CEB Group Flies 1.5 Million Passengers in March 2015

Cebu Pacific and its wholly owned subsidiary Tigerair Philippines flew over 1.5 million passengers in March 2015, a growth of 11.7% compared to the same month last year.

In March, the group operated approximately 2,800 weekly flights, utilizing a fleet of 55 aircraft.

During the month, Cebu Pacific launched direct Kalibo-Hong Kong and Cebu-Tokyo flights, while Tigerair Philippines launched Manila-Legazpi and Cebu-Puerto Princesa flights.

"We look forward to serving more guests and stimulating travel in more markets this year. Cebu Pacific has set its sights on Doha, Qatar, which we will launch on June 4, and continues to explore adding flight frequencies or seat capacity to popular destinations," said Cebu Pacific VP for Marketing and Distribution Candice Iyog.

Cebu Pacific recently ramped up select Hong Kong and Singapore services from Manila, with additional seat capacity (from 180-seater Airbus A320 to 436-seater A330 aircraft).

CEB's 55-strong fleet is comprised of 10 Airbus A319, 31 Airbus A320, 6 Airbus A330 and 8 ATR 72-500 aircraft. Between 2015 and 2021, Cebu Pacific will take delivery of 7 more brand-new Airbus A320 and 30 Airbus A321neo aircraft.
