“We’re excited to expand our A330neo operations to more Philippine destinations, as this allows us to offer more seats, lower fares, and an even more comfortable travel experience for our passengers. By increasing capacity to key domestic routes, we not only make travel more accessible, but also help drive tourism and stimulate economic activity, creating opportunities for local communities and further supporting the growth of Philippine tourism,” said Xander Lao, President and Chief Commercial Officer of Cebu Pacific.
CEB is the largest operator of A330neo aircraft in Asia-Pacific, currently with a total of 12 aircraft of this kind in its fleet. With the arrival of its latest A330neo aircraft in July, CEB also became the first local airline to operate a 100-strong fleet.
Currently, CEB operates A330neo flights to Cebu, Davao, and General Santos, as well as several international destinations across Asia, Australia, and the United Arab Emirates.
With CEB’s A330neo flights now having a wider reach across the Philippines, more travelers will be able to experience Puerto Princesa’s rich marine life and access its stunning beaches, explore Iloilo’s sumptuous dishes and well-preserved Spanish-era landmarks, and visit Bohol, the home of the world’s smallest primate—the tarsier.
This move also aligns with CEB’s ongoing efforts to provide its passengers with improved comfort, increased capacity, and a more sustainable way to travel. With its extended range and high seating capability, the A330neo allows the airline to optimize operations on both high-demand and strategically important routes. The A330neo provides CEB with the flexibility to serve regional, long-haul, and busy domestic routes, all while maintaining cost-efficiency.
Airbus NEOs are the latest-generation aircraft that burn up to 25 percent less fuel per flight and produce less noise compared to the previous generation. The decrease 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 fleet mix of 12 Airbus A330s, 40 Airbus A320s, 26 Airbus A321s, and 22 ATR turboprop aircraft, enabling the widest network coverage in the Philippines.
