Cebu Pacific Orders 15 Airbus Aircraft, Including Up To 10 A321XLRs

Cebu Pacific has signed a Purchase Agreement with Airbus for the order of 15 A320neo family aircraft, including up to 10 A321XLR.

The aircraft are scheduled for delivery between 2021 and 2024, and are valued at US$2 billion at current list prices.

The Purchase Agreement is part of the MOU signed by Cebu Pacific with Airbus at the Paris Air Show in June 2019 for an order of 31 next generation aircraft.

The Purchase Agreement for 16 widebody A330neo aircraft was finalised in October, and this latest Purchase Agreement completes the remaining part of the MOU.

The A321XLR is the next evolutionary step for the A321LR, responding to market needs for even more range and payload. The single aisle aircraft will have a range of up to 4,700nm.

Year-to-date, Cebu Pacific has accepted delivery of 10 brand-new aircraft - five Airbus A321neo and four A320neo, as well as an ATR 72-600.

There are now 75 aircraft in Cebu Pacific's fleet, including seven Airbus A321ceo, 30 Airbus A320, eight A330, seven ATR 72-500, 12 ATR 72-600, and an ATR Cargo Freighter. The ATR aircraft is used by subsidiary Cebgo to service inter-island flights in Philippines where jet operations are not possible.

Cebu Pacific boasts of one of the youngest fleets in the world, with an average fleet age of five years.
