FLEET - Cebu Pacific orders 70 A321neo

Cebu Pacific of the Philippines has placed a firm order with Airbus for 70 A321neo, finalising an MoU announced by the airline in July. The purchase agreement was signed in Manila by Mike Szucs, CEO of Cebu Pacific and Benoît de Saint-Exupéry, EVP Sales of the Commercial Aircraft business at Airbus.


Mike Szucs said: “The selection of Airbus A321neo underscores our focus on operational efficiency, sustainability, and innovation, ensuring that we continue to deliver the highest standards of service while significantly reducing our carbon footprint. This milestone signals our ongoing dedication to expanding air travel accessibility and affordability, while supporting the Philippine’s broader economic growth and connectivity goals.”
Benoît de Saint-Exupéry said: “The A320 Family has supported Cebu Pacific’s domestic and short-haul international network growth over the last two decades. We’re grateful to the airline for its continued endorsement of our best selling single-aisle product line. The A321neo is highly regarded for its unparalleled economics, performance and fuel efficiency. We’re confident that these additional A321neo aircraft will contribute strongly to the all-Airbus operator’s next phase of expansion as one of Asia-Pacific’s leading low cost carriers.”
Cebu Pacific operates 61 A320 Family aircraft on its extensive regional network. In addition it flies nine A330 widebodies on high density routes in the region, as well as to destinations in the Middle East. Following the latest order, the airline’s backlog with Airbus now stands at 94 A320neo Family aircraft and seven A330neo.
The A321neo is the largest member of Airbus’ best-selling A320neo Family, offering unparalleled range and performance. By incorporating new generation engines and Sharklets, the A321neo brings a 50% noise reduction and more than 20% fuel savings and CO₂ reduction compared to previous generation single-aisle aircraft, while maximising passenger comfort in the widest single-aisle cabin in the sky.
To date more than 6,500 A321neo have been ordered by more than 90 customers across the globe.

FLEET - Philippines' Cebu Pacific soon to place A320N order

Cebu Pacific Air (5J, Manila Ninoy Aquino International) is closing in on an aircraft order for as many as 150 A320neo-type aircraft, according to Bloomberg. But the all Airbus operator says while an order is in the works, no final commitment has been made.

In October, ch-aviation reported that the Filippino LCC was preparing to issue a request for proposals seeking between 100 and 150 aircraft. In January, via a stock exchange filing, Cebu Pacific confirmed preparations to place an order were underway.

While a longtime Airbus customer, CEO Mike Szucs had previously said that he would be happy to place an order with ALBOE-o if their offer better met the carrier's needs. He also added that he had no interest in splitting the order between different manufacturers.

"The company confirms that discussions and negotiations are ongoing with regards to a fleet order. This potential transaction is still in the closing stages and no final order has been made," Cebu Pacific said in a statement in response to the June 13 Bloomberg report.

That report, citing unnamed sources close to talks, suggested the upcoming Farnborough Air Show was shaping up to be the likely spot to announce the order. The report said it would be awarded to Airbus and be for the A320N-type. If correct, it will be the largest aircraft order by any Philippines-based airline.

According to ch-aviation fleets data, Cebu Pacific operates a fleet of 68 aircraft, including nineteen A320-200s, eighteen A320-200Ns, seven A321-200s, fourteen A321-200NX, two A330-300s, and eight A330-900Ns. The airline also has an outstanding order book comprising eight A320-200Ns, nine A321-200NX, ten A321-200NY(XLR)s, and eight A330-900Ns. Cebu Pacific also operates a subsidiary airline called Cebgo (DG, Manila Ninoy Aquino International), which operates ATR - Avions de Transport Régional turboprops.

Last month, Szucs told an investor's briefing that Cebu Pacific would focus on flights within a four-hour radius of the Philippines, giving it a catchment area comprising two billion people. He said he had no real interest in pursuing a long-haul strategy, and existing flights beyond that four-hour range (to Dubai International, Melbourne Tullamarine, and Sydney Kingsford Smith) were network outliers.

Cebu Pacific receives first A330neo

Manila, 29 November 2021 – Cebu Pacific has taken delivery of its first A330neo as it begins its widebody fleet modernisation programme.

The aircraft is configured with 459 seats in single-class layout and will be operated by the airline on trunk routes within the Philippines and the rest of Asia, as well as on longer range services to Australia and the Middle East. The A330neo offers versatility for a wide range of routes from shorter regional services to medium and long haul operations.

