Manila: The Philippines' budget airline behemoth, Cebu Pacific, has taken flight with a flurry of new routes launched in August 2024.
This expansion covering 11 domestic and nine international routes significantly bolsters its reach, connecting more destinations than ever before.
Currently, the carrier serves 35 domestic and 26 international destinations. And in a historic move, Cebu Pacific has placed a massive order for 152 Airbus aircraft, valued at approximately $24 billion.
This unprecedented investment marks the largest airline order in Philippine history and is a cornerstone of the airline's ambitious fleet renewal programme.
