Cebu Pacific has placed a firm order with Airbus for 70 A321neo, finalising an MoU announced by the airline in July.
Cebu Pacific currently operates 61 A320 family aircraft on its extensive regional network, in addition to its nine A330 widebodies on high density routes in the region, as well as to destinations in the Middle East. Following the latest order, the airline’s backlog with Airbus now stands at 94 A320neo Family aircraft and seven A330neo.
Cebu Pacific CEO Mike Szucs said: “This milestone signals our ongoing dedication to expanding air travel accessibility and affordability, while supporting the Philippine’s broader economic growth and connectivity goals.”
“The A320 Family has supported Cebu Pacific’s domestic and shorthaul international network growth over the last two decades. We’re confident that these additional A321neo aircraft will contribute strongly to the all-Airbus operator’s next phase of expansion as one of Asia-Pacific’s leading low cost carriers,” added Benoît de Saint-Exupéry, executive vice president, sales, commercial aircraft business at Airbus.