Altogether Cebu Pacific has ordered 16 A330neo, and also has 16 A320neo and 22 A321neo outstanding to be delivered. The low-cost carrier currently operates 50 Airbus aircraft, comprising 43 A320 Family and 7 A330ceo.

The aircraft is powered by Rolls-Royce’s latest-generation Trent 7000 engines and features a new composite wing with increased span for enhanced aerodynamics.

The A330neo brings a step change in efficiency, consuming 25% less fuel than previous generation aircraft and a similar reduction in CO2 emissions. The outstanding efficiency of the A330neo also ensures compliance with current and future sustainability requirements in terms of noise and emissions

With an order book of more than 1,800 aircraft at the end of October 2021, the A330 remains the most popular widebody family aircraft of all time.

Cebu Pacific finalises order for 16 A330neo

Cebu Pacific (CEB), a carrier based in the Philippines, has signed a firm order with Airbus for 16 long-range A330neo aircraft. The order firms up the wide-body portion of a previously announced Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), which also includes commitments for 10 A321XLR and five A320neo single-aisle aircraft.

The A330neo ordered by Cebu Pacific is a higher-capacity version of the A330-900, with up to 460 seats in a single-class configuration. Cebu Pacific plans to operate the aircraft on trunk routes within the Philippines and the rest of Asia, as well as on longer range services to Australia and the Middle East.

Lance Gokongwei, Cebu Pacific President and CEO said: “The A330neo is integral to our fleet modernisation programme. With this purchase, we aim to reduce our fuel emission and build a more sustainable operation. This will also give us the lowest cost per seat, at the same time enabling CEB to increase seat capacity and maximise valuable airport slots in Manila and other Asian megacities.”

Christian Scherer, Airbus Chief Commercial Officer commented: “Cebu Pacific is a pace-setter and surely one of the most respected and well managed airlines in the low-cost sector. This new order is another important endorsement for the value-based proposition that the A330neo brings to highly competitive markets. The increased capacity version of the aircraft developed for Cebu Pacific will help achieve even greater efficiencies for high density regional and long range routes.”

The A330neo Family builds on the proven economics, versatility and reliability of the existing A330 Family. Incorporating the latest-generation Trent 7000 engines from Rolls-Royce and a new wing, the aircraft offers a reduction in fuel consumption of 25% compared with older generation competing products as well as an extended range capability of up to 8,000 nautical miles / 15,000 kilometres.



The A330neo cabin provides the comfort of Airspace by Airbus amenities, including state-of-the-art passenger in-flight entertainment and Wi-Fi connectivity systems.

Cebu Pacific orders more A321s

Seven A321ceo to meet growth on domestic and regional services

Cebu Pacific of the Philippines has placed an order with Airbus for seven A321ceo to meet ongoing strong growth on its domestic and regional network. The latest contract comes on top of an existing order for 32 A321neo. The aircraft will start joining the carrier’s fleet next year.

“We are very excited about adding the A321 to our fleet,” said Lance Gokongwei, Cebu Pacific President and CEO. “The aircraft will enable us to increase capacity on popular routes, while at the same time benefiting from the lowest operating costs in this size category. This will mean more low fares for more customers flying across our domestic and regional network.”

"We are pleased to sign this additional order with one of the most successful airlines in the Asian region,” said John Leahy, Airbus Chief Operating Officer, Customers. “With the A321 Cebu Pacific will be able to respond to growing demand with the highest levels of efficiency. Carrying more passengers further, and at lower cost, the A321 is the perfect solution to meet the requirements of airlines worldwide in the middle of the market segment.”
Manila-based Cebu Pacific is one of Asia’s leading low cost carriers. Operating domestic, regional and long haul services, the carrier flies to over 60 destinations in Asia, Australia, the Middle East and the USA. The carrier’s in-service Airbus fleet currently comprises 36 A320s and four A319s flying on domestic and regional services, plus eight widebody A330-300s operating on high capacity regional and long haul routes.




The A320 Family is the world’s best-selling single aisle product line. To date, the Family has won over 13,000 orders and more than 7,500 aircraft have been delivered to some 400 customers and operators worldwide. With one aircraft in four sizes (A318, A319, A320 and A321), the A320 Family seats from 100 to 240 passengers. The Family features the widest cabin in the single aisle market with 18” wide seats in Economy as standard.

