Cebu Pacific recently took delivery of an Airbus A320neo, its first new aircraft to arrive this year.

The aircraft landed in Manila on March 6 from Airbus’ facility in Toulouse, France and is the first of four A320neos anticipated to join the low-cost carrier’s fleet this year.

Cebu Pacific expects to receive a total of seven aircraft in 2026 as it continues to strengthen capacity amid sustained travel demand.

“This delivery sets the tone for our 30th year,” Cebu Pacific president and chief commercial officer Xander Lao said in a statement.

“It reflects our continued investment in growth so more passengers can look forward to accessible and reliable air travel in the years to come,” he added. Cebu Pacific marked its 30th anniversary on March 8.

Airbus NEOs are the latest-generation aircraft that burn about 15% less fuel per flight and produce less noise compared to previous models, resulting in a corresponding reduction in carbon emissions.

Cebu Pacific operates one of the youngest fleets in the world, with its diversified commercial fleet mix of 14 Airbus 330s, 27 Airbus 321s, 39 Airbus 320s, and 20 ATR turboprop aircraft.

The airline flew its maiden voyage from Manila to Cebu on March 8, 1996. Since then, the airline has flown over 250 million passengers across its domestic and international network.

Cebu Pacific currently operates in 35 domestic and 26 international destinations spread across Asia, Australia, and the Middle East.
