THE airline unit of JG Summit Holdings Inc. (JGHSI) flew nearly 12 million passengers last year, up by 14 percent compared to the 10.5 million passengers in 2010.
In a statement, Cebu Pacific attributed the passenger growth to the 22-pecent increase in
international passengers, which numbered more than 2.72 million last year.
The airline added flights to Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur, Brunei, Singapore, Ho Chi Minh, Seoul and Bangkok since the start of 2011 to meet travel demand. Cebu Pacific’s domestic passengers also went up by 12 percent to 9.22 million from 8.23 million in 2010.
The airline attributed the increases to capacity additions to key destinations, lower fares from the unbundling of baggage allowance, and the arrival of five brand-new Airbus A320 aircraft in 2011.
Cebu Pacific’s load factor was 88 percent, up 2 percentage points over 2010.
For both domestic and international routes, the airline’s average load factor was 86 percent, an increase compared to the 85 percent last year. Load factor refers to how full the flights are.
“We look forward to serving 14 million passengers this year. Cebu Pacific will continue to boost tourism and trade in the destinations we fly to, and offer the most innovative travel services for the convenience of our guests,” Candice Iyog, Cebu Pacific’s vice president for Marketing and Distribution, said.
The airline currently operates 37 aircraft – with an average age of less than 3.5 years – one of the most modern aircraft fleets in the world.
Between 2012 and 2021, Cebu Pacific will take delivery of 23 Airbus A320s and 30 Airbus A321s for new aircraft orders, and two Airbus A320s on operating lease agreements.
