Cebu Pacific has taken delivery of its 100th aircraft, a brand-new Airbus A330neo.
The A330neo is also the 12th aircraft of its kind to join Cebu Pacific’s fleet, reinforcing the low-cost carrier’s position as the largest A330neo operator in the Asia-Pacific, the airline said in a statement.
The 459-seater aircraft, which arrived in Manila from Airbus’ facility in Toulouse, France on July 18, is the second of four A330neos expected to join Cebu Pacific’s fleet this year — the first of which arrived on March 28. Cebu Pacific is expecting a total of seven aircraft to be delivered in 2025.
“Reaching 100 aircraft is more than a milestone — it reflects our unwavering commitment to make air travel accessible to more Filipinos,” Cebu Pacific president and chief commercial officer Xander Lao said.
“With a larger fleet, we’re able to operate more efficiently, enhance connectivity across the country and the region, and pass on the benefits of scale through even lower fares,” Lao added.
The milestone comes amid continued passenger growth handled by the airline. In June 2025, Cebu Pacific flew a total of 2.2 million passengers, marking a 7.9% increase from the same month last year. From January to June, the airline has flown 13.9 million passengers, marking a 21% increase from 11.5 million in the first half of 2024.
Cebu Pacific said the A330neo provides it with the flexibility to serve regional and long-haul routes, as well as high-demand sectors. With increased range and capacity, the aircraft enables the airline to optimize its operations while maintaining cost efficiency.
Airbus NEOs are the latest-generation aircraft that burn up to 25% less fuel per flight and produce less noise compared to the previous generation. The decrease in fuel consumption leads to a corresponding reduction in aircraft carbon emissions.
Cebu Pacific operates one of the youngest fleets in the world, with its diversified fleet mix of 12 Airbus A330s, 40 Airbus A320s, 26 Airbus A321s, and 22 ATR turboprop aircraft, enabling the widest network coverage in the Philippines.
