Comlux The Aviation Group has become the first to retrofit an Airbus ACJ319 with sharklets. The retrofit brings a fuel savings of up to 4 percent and a corresponding range improvement. It was performed by TAP Maintenance and Engineering as part of the first such turnkey-project managed by Airbus Corporate Jets. It is also the first on any version of the A319.
