Budget carrier Cebu Pacific definitely saw a remarkable year—from clinching the biggest aircraft acquisition deal in Philippine aviation history to buying boutique airline AirSwift from the Zobel family.
Candice Iyog, the Gokongwei-led airline’s chief marketing and customer experience officer, only expects a brighter future in 2025 for the carrier that has been launching new and exciting routes here and abroad.
Cebu Pacific will welcome the year with a total of 116 destinations in its network, showing a growth from 104 when it started 2024.
It has so far received 15 new aircraft this year to augment passenger capacity. Three more are expected for the rest of the year.
“We continue to grow while we actively manage the impact of supply chain issues and built network resilience,” Iyog said during a media thanksgiving event in Makati on Wednesday evening.
This year, the airline targets to fly 24 million passengers, higher than 20 million in 2023, as it expands both its domestic and international network.
