Cebu Pacific flew almost 160,000 passengers in
the 3rd quarter (Q3) of 2011, compared to the same period last
year. This translated to a growth of 26%, at a quarterly average
of 85% load factor.
“We consider Singapore as one of CEB’s major
growth markets, especially with the number of overseas Filipino
workers and foreign tourists there. CEB offers the most number of
flight options to Singaporeans who wish to visit some of Asia’s
best beach and diving destinations,” said CEB VP for Marketing and
Distribution Candice Iyog.
To boost its Singapore routes further, Cebu
Pacific is holding a seat sale from today, 9 November, until 11
November 2011, or until seats last, for travel from 1 January to
31 March 2012. Sin$51 seats are available from Singapore to Cebu,
while Sin$63 seats are available to Manila and Clark. Terms and
conditions apply.
After the seat sale, passengers can avail of
CEB’s lowest year-round Singapore Lite Fares: Clark (Sin$55), Cebu
(Sin$75) and Manila (Sin$85).
CEB will increase flights from Singapore to
Manila, from 32 to 35 weekly flights, starting 7 January 2012.
This coincides with additional flights to the Philippines’ top
tourist destinations such as Boracay (Caticlan), Davao, Coron (Busuanga)
and Naga (CamSur).
“Passengers from Singapore can look forward to
CEB’s continued high-quality service and most extensive flight
offerings within and to the Philippines. We aim to expand further
in the Asia-Pacific region as we expect delivery of 54 more
brand-new Airbus aircraft from December 2011 until 2021,” Iyog
said.
CEB currently operates 10 Airbus A319, 18 Airbus
A320 and 8 ATR-72 500 aircraft. By the end of 2011, CEB will be
operating a fleet of 37 aircraft – with an average age of less
than 3.5 years – one of the most modern aircraft fleets in the
world. Between 2012 and 2021, Cebu Pacific will take delivery of
23 Airbus A320 and 30 Airbus A321neo aircraft orders, and 2 Airbus
A320 aircraft on operating lease agreements.
