Low-cost carrier Cebu Pacific received its 12th aircraft delivery for 2024 on September 26. The new Airbus A321-271N, configured with 236 seats, arrived at Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) as part of the airline’s ongoing fleet modernization and network expansion efforts.
This delivery follows the arrival of an A320neo just two weeks prior, highlighting Cebu Pacific’s rapid fleet growth this year.
This latest aircraft delivery aligns with our goal of enhancing our fleet and expanding our network to better serve every Juan. With each fuel-efficient aircraft we welcome to our fleet, we are taking steps toward achieving our net zero goal by 2050, while continuing to open more routes and introduce new destinations for our passengers.
