggage, and the ability to load containerized cargo in the lower hold. The A320 sets a new generation of comfort standards, with 12 first class and 138 economy class seats in the widest cabin available for single-aisle jetliners.
jewelshare 3 years ago
Airbus A320 Family sets the standards for passenger comfort, featuring the widest fuselage of any single-aisle aircraft. This provides wider seats for passengers; and a larger aisle that enables faster boarding and deplaning, as well an easier movement of passengers, cabin crew and service carts during flight.
jewelshare 3 years ago
The optimized fuselage width also gives airlines the maximum versatility in cabin layout. 1st class and business-class cabins on the A320 Family can be outfitted in 4- and f4-abreast seating with the same comfort as wide body aircraft on international routes, while a 6-abreast economy configuration accommodates the widest seats on a single-aisle airliner.
jewelshare 3 years ago
For in-flight service, cabin crews can do their jobs more efficiently and provide better service with galleys that have 40 percent more working volume and 25 percent more galley volume than other single-aisle aircraft.
jewelshare 3 years ago
Carry-on baggage is a major issue for all airlines today, and the A320 Family responds to passengers needs with large, efficiently-shaped overhead stowage compartments that are on average 40 percent longer, 20 percent higher and 20 percent deeper than those on competing aircraft. In addition, equal spacing below the seats provides greater and more practical under-seat stowage in front of each passenger.
jewelshare 3 years ago
Another feature of the overhead stowage compartments is their ability to accommodate an optional entertainment system with deployable screens.

Airbus engineers have developed a catalytic converter that removes foul odors from the air before it is pumped into a jetliners cabin. With the exhaust of aircraft and ground support vehicles prevalent on airport tarmacs, the Airbus-designed purification system filters out toxic fumes and unpleasant smells to provide passengers with clean, fresh air. U.S.-based carrier jetBlue was the first to install the system in its fleet of A320s, and it now is offered on all Airbus aircraft.

The A320 Familys advanced cockpit is virtually identical to that of the A330 and A340 wide body aircraft, and it will retain a high degree of similarity with the new 555-seat A380. A single type rating enables pilots to fly the A318, A319, A320 and A321, while transition to the larger A330, A340 and A380 is facilitated by the commonality that exists between all Airbus fly-by-wire aircraft. In fact all Airbus(except A300 and A310) have all the same cockpit controls by the "one pilot" project.