By Linda Blachly, ATW Daily News |

Las Vegas-based Allegiant Air has agreed to purchase four additional Airbus A319s from Philippines-based low-cost carrier Cebu Pacific Air. The aircraft are scheduled for delivery in 2017 and 2018.

Allegiant previously agreed to purchase six A319s from Cebu Pacific. The company has taken delivery of three of those aircraft, with the remaining deliveries scheduled to occur later this year.

By the end of 2016, the company's in-service Airbus fleet will number 33, comprising 16 A320s and 17 A319s. Allegiant said it anticipates adding further aircraft commitments as opportunities for new transactions arise. At the end of this year, Allegiant will have a total of 85 aircraft in revenue service.

"By the end of 2016, Allegiant will be a majority Airbus carrier, as measured by available seat miles," Allegiant Travel Co. COO Jude Bricker said. "This agreement to purchase additional aircraft from Cebu Pacific is an important step in our long-term transition to a single fleet type."

Allegiant said the younger A320 family aircraft will help to increase operational efficiency in the coming years and open up new growth opportunities by making longer routes and off-peak flying profita

Cebu Pacific welcomes first aircraft with new livery

New paintwork revealed to coincide with LCC's 20th anniversary

Cebu Pacific Air has taken delivery of the first aircraft bearing its new livery.

The brand new Airbus A320 was handed over to Cebu Pacific on 22 January in a ceremony at the Airbus factory in Toulouse, France. It becomes the 34th A320 in the low-cost carrier’s fleet, and will be followed by another aircraft featuring the new livery by the end of January.

Both new single-aisle jets come equipped with 180 economy class seats and the ‘Sharklet’ wing-tip extensions that are designed to save fuel.

“As we look to celebrate the airline’s 20th anniversary this year, we proudly welcome this addition to our fleet which features Cebu Pacific’s new logo,” said Atty JR Mantaring, Cebu Pacific’s vice president of corporate affairs.

“The plane’s refreshed livery signifies the airline’s growth and evolution from pioneering low-cost travel in the Philippines, to successfully growing its flight operations across key domestic and international markets today.”

By the end of January 2016, Cebu Pacific’s fleet will comprise 35 A320s, eight smaller A319, six long-haul A330s and eight ATR 72-500 turboprops. And by 2021, Cebu Pacific intends to take delivery of three more brand new A320, 30 A321neo and 16 ATR 72-600 aircraft.

Tigerair, Cebu Pacific Get Green Light for Collaboration on Flight Routes

Airlines Cebu Pacific and Tigerair have received the green light for a collaboration on flight routes, following changes to their proposed alliance, said the Competition Commission of Singapore (CCS) on Tuesday (Sep. 22).

In the revised agreement, the budget carriers will coordinate connecting times in their booking systems for interline journeys, where passengers need to travel on multiple airlines. The scheduling of flights will be done independently.

This means that the passengers could benefit from improved connectivity, but the airlines will not have coordinated fares.

The clearance came after Cebu Pacific and Tigerair revised their agreement to address competition concerns raised by CCS. The airlines had initially proposed to jointly operate their Singapore-Philippine routes, jointly sell their routes and cooperate in other areas including sales and marketing, distribution and airport operations.

"CCS considered that the alliance would by its nature, prevent, restrict or distort competition on the overlapping common routes," said the statutory board. The airlines operate common routes between Singapore and Manila, Singapore and Clark, and Singapore and Cebu.

CCS said that the collaboration would eliminate competition on the Singapore-Clark route as both airlines are the only competitors operating the current route. "Even though the barriers to entry are low, CCS has assessed based on industry feedback that it is unlikely for other airlines to commence operation on this generally unprofitable route in the near future," said CCS.

It also pointed out that the airlines account for more than 80 percent of market share by passengers on the Singapore-Cebu route. "While the route appears to be commercially viable and barriers to entry are low, CCS has assessed based on industry feedback that there is no indication of any likely new entrant in the next 12 months," the statutory board said. CCS added that "it would be even more unlikely for other airlines to commence operation on the route in the near future" if the collaboration went ahead.

In the revised agreement, the airlines will not coordinate for pricing, surcharges and capacity, and they will not undertake any form of revenue sharing on the Singapore-Clark and Singapore-Cebu routes.

Earlier in 2014, Tigerair had divested its 40 percent interest in loss-making Tigerair Philippines to Cebu Pacific for US$7 million (S$8.9 million) in a bid to form a wide-ranging strategic alliance. The divestment resulted in Cebu Pacific gaining full ownership of Tigerair Philippines.
