written by Contributor

Cebu Pacific today took delivery of a brand-new Airbus A320neo aircraft, further strengthening its fleet with modern and fuel-efficient jets.

The aircraft arrived in Manila from Airbus’ facility in Tianjin, China, marking the second of four A320neo aircraft expected to join CEB’s fleet this year.

In total, CEB anticipates the delivery of seven NEO aircraft in 2026 as part of its ongoing fleet modernization program.

“The arrival of another Airbus A320neo reinforces our commitment to sustainability while keeping air travel accessible,” said Xander Lao, CEB President and Chief Commercial Officer. “In today’s operating environment, NEO aircraft also play an important role in helping us manage costs, improve operational efficiency, and reduce our carbon footprint.”

Airbus NEO aircraft now comprise 74% of CEB’s jet fleet. Compared to previous-generation aircraft, these aircraft burn 15-20% less fuel per flight and produce significantly less noise, contributing to lower carbon emissions and more sustainable operations.

CEB operates one of the youngest fleets in the world. Its diversified fleet mix of 14 Airbus A330s, 27 Airbus A321s, 40 Airbus A320s, and 20 ATR turboprop aircraft enables the widest network coverage in the Philippines.

Cebu Pacific named most Punctual Philippine Carrier in April 2026

written by Contributor

Cebu Pacific ranked as the top Philippine carrier for on-time performance (OTP) and fifth overall among Asia Pacific carriers in April 2026, achieving an 84.98% on-time arrival rate across over 12,000 systemwide flights based on data from London-based aviation analytics firm Cirium.

Cirium’s OTP review, considered the longest standing in the industry, measures punctuality based on aircraft arrival times. Flights are considered on time when they arrive at the gate within 15 minutes of their scheduled arrival.

“This recognition reflects the discipline and teamwork of our people across the network, who work tirelessly every day to keep our operations running efficiently. At Cebu Pacific, we remain focused on delivering operational excellence so our passengers can enjoy a smooth and reliable travel experience every time they fly with us,” said Javier Massot, CEB Chief Operations Officer.

In April 2026 alone, CEB operated over 12,000 flights across its domestic and international network and achieved a Net Promoter Score of +50, up by 27 points from the same month last year. The Net Promoter Score reflects the customers’ long-term loyalty and willingness to recommend CEB based on their overall recent flight experience.

To reaffirm its commitment to operational excellence, the airline recently inaugurated the Cebu Pacific Training Academy, a purpose-built, state-of-the-art training facility aimed at providing high-quality, hands-on, and experience-based training for prospective aviation professionals. The facility was also designed to support service consistency and operational readiness as the airline continues to expand.

CEB has also upgraded its Network Control Center into the Cebu Pacific Operations Control Center, enhancing crisis and disruption preparedness while reinforcing the airline’s shift to a more integrated, digital-first, and proactive approach to operational management. CEB currently operates in 35 domestic and 26 international destinations across Asia, Australia, and the Middle East.

Cebu Pacific Delivers Strong Q1 EBIT Driven by Record Passenger Volume

by Contributor
written by Contributor

Cebu Pacific reported a 10% year-on-year increase in total revenue for the first quarter, driven by an increase in seat capacity and sustained passenger demand.

Total revenue for the quarter rose to ₱33.3 billion, supported by a 10% increase in seat capacity and sustained passenger demand across both domestic and international markets. CEB carried 7.5 million passengers, up 8% year-on-year, while maintaining a healthy seat load factor of 83.7%, reflecting effective capacity deployment and stable travel demand.

Passenger revenue increased 6% to ₱22.5 billion, while ancillary revenue rose 19% to ₱9 billion, driven by continued improvements in ancillary yields. The airline’s cargo business also expanded, with cargo revenue growing 8% year-on-year to ₱1.8 billion, supported by higher widebody capacity.

EBITDA rose 26% year-on-year to ₱8.4 billion, while operating income increased 54% to ₱3 billion. Cost discipline and improved operating efficiencies partially offset higher operating costs associated with fleet and capacity expansion.

Core profitability improved, with core income before tax increasing to ₱1.3 billion from ₱325 million last year. Quarter-end peso depreciation resulted in non-core foreign exchange losses of ₱1.8 billion, resulting in a net loss of ₱400 million versus net income of ₱466 million in the prior year.

Cebu Pacific ended the quarter with 101 aircraft in its fleet and a strong liquidity position, closing March 2026 with over ₱23 billion in cash, providing ample flexibility to manage near-term volatility while supporting strategic initiatives. “Our first‑quarter performance reflects the strength of our network and disciplined capacity deployment,” said Mike Szucs, Chief Executive Officer of Cebu Pacific. “As we navigate a more volatile operating environment amid higher fuel prices, we are taking a more cautious and measured approach focused on margin protection, prudent capacity deployment, and liquidity preservation. Our scale, fleet efficiency, and strong domestic network position us well to navigate near-term uncertainty while continuing to build long‑term value.”

written by Contributor

Cebu Pacific on Monday unveiled its new state-of-the-art training facility for pilots and cabin crew, reinforcing the airline’s continued investment in the future of Philippine aviation industry through capacity building and operational excellence.

The Cebu Pacific Training Academy in Parañaque City is a purpose-built facility aimed at providing high-quality, hands-on, and experience-based training for prospective aviation professionals. It is one of the first centralized, modern aviation training facilities of its kind in the country.

