THE airline formerly known as Tigerair Philippines is signalling a change in fortunes and direction through its rebrand to Cebgo, the budget carrier announced yesterday.
Acquired in its entirety by Cebu Pacific Air (CEB) in March 2014, Tigerair Philippines will now operate as Cebgo and continue to fly from Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 4 and Clark International Airport to its 16 destinations.
Cebgo’s new identity includes a new logo in CEB colours to reflect its ties to parent company CEB, and flight and ground crew will don Cebgo uniforms in the near future.
“The new Cebgo brand clearly identifies us as part of the CEB group, and streamlines our operations further. Cebgo will continue to leverage on CEB’s distribution channels and network, and work together to serve more guests,” said Michael Ivan Shau, Cebgo president and CEO, in a press release.
Following CEB’s acquisition of the LCC in March last year, Cebgo has trimmed its financial losses and introduced 10 new services.
The airline has 55 aircraft in its fleet and is scheduled to take delivery of seven more Airbus A320s and 30 Airbus A321neo aircraft by 2021.
