CEBU Pacific (CEB) has increased its aircraft deliveries for 2023 to a record high of 21 from 15 to further improve its operational resiliency amid growing demand for air travel.
On July 27, 2023, CEB’s ninth aircraft delivery for 2023, a brand-new Airbus A321neo (New Engine Option), arrived at Ninoy Aquino International Airport in Pasay City, Metro Manila from Airbus’ delivery center in Hamburg, Germany using blended sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) on its flight.
Of the 21 expected aircraft deliveries this year, 17 are NEOs, while four are current engine options on short-term lease. The airline aims to shift to a more fuel-efficient, all-NEO fleet by 2028.
Last June 30, CEB received a brand new A320neo aircraft from Airbus’ final assembly line in Tianjin, China, powered by SAF with a blend of 41 percent, marking a major milestone for CEB’s sustainable aviation initiatives. (PR)
