Low-fare Philippines carrier Cebu Pacific has placed an order for 70 Airbus A321neo aircraft.
The agreement follows a Memorandum of Understanding announced in July and was signed in Manila by Mike Szucs, CEO of Cebu Pacific and Benoît de Saint-Exupéry, Executive Vice President of Sales for the Commercial Aircraft business at Airbus.
The latest order brings the airline’s backlog with Airbus to a total of 94 A320neo family aircraft and seven wide-bodied A330neos.
Szucs said the choice of aircraft “…reflects our focus on operational efficiency, sustainability, and innovation, ensuring that we continue to deliver the highest standards of service while significantly reducing our carbon footprint.”
“This signals our ongoing dedication to expanding air travel accessibility and affordability while supporting the Philippines’ broader economic growth and connectivity goals,” he added.
De Saint-Exupéry said the A321neo was well-placed to meet the airline’s developing requirements. “We’re confident that these additional A321neo aircraft will contribute to the all-Airbus operator’s continued expansion as a [low-fare] carrier in the Asia-Pacific region,” he said.
