Airbus NEOs are the latest-generation aircraft that burn 15 percent less fuel per flight.

CEBU Pacific (CEB), yesterday said it has received delivery of its 11th aircraft for the year, in line with its network expansion.

“We’re thrilled to welcome another aircraft to our growing fleet. This delivery supports our commitment to making air travel more accessible and can help us serve upcoming route launches in October, including Davao to Puerto Princesa and Hong Kong,” said Xander Lao, CEB president and chief commercial officer in a statement.

The 180-seater and fuel-efficient A320neo arrived at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) in Manila on September 13.

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.

CEB targets to end the year with over 24 million passengers from over 20 million passenger last year driven by the expansion of new routes and the availability of new aircraft during the fourth quarter.

As of August this year, CEB’s systemwide capacity has reached 123 percent with a total of 94 domestic and international routes.

 Lao said in August weekly flights reached 3,200.

CEB continues to launch new domestic and international routes with flights from Manila to Dong Mueang, Bangkok, and flights between Cebu to Don Mueang, Bangkok, Masbate, San Vicente, Palawan, and Osaka Japan this October.
