Cebu Pacific profits more than double in 2025 on strong travel demand

Cebu Pacific reported a sharp rise in earnings in 2025, with net income reaching P12.3 billion, more than double the previous year’s results.

The airline posted P119.9 billion in total revenue, up 14 percent year-on-year, driven by higher passenger numbers and stronger cargo operations.

Passenger revenue grew 13 percent to P80.8 billion, as Cebu Pacific carried a record 26.9 million passengers, up 10 percent from 2024. Flights were also fuller, with an average seat load factor of 84 percent. Additional income from add-ons such as baggage and seat selection reached P32 billion, a 14 percent increase.

Cargo business also performed strongly, with revenues rising 27 percent to P7.2 billion, as shipment volume increased to 215 million kilos.

The airline now operates 14 Airbus A330neo wide-body aircraft, making it the largest operator of this type in Asia. Its total fleet remained at 100 aircraft by end-2025.

Financially, Cebu Pacific reported P264.7 billion in assets and P245.7 billion in liabilities, bringing total equity to P19 billion.

Chief financial officer Mark Cezar said the strong results reflect investments in fleet modernization, efficiency, and expanded capacity, which helped offset rising maintenance and airport costs.

Looking ahead, Cebu Pacific plans to continue upgrading its fleet in 2026 by adding seven new aircraft and retiring older units, while keeping its fleet size at 100. The airline expects this to improve fuel efficiency and lower costs.

Cebu Pacific currently operates the largest network in the Philippines, serving 63 destinations—37 domestic and 26 international—across 125 routes with more than 3,200 weekly flights.
