Airline giant Cebu Pacific expanded its fleet in October with three new aircraft deliveries to meet rising air travel demand and fuel its network growth.

The additions included two A321neo jets, received on Oct. 23 and 30, and an A320ceo on Oct. 28, bringing Cebu Pacific’s 2024 deliveries to 15 aircraft. 

The A321neo models are designed for efficiency, using 15 percent less fuel and generating less noise, reducing their environmental impact. 

Earlier this month, the carrier signed a historic $24-billion deal with Airbus and Pratt & Whitney for up to 152 A321neo aircraft, marking the largest purchase in Philippine aviation history.  

Management's view 

“We’re excited to expand our fleet with these additional aircraft ahead of the peak travel season in December,” said Xander Lao, Cebu Pacific president and chief commercial officer.

“These deliveries are a key part of our continuous efforts to expand routes and enhance our service, allowing us to better serve the increasing number of travelers,” he added. 

CEB boasts one of the youngest fleets globally, with a versatile mix of nine Airbus 330s, 40 Airbus 320s, 24 Airbus 321s, and 15 ATR turboprops, supporting the widest network coverage across the Philippines.
