Cebu Pacific took delivery of its first aircraft for the year — an A330neo — marking another step in strengthening its operations and further modernizing its fleet.
The 459-seater aircraft arrived at Ninoy Aquino International Airport in Manila on March 28 and is the first of four A330neos expected to join CEB’s fleet this year. CEB is expecting a total of 7 aircraft to be delivered in 2025.
“We are thrilled to welcome our first aircraft delivery for 2025. The arrival of our latest A330neo strengthens our operational resilience, allowing us to serve more passengers while continuing to offer affordable and sustainable air travel. We look forward to bringing dream destinations closer to every Juan with this addition to our fleet,” said Xander Lao, CEB President and Chief Commercial Officer.
The A330neo provides CEB with the flexibility to serve regional and long-haul routes, as well as high-demand sectors. With increased range and capacity, the aircraft enables the airline to optimize its operations while maintaining cost efficiency.
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 operates one of the youngest fleets in the world, with its diversified commercial fleet mix of 11 Airbus 330s, 39 Airbus 320s, 26 Airbus 321s, and 15 ATR turboprop aircraft enabling the widest network coverage in the Philippines.
