Cebu Pacific, one of the Philippines biggest airlines, proudly presented their newest Airbus 330neo aircraft in the Singapore Airshow as the only Philippine carrier.
This is the first time that Airbus has picked a Philippine carrier to exhibit at the Singapore Airshow. The A33neo of Cebu Pacific will be on permanent display during the four day event which will be on February 15 to 18. This event is Asia’s most prominent airshow as it is held every two years for high-level government and military delegations, as well as top corporate executives from leading international aircraft companies.
The top executives of Cebu Pacific welcomed journalists and everyone who visited the A33neo aircraft.
Mike Szucs, Chief Executive Adviser at Cebu Pacific stated in his interview that “It is important for us to offer value service to our passengers and do it in a sustainable manner. The A330neo is a testament to our commitment to environmental and social sustainability, in line with our target of operating an all-Neo fleet by 2027.”
The A33neo is one of the quietest wide-body planes currently available. It has 459 available seats, enabling more passengers to be transported on a single flight. As a result, CEB will be able to provide a better overall customer experience to all consumers. When it comes to fuel consumption, the A33neo uses 25% less than previous versions, consuming 1.4 gallons each seat every 100 kilometers. As a result of the A33neo’s benefits, CEB will be able to consume less fuel and produce less carbon, allowing the airline to continue to offer low-cost fares to its passengers.
“We are very happy for this opportunity to showcase our newest eco-plane at the Singapore Airshow. It is our honor to be the first-ever Philippine carrier chosen by Airbus to display the A330neo and we take pride in being able to move forward with our fleet modernization plan amidst the global pandemic,” added Szucs.
The airline has received two of the 16 A33neo planes it bought so far, and they are currently flying to Davao and General Santos in the Philippines.
Anand Stanley, President Airbus Asia-Pacific said that “We thank Cebu Pacific for allowing us to feature their A330neo alongside their growth story at the Singapore Airshow.” He also added that, “We are so proud to see our aircraft flying in the beautiful colors of Cebu Pacific and look forward to working together on our shared goal to ensure a sustainable future for our industry.”
Following the removal of travel restrictions in and out of the Philippines, CEB plans to extend its domestic and international network in anticipation of increased demand.
