CEB on track to fly its 100 millionth passenger

The Philippines’ leading airline, Cebu Pacific Air (PSE:CEB) will soon fly its 100 millionth passenger, after 18 years of operations.

CEB launched its first domestic flights to Cebu and Davao in March 8, 1996, after the Philippine government deregulated air travel, and opened up opportunities for other airlines. It pioneered low fares in the country, and introduced many firsts in the Philippine aviation industry, such as one peso seat sales, e-tickets, web check-in and other travel products and services.

“This will be a significant milestone for the CEB team, and it is all thanks to the millions of passengers who have chosen to fly with CEB through the years. We are fortunate to be a part of their journeys. We look forward to serving the next 100 million, as we reach more destinations and enable more to fly,” said CEB President and CEO Lance Gokongwei.

In 18 years, the Philippine carrier grew its network to approximately 90 domestic and international routes, providing convenient flight connections and introducing affordable air travel to more people.

This year, it was named by Centre for Aviation or CAPA, a leading aviation think tank, as the Low-Cost Carrier of the Year in the Asia-Pacific region.
