Low-cost carrier Cebu Pacific (CEB) recently received a new Airbus A330-300 aircraft in time for the holiday peak.
Since December 20, Cebu Pacific has been utilizing the aircraft for flights between Manila and Hong Kong, making available over 9,800 available seats per week. The upgrade reflects a 22% increase compared with the number of seats offered in the previous periods, which Cebu Pacific said allows it to maintain its position as the largest Philippine carrier operating the Philippines-Hong Kong market.
With this connectivity to such hubs, Cebu Pacific aims to strengthen economic trade and tourism from one of Asia’s largest financial centers to the Philippines.
The new aircraft was configured with 436 all economy-class seats, and will join Cebu Pacific’s existing fleet of six A330s flying on long haul and selected regional and domestic routes. Cebu Pacific continues to modernize its current 58-strong fleet of five Airbus A319, 36 Airbus A320, seven Airbus A330, eight ATR 72-500, and two ATR 72-600 aircraft to further expand its route network and frequencies all over the world.
