2024 Deliveries now 10
Cebu Pacific (PSE: CEB), the Philippines’ leading carrier, recently welcomed three (3) aircraft deliveries in quick succession, further boosting its operational resilience and meeting the resurgent demand for air travel.
The newly accepted aircraft touched down at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) in Manila and included an A330neo, which arrived on July 26, and an A320neo and A320ceo delivered on August 3 and 4, respectively. This brings the total number of aircraft that CEB has received so far this year to 10.
“Our continuous fleet expansion efforts underscore our commitment to provide safe, affordable, and accessible flights for every Juan. As the demand for air travel to continues to rise, we are confident that we will be able to cater to more passengers looking to connect with other people or discover new destinations with Cebu Pacific,” said Xander Lao, CEB President and Chief Commercial Officer.
Airbus NEOs are the latest-generation aircraft that burn 15 percent less fuel per flight and produce less noise compared to the previous generation. The reduction in fuel consumption leads to a corresponding reduction in aircraft carbon emissions.
On July 2, CEB announced that it has signed a binding Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Airbus for the purchase of up to 152 A321neo aircraft for USD $24 billion (PHP 1.4 trillion) based on list prices, the largest aircraft order in Philippine aviation history.
CEB operates one of the youngest fleets in the world, with its diversified commercial fleet mix of nine (9) Airbus 330s, 39 Airbus 320s, 22 Airbus 321s, and 15 ATR turboprop aircraft enabling the widest network coverage in the Philippines.
