CALCULATION ASSUMPTIONS
The core operating assumptions used to calculate the user-defined fleet business case.
Weighted average carpet area - short / medium haul
120 m²
Representative assumption for a short-haul narrow-body aircraft.
Weighted average carpet area - long haul
250 m²
Representative assumption for a long-haul wide-body aircraft.
Annual fuel-saving factor
0.44 barrels/kg
Annual barrels saved for each kilogram of installed weight removed, weighted by the selected aircraft-family mix.
Weighted annual utilisation - short / medium haul
3,200 h
Annual operating hours weighted by the selected short- and medium-haul fleet mix.
Weighted annual utilisation - long haul
4,800 h
Annual operating hours weighted by the selected long-haul fleet mix.
Base currency
USD ($)
All estimated operating-value outputs are displayed in US dollars.
Outputs are calculated consistently using the selected fleet composition, aircraft-family carpet area, installed weight reduction, annual utilization and selected oil-price scenario.

Calculation methodology
The model follows one transparent six-step sequence. Numeric operating assumptions are shown separately above.
01 - Weight reduction per area unit
500 g/m²
Current installed carpet weight minus the selected DEEP DYED Carpet construction.
02 - Installed weight by aircraft family
SH 119 m² / LH 245 m²
The weight reduction per area unit is multiplied by the carpet area of each aircraft family.
03 - Annual fuel reduction
0.44 barrels/kg
The calibrated aircraft-family fuel sensitivity is applied consistently to the installed weight removed for the selected fleet.
04 - Oil-price conversion
$82.5 per barrel
Annual barrels saved are multiplied by the midpoint of the selected oil-price range.
05 - CO2 conversion
0.43 tonnes per barrel
The calculated annual fuel saving is converted into an indicative CO2 reduction.
06 - Fleet aggregation
89 SH / 11 LH
Short-haul and long-haul results are multiplied by the entered fleet quantities and aggregated.