Covering 1,685 square meters, the Cebu Pacific Training Academy is equipped with Airbus A330 and ATR door trainers, cabin mock-ups, slide trainers, as well as classrooms and equipment rooms that allow prospective pilots and cabin crew to experience scenario-based and practical training straight from the airline’s highly capable instructors.

CEB Chairman Lance Gokongwei, Chief Operations Officer Javier Massot, and Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines Director General Ret. Lt. Gen. Raul Del Rosario led the inauguration of the training facility.

“The Cebu Pacific Training Academy reflects our strong commitment and investment in the Philippines and its aviation industry. This facility allows us to stay focused on what matters most: operational excellence, service consistency, and nation-building,” said Massot.

“With this facility, we also seek to contribute meaningfully to the advancement of aviation training standards in the Philippines, and to help raise a generation of more capable and future-ready aviation professionals.”

To support aspiring aviation professionals, CEB revived its Cadet Pilot Program in 2024 in partnership with Cebu-based flight training school Airworks Aviation. The program provides prospective pilots with high-quality training, structured mentorship, and a clear pathway to employment with the airline. As of April 2026, the program has produced its second batch of pilot graduates.

CEB has also been conducting cabin crew recruitment activities across its key hubs nationwide to support its growing operations, focusing on building a pool of well-trained and service-oriented crew members.

Cebu Pacific Wins LinkedIn Best Employer Brand for Third Consecutive Year

by Contributor
written by Contributor

Cebu Pacific has been recognized as Best Employer Brand at the 2026 LinkedIn Talent Awards—marking its third consecutive win in the category for organizations with 5,000 to 10,000 employees.

The annual awards recognize organizations that excel in attracting, engaging, and developing talent, highlighting those that build meaningful and lasting connections with their workforce.

This recognition reflects CEB’s continued focus on building a strong employer brand through authentic storytelling, consistent engagement, and a clear articulation of its culture and values.

“As we mark 30 years of Cebu Pacific, we’re clear on one thing: an employer brand isn’t built through campaigns—it’s built through everyday experiences. When people are proud to work here and proud to tell others why, that’s when you know you’re getting it right,” said Felix Lopez, CEB Chief Human Resources Officer. “At Cebu Pacific, our people don’t just work here—they build communities here. That sense of belonging is something you can’t manufacture, and we choose to nurture it every day.”

At the core of this approach is CEB University, the airline’s in-house learning ecosystem. With eight specialized schools, it enables employees to continuously build skills, deepen expertise, and pursue defined career pathways across different functions and leadership levels.

Another key part of its culture is the presence of 16 Juan CEB Communities (JCC)—self-organized, employee-led groups centered on shared interests and advocacies. These communities foster connection, inclusion, and purpose across the organization. One example is EmpowHER, which champions the growth and advancement of women through mentorship, collaboration, and leadership opportunities.

CEB is also deepening its contribution to nation-building through its Juan Flight Closer to Home program, launched in May 2025. The initiative aims to encourage overseas Filipino aviation professionals to return home and continue their careers in the Philippines, bringing back global expertise while reconnecting with family and community. By opening pathways for Filipino talent abroad, the airline is helping strengthen the local aviation industry. CEB operates flights to 35 domestic and 26 international destinations across Asia, Australia, and the Middle East, and continues to invest in its people as a cornerstone of its long-term strategy.

Cebu Pacific ranks among World’s Most Sustainable Airlines

by Contributor
written by Contributor

Cebu Pacific has been recognized as one of the world’s top-performing airlines for sustainability in the latest S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA).

The airline ranked within the top 25% globally and emerged as the most sustainable Philippine carrier, with a score of 47—well above the industry average of 37 and higher than most low-cost peers. The CSA measures how companies manage their impact on the environment, care for their employees and communities, and uphold responsible business practices.

“We continue to take a disciplined and proactive approach to sustainability as we expand our operations,” said Aileen Isidro, CEB Vice President for Corporate Strategy and Risk Officer. “The improvement in our S&P Global CSA score reflects how we’ve embedded sustainability into how we grow, operate, and govern.”

CEB’s latest Integrated Report reported progress across its ESG initiatives, contributing to its improved CSA performance.

In 2025, the airline served nearly 27 million passengers and operated over 170,000 flights, showing that sustainability gains can be achieved even as operations expand. During the same period, CEB avoided approximately 35,000 tonnes of carbon emissions and saved around 11,000 tonnes of jet fuel through fleet modernization and operational efficiencies.

It also reduced carbon emissions to 75.7 grams of CO₂ per revenue passenger kilometer (RPK), with lower emissions per passenger even as travel demand increased. CEB continues to build on this progress through its long-term goal of operating an all-NEO (New Engine Option) fleet by 2030, alongside expanding the deployment of electric ground support equipment (GSE) across key airports.

Beyond environmental efforts, CEB continues to invest in its people. Women now make up 51% of management roles, exceeding the Philippine average of 44%, while ongoing programs in training, employee engagement, and mental health support aim to strengthen workforce resilience and service quality.

The carrier also maintains strong governance practices, supported by enhanced anti-corruption measures, strict compliance systems, and clear accountability across its operations and partnerships.

These initiatives resulted in CEB’s improving customer experience. The airline recorded a Net Promoter Score (NPS) of +35, up seven points from previous year, alongside gains in service areas such as boarding, baggage handling, and inflight service, signaling stronger passenger satisfaction.

Following a strong performance in 2025, CEB is building momentum as it celebrates its 30th anniversary, with a continued focus on expanding affordable air travel while advancing its sustainability commitments. Access CEB’s Integrated Report here: 2025 Cebu Pacific Integrated Report
