President and Chief Commercial Officer
Cebu Pacific

2024 has been a milestone year for Cebu Pacific. We made history by signing a landmark purchase agreement with Airbus for up to 152 A321neo aircraft.

This is the largest aircraft order in Philippine aviation history and reflects our confidence in the future of air travel.

This agreement positions us to better meet the evolving needs of our passengers while reaffirming our commitment to making air travel accessible to more Filipinos.

Additionally, we launched 24 routes in 2024, primarily from our non-Manila hubs like Cebu, Clark, Davao and Iloilo.

These expansions underscore our dedication to connecting more people and destinations across the Philippines and beyond, supporting the country’s tourism and economic growth.

Looking ahead to 2025, we are excited to further grow our hubs outside Metro Manila, particularly Davao, Iloilo and Clark.

We aim to introduce more domestic and international routes from these locations, ensuring that travelers have more options and greater convenience when flying with Cebu Pacific.

It’s all part of our ongoing efforts to bring the world closer to every Juan and continue driving the Philippine growth story.
