Cebu Pacific has been recognized by Brand Finance as the strongest airline brand in the ASEAN region, underscoring the airline’s growing resonance with travelers and its reputation for value, reliability, and innovation.
The award reflects Cebu Pacific’s consistent efforts to make air travel more accessible while strengthening customer trust and loyalty through service improvements, digital transformation, and community engagement.
“Being named the strongest airline brand in ASEAN reminds us that our strength comes from our people. We are grateful to our pilots, cabin crew, ground operations, customer care teams, and colleagues across the business who work tirelessly to serve our passengers with care and professionalism. Their collective efforts have strengthened our brand and earned the trust of millions of travelers across the region,” said Candice Iyog, Cebu Pacific Chief Marketing and Customer Care Officer who personally received the award.
“We are honored by the trust given to us, and we remain committed to making travel easier, friendlier, and more accessible for Filipinos and travelers across the region.”
The recognition comes from Brand Finance’s latest valuation study, which provides a holistic view of brand strength by combining consumer perception and financial analysis. Drawing insights from 175,000 respondents across 41 countries, including 25,000 from the Asia Pacific region, the study measures awareness, consideration, and reputation across 31 sectors, covering 6,000 brands with nine years of data.
Cebu Pacific achieved an AAA brand rating and a Brand Strength Index (BSI) score of 86.1. It also recorded an 86% increase in brand value to US$386 million this year from 2024.
“Being the strongest airline brand in ASEAN means Cebu Pacific leads the region in these critical drivers of brand equity, outperforming competitors in both customer perception and operational reputation. This strength translates into greater resilience, and long-term growth potential. It reinforces Cebu Pacific’s strong position in the airline sector and the impact of its brand, marketing, and customer initiatives,” said Alex Haigh, Managing Director at Brand Finance Asia Pacific.
