 Cebu Pacific has taken delivery of its eighth aircraft
this year, a brand new A320neo (new engine option) from Airbus’
final assembly line (FAL) in Tianjin, China.

The narrow-body aircraft
features 188 seats made by world-renowned seat manufacturer Recaro,
providing passengers with more comfort with its slim and ergonomic
design.

The aircraft is also 20% more fuel efficient than its
previous generation, able to consume as little as 2.46 kilograms
of fuel per seat per 100 kilometers.

The airline is expected to take delivery of 15
aircraft in 2023.

Cebu Pacific has ordered
10 brand new Airbus neo aircraft this year to support its objective
of transitioning to a more fuel-efficient, all-neo fleet by 2028.
The airline will also receive five additional
aircraft via long-term lease.

“We are thrilled to welcome this delivery,
which is a major milestone for both Airbus and Cebu Pacific. This
is in line with our fleet plan which aims to support our overall
growth ambitions as travel demand continues to recover,” said
Michael Szucs, CEB Chief Executive Officer.

A 41% blend of sustainable
aviation fuel (SAF) was used to power the A320neo’s flight from Tianjin to Ninoy
Aquino International Airport in Manila, marking a major milestone
for Cebu Pacific’s sustainable aviation initiatives.

“Cebu Pacific has been the
Philippine leader in propelling decarbonization in the aviation
industry. This aircraft delivery, powered by SAF, demonstrates our
commitment to providing safe, convenient, and reliable travel for
our customers, while building a greener and more sustainable
future,” said Alex Reyes, CEB Chief Strategy Officer.

SAF
is a drop-in fuel, with similar characteristics as conventional
jet fuel. It does not require any adaptation to the aircraft or
engines and does not have any negative impact on performance.
Reports indicate that the
use of SAF can result in up to an 80% reduction in carbon emissions
across the fuel’s lifecycle.
