The real savings come when this tech can be built into the airframe. The airframe can only bend and flex a certain number of times before it cracks and fails.
Todays airframes have a lifespan measured in flight hours, and an estimation is done as to how much turbulence will be hit per hour of flight. At the lifespan limit, the plane is typically scrap.
If this tech can reduce the flexing of the airframe during flight by 80%, you can probably get 5x the flight hours from the airframe before it becomes too weak to be safe (or more - half the flexing typically more than doubles the lifespan)
Alternatively, you can make the airframe thinner and lighter for the same number of operating hours (and that's what is likely to happen, since aircraft manufacturers don't want to put themselves out of business). Thinner and lighter airframe saves fuel and makes the aircraft cheaper.
