Cebu Pacific passenger target hits 17.5% growth

Posted on February 10, 2015

MANILA, Feb. 10 (PNA) — Low-cost carrier Cebu Pacific has acquired a 17.5 percent growth of passengers flown in 2014, compared to its data in the same period in 2013.

“Last January, Cebu Pacific flew its 100 millionth passenger,” said Cebu Pacific Vice President–Marketing and Distribution Candice Iyog in a statement Tuesday.

“We thank our passengers who have allowed us to fly with them throughout the years. Our passengers constantly inspire us to find ways to serve them better, and we look forward to enabling even more Filipinos to fly,” she said.

The announcement was made after the company last year increased flights to domestic markets, as its newly acquired subsidiary, Tigerair Philippines.

Under Tigerair, the airline launched eight domestic routes from its hubs in Manila and Cebu to Butuan, Clark, Cagayan de Oro, Davao, General Santos, Roxas, and Tagbilaran.

The airline said that last year, it flew 16.9 million passengers in 2014, from 14.4 million passengers flown in 2013 with an average of flights which were 84 percent full during the year.

It also achieved notable passenger growth in both domestic and several international markets, with increased presence in the Middle East and Japan, and entry into Australia.

Other notable achievements for the budget airline last year include its launch of direct non-stop flights from Manila to Kuwait, Riyadh, and Dammam.

Cebu Pacific also launched a five times weekly service from Manila to Sydney. These are additional routes to its existing long haul service from Manila to Dubai.

Furthermore, the airline expanded its operations in Japan with the launch of daily services from Manila to Tokyo and a four times weekly service to Nagoya.

It also increased its flights to Osaka, from thrice weekly to a daily service. (PNA)
