Cebu Pacific on Wednesday said it took delivery of its 11th aircraft this year as part of its fleet expansion program.
The Gokongwei-led airline said the fuel-efficient, 180-seater A320neo arrived at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) in Manila on 13 September.
“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,” Xander Lao, CEB president and chief commercial officer, said.
Airbus NEOs are the latest-generation aircraft that burn 15 percent less fuel per flight and produce less noise compared to the previous generation of aircraft.
The reduction in fuel consumption leads to a corresponding reduction in aircraft carbon emissions.
Cebu Pacific earlier reported net income of P3.54 billion in the January to June period, down from P3.74 billion in the same period last year.
Group revenue for the period amounted to P51.439 billion, up 18.1 percent to P43.55 billion generated in the same period last year.
Cebu Pacific operates one of the youngest fleets in the world with a diversified commercial fleet mix of nine Airbus 330s, 40 Airbus 320s, 22 Airbus 321s, and 15 ATR turboprop aircraft enabling the widest network coverage in the Philippines.
