About Cebu Pacific
Why Everyone Flies

pioneered the “low fare, great value” strategy. We have since then flown over
150 million passengers and counting.
CEB is the largest carrier in the Philippine air transportation industry, offering low-cost
services to more destinations and routes with higher flight frequency within the
Philippines than any other airline. CEB currently offers flights to 37 Philippine and 26
international destinations, spanning Asia, Australia, the Middle East, and USA.
CEB operates a 66-strong fleet of 48 Airbus (4 A321ceo, 36 A320 and 8 A330)
and 18 ATR (8 ATR 72-500 and 10 ATR 72-600) aircraft, one of the most modern
aircraft fleets in the world. Between 2018 and 2022, Cebu Pacific will take delivery of 3
Airbus A321ceo, 32 Airbus A321neo, and 6 ATR 72-600 aircraft orders. It began long-

CEB is also the preferred and dominant air cargo carrier in the Philippines. We provide
competitive, fast, flexible and straightforward air cargo services to an extensive network,
for individual shippers and cargo agents.
Our guests have also learned to anticipate a uniquely upbeat flying experience with

F. BRIEF HISTORY/FOUNDERS
History of Cebu Pacific Air
In late August, 1988, Cebu Air was established in Pasay City, Metro Manila, the Philippines, but
it only started operations almost 8 years later, in early March, 1996.
In February 1998, Cebu Pacific Air was grounded by the government, but continued its services
next month, after the re-certification of its aircraft.
In late November, 2001, Cebu Pacific Air started operating international flights with a twice-daily
service to Hong-Kong.
On the 1st of March, 2002, Cebu Pacific Air introduced thrice-weekly flights to Seoul.
In the following years, Cebu Pacific Air continued to introduce new routes and increase flight
frequency for some of the existing ones.
In late May, 2008, Cebu Pacific was named as the world’s number one airline in terms of
growth, ranking fifth in Asia for Budget Airline passengers transported and 23rd in the world.
On July 22, 2008, Cebu Pacific became the first airline to use the new Terminal 3 of the Ninoy
Aquino International Airport and the first airline to operate international commercial flights from
the new terminal.
In August, 2009, Cebu Pacific opened its Twitter account, being the first airline in the Philippines
to use social media.
In January 2010, Cebu Pacific gained an International Organization for Standardization (ISO)
9001:2008 Certificate, an upgrade of CEB’s ISO 9001:2000 Certificate obtained in February
2003. The new certificate guarantees that Cebu Pacific Air has consistent business procedures
covering all key processes in the airline, including adequate records for all transactions,
effective monitoring processes and mechanisms for continuous improvement.
In April 2010, Cebu Pacific disappointed with the European Union’s decision to blacklist all
Philippine airlines from flying to the EU, based on the International Civil Aviation Organization
(ICAO) Significant Safety Concern from December 2009.
In May 2010, CEB increased Airbus A320 orders by seven, on top of an existing order of 15
aircraft. The first for the 180-seat brand-new aircraft scheduled to be delivered from 2010 to
2014 arrived in October and was used to add routes and frequencies on CEB’s network of 33
domestic and 14 international destinations.
In June 2010, Cebu Pacific became the Philippines’ largest airline by total number of
passengers flown on domestic and international routes. CEB claimed the Nº 1 domestic carrier
in 2009 when it captured 50% of the domestic market share, in 2010, with 51% market share it
was again the Nº 1. The airline operated the youngest aircraft fleet in the country, composed of
8 ATR 72-500 and 21 Airbus aircraft.
In February 2011, Cebu Pacific bagged the Budgie$ Friendliest LCC Award at the Low Cost
Airlines World Asia-Pacific Conference held in Singapore, besting other contenders like Air
Arabia, Air Asia, Jetstar Asia, SpiceJet and Spring Airlines.
In May 2011, Cebu Pacific Airlines was named the most sociable airline in the world by
Planely.com, an air travel-focused social networking site that saw 142 airlines joining its contest.
In July 2012, Cebu Pacific CEO, Lance Gokongwei won the global low-cost airline Leadership
Award. The Airline Strategy awards, event that recognizes the airline industry’s best in
leadership, marketing, and innovation. Previous years Airline Strategy awards in the Low Cost
Leadership category include Jetstar’s Alan Joyce, Ryanair’s CEO Michael O’Leary, and Air
Asia’s Tony Fernandes.
In December 2012, Cebu Pacific Air took delivery of its 41st aircraft with tail number RP-C3271.
Cebu Pacific is the only airline in the Philippines with its fleet acquired 100% brand-new, making
it one of the youngest and most modern aircraft fleets in Asia.
In June 2012, Cebu Pacific ranked 15th in Airline Business Magazine’s list of the world’s top 75
low-cost carriers (LCC) based on 2011 passenger numbers. Cebu Pacific also ranked 15th in
2010. The world’s three largest LCCs in 2012 were Ireland’s RyanAir, UK’s EasyJet and USA’s
Southwest.
In January 2014, Cebu Pacific and Tigerair, the largest budget carriers based in the Philippines
and Singapore, have signed a strategic alliance. Subject to regulatory approval, Cebu Pacific
and Tigerair will collaborate commercially and operationally on international and domestic air
routes, thus creating the biggest network of flights to and from the Philippines.
In February 2014, Cebu Pacific Air announced that it has signed a share purchase agreement to
acquire 100% of Tigerair Philippines, including a 40% stake of Tiger Airways Holdings Limited.
Starting April 11, 2014, Cebu Pacific has been removed from the list of airlines banned from
operating in the European Union (EU) member countries. This confirms Cebu Pacific’s
commitment to safety and full compliance with international aviation safety standards. This
enabled Cebu Pacific to continue flying to the EU.
In May 2015, to reflect the relationship between Tigerair Philippines as a wholly owned
subsidiary airline of Cebu Pacific Airlines, Tigerair Philippines was rebranded as Cebgo. By
October, Cebgo returned 5 Airbus A320 to Cebu Pacific, thereafter operating a whole turboprop
fleet of ATR 72.
In June 2015, Cebu Pacific Airlines announced an order of 16 ATR 72-600 aircraft to be
operated by Cebgo to meet growing demand for inter-island services in the Philippines. With the
delivery of the first ATR 72 600 in October 2016, the airline also became the launch customer of
the new high-density Armonia cabin.
In January 2016, Cebu Pacific received its first brand-new Airbus A320 with the new livery, the
34th A320 in the low-cost carrier’s fleet.
In May 2016, Cebu Pacific became a founding member of Value Alliance, the world’s largest
low-cost carrier alliance. Cebu Pacific is currently the only Philippine carrier to be a member of
an airline alliance.
In June 2017, Cebu Pacific placed an order for 7 Airbus A321ceo aircraft. The first Airbus A321
200 is scheduled for delivery in March 2018.
In August 2018, Cebu Pacific launched thrice-weekly service between Manila and Melbourne,
its second destination in Australia.
In January 2019, Cebu Pacific took delivery of its first Airbus A321neo aircraft in a single-class
configuration with 326 Economy seats. Five more A321neo aircraft of the 32 on order will be
added to the fleet this year to Cebu Pacific’s expansion plans.
The only fatal accident in the history of Cebu Pacific took place on the 2nd day of February,
1998, when Cebu Pacific Flight 387, a DC-9-32 travelling from Manila to Cagayan de Oro,
crashed on the slopes of Mount Sumagaya due to a pilot error, killing all 104 people on board.
