Cebu Pacific receives Airbus A330neo, its 16th aircraft delivery for 2024
Low cost carrier Cebu Pacific has received its 16th aircraft delivery for 2024: an Airbus A330neo.
The brand new 459-seater aircraft arrived in Manila on December 19, 2024, bringing the current total of A330neos in Cebu Pacific’s fleet to 10.
“The A330neo’s versatility and efficiency are key to our goal of providing affordable and reliable travel options for every Juan,” Xander Lao, Cebu Pacific’s President and Chief Commercial Officer said in a statement.
“This aircraft enables us to serve high-traffic routes and long-haul destinations more effectively while optimizing seat capacity to accommodate increasing demand,” Lao added.
Airbus NEOs represent the latest generation of aircraft, burning 15% less fuel per flight and producing less noise compared to their immediate predecessors. The reduction in fuel consumption leads to a corresponding reduction in aircraft carbon emissions.
In October 2024, Cebu Pacific announced that it has signed a landmark purchase agreement with Airbus and Pratt & Whitney for up to 152 A321neo aircraft, equipped with Pratt & Whitney GTF engines.
The aircraft order is the largest in Philippine aviation history, valued at approximately USD $24 billion (PHP 1.4 trillion) based on list prices.
At present, Cebu Pacific operates a commercial fleet mix of 10 Airbus 330s, 40 Airbus 320s, 25 Airbus 321s, and 15 ATR turboprop aircraft.
