Cebu Pacific Takes Delivery of Second ATR 72-600HC

Cebu Pacific has taken delivery of another ATR 72-600 High Capacity aircraft.

The ATR 72-600 will be utilized by Cebgo, a wholly owned subsidiary of Cebu Pacific.

It is the second of sixteen ATRs to be delivered as part of a US$673-million order placed at the 2015 Paris Airshow.

“This new addition to our fleet further forwards our commitment to provide for the growing travel trend while offering more competitive fares to our valued guests,” said Alexander Lao, Cebgo President and CEO.

The new high capacity aircraft will allow Cebu Pacific to reduce its fleet’s fuel consumption and cost per seat while responding to the increasing demand for inter-island connectivity.

Later this week, Cebu Pacific will launch three new inter-island routes: Cebu to Calbayog, Cebu to Ormoc and Cebu to Roxas. The new routes will be operated with ATR aircraft.
