Cebu Pacific recently received its fifth aircraft delivery this year.
The aircraft, a fuel-efficient A320neo, arrived at Ninoy Aquino International Airport in Manila on May 21. Twelve more airc raft are slated to be delivered within the year.
“Adding another NEO aircraft to our growing fleet supports our goal of reducing our carbon footprint. We’re proud to take a more proactive approach in minimizing our environmental impact, all the while addressing the ongoing demand for air travel,” said Alex Reyes, CEB chief strategy officer said in a statement.
CEB currently operates one of the youngest fleets in the world, with its diversified commercial fleet mix of eight Airbus 330s, 39 Airbus 320s, 21 Airbus 321s, and 14 ATR turboprop aircraft enabling the widest network coverage in the Philippines.
Airbus NEOs are the latest-generation aircraft that burn 15 percent less fuel per flight compared to the previous generation. The reduction in fuel consumption leads to a corresponding reduction in aircraft carbon emissions.
In the first quarter, Cebu Pacific generated P25.3 billion in revenue up 21 percent from the previous year driven by continues increase in passenger volume.
CEB flew over 5.5 million passengers marking a 14 percent increase from the same period last year.
CEB currently flies to 35 domestic and 24 international destinations spread across Asia, Australia, and the Middle East.
