Gokongwei-owned budget airline Cebu Pacific will end 2011 with the largest aircraft fleet in the country, operating 10 Airbus A319, 19 Airbus A320 and eight ATR-72 500 aircraft.
In a statement, the airline said its fleet of 37 aircraft – with an average age of 3.6 years – is one of the youngest in Asia. Its newest Airbus A320 aircraft landed in Manila last Dec. 10.
Between 2012 and 2021, Cebu Pacific will take delivery of 23 Airbus A320 and 30 Airbus A321neo aircraft orders, and two Airbus A320 aircraft on operating lease agreements.
Cebu Pacific flew close to 11 million passengers from January to November 2011, a growth of 14 percent as compared to the same period last year. It also succeeded in flying one million passengers each for the months of April, May, October and November, a first for any Philippine carrier.
