More flight offerings fueled the 153% surge in Cebu Pacific’s first-half income to P9 billion from P3.5 billion reported in the same period last year.
Operating income reached P7.9 billion, up 44% year-on-year, while revenue jumped 23%, the low-cost carrier said in a statement.
Passenger numbers climbed 21% to 14 million, lifting passenger revenue by 24% to P44.2 billion.
Ancillary revenue grew 19%, while cargo revenue rose 33%.
The airline’s growth was underpinned by a 17% increase in flights and a 22% rise in available seat kilometers (ASK), as Cebu Pacific continued transitioning to a more fuel-efficient, higher-capacity Airbus NEO fleet, the company said.
By mid-year, the airline operated over 3,300 weekly flights across 124 routes with a fleet of 99 aircraft.
For the second quarter of 2025 alone, Cebu Pacific reported a net income of P8.5 billion, fueled by robust passenger growth, improved operational efficiency, and cost management.
The airline flew seven million passengers during the quarter, up 16% from last year, as both domestic and international markets posted double-digit growth.
Domestic traffic rose 14% to over 5.1 million, while international traffic jumped 23% to 1.8 million, supported by the April Easter holiday and a strong peak travel season. Cebu Pacific said this surge in demand pushed seat load factor to 85.9% and significantly boosted revenues across the business.
Passenger revenue grew 29% to P23.1 billion, ancillary revenue rose 16% to P8 billion, and cargo revenue increased 32% to P1.8 billion.
The airline said the strong revenue performance drove operating income up 110% to P6 billion from P2.8 billion a year ago.
“These results for the second quarter and first half of 2025 reflect the returns from our strategic investments in fleet and network expansion along with the sustained demand for air travel,” Cebu Pacific chief executive officer Michael Szucs said.
“With the Philippines’ growing economy, favorable demographics and expanding tourism sector, we remain well positioned to drive long term growth in low-cost travel,” he added.
