Cebu Pacific Operating 96% of Pre-Pandemic Domestic Capacity

(04 Apr 2022, 11:12 +07)  Cebu Pacific is expecting to restore over 100% of its pre-pandemic domestic capacity this month, after it ramped up its network with the easing of pandemic travel restrictions.

As the summer peak season approaches, the airline has noted a 200% increase in its average daily flights for both domestic and international combined – from about 100 flights per day in 2020, to about 300 at present.

Flights from Manila to key domestic destinations, such as Boracay and Cebu, have already exceeded the flight frequencies of 2019.

The airline currently operates 96% of its pre-pandemic domestic capacity. The improvement has enabled CEB to carry more passengers and boost its cargo service which means faster and more efficient movement of goods across its widest domestic network.

“It is encouraging to see and feel travel confidence returning. We thank our passengers for their continued trust, and we will endeavor to live true to our promise of providing safe, affordable, and accessible air travel,” said Lance Gokongwei, President & Chief Executive Officer (CEO) at Cebu Pacific.

Cebu Pacific operates the widest domestic network in Philippines covering 33 destinations, on top of its 14 international destinations.

The airline has a fleet of 74 aircraft, one of the youngest in the world, that includes two dedicated ATR freighters.
