“This aircraft delivery allows us to increase our operational resilience while continuing to provide safe, reliable and affordable air travel to our passengers. Our ongoing refleeting with new-generation, fuel-efficient aircraft and our continued use of sustainable aviation fuel will also help our decarbonization efforts in making the aviation industry more sustainable,” Cebu Pacific chief strategy officer Alex Reyes said.
The local carrier is augmenting its fleet as some of its jets are currently parked for maintenance, resulting in flight cancellations and delays. Engine manufacturer Pratt & Whitney is having a hard time servicing immediately all the aircraft queued for maintenance due to supply chain issues. The unavailability of some aircraft comes at a time when air travel demand is regaining momentum and the aviation sector is reopening more routes as it claws its way back to full recovery.Cebu Pacific earlier said it was targeting to restart its Manila-Beijing flights by October given the projected increase in air travel demand to one of the most popular tourist destinations in Asia.This will be the fifth destination of the carrier in China.
Competitors Philippine Airlines and Air Asia Philippines have also reopened their China network to take advantage of the passenger movement resurgence.Subscribe to our daily newsletter
