Cebu Pacific on Thursday continued to expand its fleet with the arrival of its fifth new aircraft for 2024.
“Adding another NEO aircraft to our growing fleet supports our goal of reducing our carbon footprint,” Alex Reyes, CEB chief strategy officer, said.
“We’re proud to take a more proactive approach in minimizing our environmental impact, all the while addressing the ongoing demand for air travel,” he added.
CEB operates one of the youngest fleets in the world, with its diversified commercial fleet 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 earlier aircraft models.
The reduction in fuel consumption leads to a corresponding reduction in aircraft carbon emissions.
The airline flies to 35 domestic and 24 international destinations across Asia, Australia, and the Middle East.
The airline earlier reported net income of P2.24 billion in the first quarter, up 108 percent from P939 million in the same period last year.
Cebu Pacific generated revenue of P25.3 billion in the first three months, a 21-percent increase from previous year.
From January to March, Cebu Pacific flew over 5.5 million passengers, a 14-percent increase from the same period last year and a 3-percent expansion from the preceding quarter.
