The Gokongwei family-led Cebu Pacific reinforced its position as the Philippines’ leading carrier with the arrival of its first aircraft for 2025—an Airbus A330neo delivered on March 28 at Manila's Ninoy Aquino International Airport.

The 459-seater is the first of seven new aircraft set to join its fleet this year, including four A330neos aimed at expanding regional and long-haul operations.

With increased range, capacity, and 15 percent lower fuel burn, the aircraft enhances CEB’s ability to serve high-demand routes efficiently and sustainably.

“We are thrilled to welcome our first aircraft delivery for 2025. The arrival of our latest A330neo strengthens our operational resilience, allowing us to serve more passengers while continuing to offer affordable and sustainable air travel,” said Xander Lao, CEB president and chief commercial officer.

“We look forward to bringing dream destinations closer to every Juan with this addition to our fleet,” he added.
