Cebu Pacific (CEB) took delivery of its ninth brand-new Airbus A321neo (New Engine Option) aircraft.
The Airbus 321neo is known to deliver 20 percent fuel cost savings, which would translate to even lower fares.
CEB’s transition to an all-NEO fleet is part of company’s commitment to reduce its carbon emissions and contribute to the airline’s sustainability goals.
The A321neo is more fuel-efficient with nearly 50 percent reduction in noise footprint compared to previous generation aircraft.
“We are happy to continue moving forward with our long-term fleet plan in line with our commitment to keep providing safe and affordable travel for everyJuan. Now more than ever, ensuring our operations are as efficient and sustainable as possible is of top priority and we are glad to have started with this journey even before the pandemic,” said Alex Reyes, Cebu Pacific chief strategy officer.
CEB’s newest aircraft is set to enter into service within this month to fly to various Philippine destinations across domestic network with 44 routes.
