This includes the historic order of engines for up to 152 A321neo aircraft announced in July 2024.

Cebu Pacific currently operates 56 Pratt & Whitney powered aircraft. Prior to GTF engines, Pratt & Whitney supplied JT8D engines for the airline’s DC-9 aircraft fleet. The aerospace engine manufacturer and Cebu Pacific’s relationship extends back to the 1990s.

“Maintaining the performance and efficiency of our fleet is a top priority,” said Mike Szucs, CEO of Cebu Pacific. 

“The GTF engine has enabled up to 20% reduction in fuel burn compared to previous-generation engines – translating into meaningful savings in fuel efficiency, lower emissions and reduced operating costs. This agreement strengthens our ability to scale sustainably while continuing to deliver on our commitments to passengers,” Szucs said.
