Cebu Pacific Wins Accolades as Among Best Low-Cost, Safest Airlines in the World

Cebu Pacific (PSE: CEB), the Philippines’ leading carrier, started the year strong — winning three awards from two international bodies for being one of the best low-cost airlines in the world, its sustainable operations, and its safety record.

CEB was hailed Best Low-Cost Airline Brand in the Philippines for 2023 by the World Economic Magazine, a US-based publication that spotlights industry disruptors across the global financial marketplace. It was also recognized as the Most Sustainable Low-Cost Airline in the Philippines by the same publication.

CEB was one of the nine (9) Philippine businesses that made it in this list, joining other international companies that were acknowledged for their excellence and drive for continued growth and progress.

CEB also received a separate recognition from airlineratings.com as among the top 20 safest low-cost airlines in the world for 2024.

Airlineratings.com, the world’s leading airline safety and product rating review website, assesses an airline’s safety by reviewing its incident records over the past two years, audit results from the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), and fleet age, among other factors.

Airlineratings.com also previously awarded CEB with a perfect 7-star rating for its multi-layered approach to safety during the pandemic.

“It is an honor to be considered as one of the top low-cost carriers in the world commended for safety records and effective safety management systems,” said CEB Chief Executive Officer Michael Szucs.

“Cebu Pacific has indeed grown to become one of the most recognized and trusted names in the industry, synonymous with safe, affordable, and accessible flights. These recognitions inspire us to continue to outperform at the highest level in the industry,” he added.

Through the years, CEB successfully implemented a low-fare business model, catering specifically to budget-conscious consumers to make air travel more accessible and economical for a wider range of passengers.

It has also been recognized in Asia Pacific for its cost-efficient operations and environmentally friendly initiatives. In September 2022, CEB operated its first passenger flight powered by sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) from Singapore to Manila. This achievement made CEB the first low-cost carrier in Southeast Asia and the first Philippine airline to incorporate SAF in its commercial operations.

In the same year, CEB also received the Asia Environmental Sustainability Airline / Airline Group of the Year award from the Centre for Asia Pacific Aviation (CAPA) for its leadership in sustainability performance and initiatives in the regional aviation industry.

CEB aims to transition to an all-NEO fleet by 2028 and will incorporate the use of blended SAF for its entire commercial network by 2030.

CEB currently flies to 35 domestic locations and 25 international destinations across Asia, Australia, and the Middle East. For more information, visit: www.cebupacificair.com.

Cebu Pacific’s First Narita-Manila SAF-Powered Flight Takes Off

Cebu Pacific (PSE: CEB) operated Flight 5J 5055 from Narita to Manila powered by sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), making it the first Philippine carrier to use SAF in a commercial flight from Japan.

The leading Philippine carrier’s SAF flight was operated with an Airbus 321neo, using 40% blended SAF produced by Neste Corporation and supplied by Itochu Corporation. This combination resulted in a 44 percent reduction in carbon emissions per passenger, setting a new record for CEB’s SAF-powered flights.

“As we await sufficient SAF supply to meet the demand of the entire aviation industry, this inaugural Narita to Manila SAF flight represents Cebu Pacific’s ongoing efforts toward making air travel more sustainable. Other decarbonization programs that we have put in place include investing in fuel-efficient NEOs, optimization of flight plans, and adoption of fuel efficiency best practices to minimize fuel consumption. All these are concrete sustainability initiatives that bolster our commitment and support for the aviation industry’s goal of flying net-zero by 2050,” said Alexander Lao, President and Chief Commercial Officer at Cebu Pacific.

Itochu, which acts as the branded distributor of SAF in Japan, lauded the collaboration.

“We look forward to partnering with Cebu Pacific as we strive towards sustainable aviation. Our collaboration underscores the growing demand for SAF in the Asia-Pacific region and we are ready to meet that need,” said Atsushi Onishi, Senior Officer of Itochu’s Energy Division.

Passengers on the inaugural flight were part of the celebration, receiving commemorative tokens and engaging in in-flight activities. The initiative was also warmly welcomed by Narita International Airport.

“We are honored that Cebu Pacific has chosen Narita International Airport for this initiative. Being one of the select airlines to mount SAF flights in Japan, Cebu Pacific’s commitment to sustainability is commendable,” said Toshio Tashiro, Executive Officer of Narita International Airport.

Prior to the commercial flight, CEB signed a strategic partnership with Neste to work towards establishing a long-term supply of SAF across the Asia-Pacific. This initiative aligns with the airline’s sustainability goal to gradually integrate SAF into its operations, thereby reducing its carbon emissions footprint and promoting environmental consciousness.

CEB operated its first passenger flight powered by SAF in September 2022 from Singapore to Manila, making it the first low-cost carrier in Southeast Asia to incorporate SAF in its commercial operation. The airline aims to integrate blended SAF for its entire commercial network by 2030.

Cebu Pacific Transitions to Electric Vehicle to Service Employees

Cebu Pacific (PSE: CEB), the Philippines’ leading airline, transitions its Juander Shuttle service to 100% electric, zero-emission minibuses for the commuting needs of its employees.

CEB provides the Juander Shuttle service for free to transport its employees to and from its main office in Pasay City to various pick-up and drop-off locations along selected routes within Greater Metro Manila.

“CEB is excited to roll out a more sustainable commuting service for our employees with the 100% electric COMET vehicles. This program is part of the Company’s efforts to decarbonize our operations, which in this case is the shift from the use of diesel-powered vehicles to a more sustainable electric alternative,” said Felix Dan Lopez, CEB’s Chief Human Resources Officer.

“At the same time, the bigger COMET will accommodate more riders due to its larger seating capacity. It also offers safety and connectivity features that will serve our commuting employees better,” he added.

The electric powered minibuses, called the Community Optimized Managed Electric Transport, or COMET, are provided by GET Philippines, Inc. COMET vehicles are fully air-conditioned and equipped with retractable ramps for persons with disabilities. They are installed with a media system, display monitors, and internet connection for the use of the passengers.

“GET Philippines is very pleased to partner with Cebu Pacific in providing a safe and sustainable transport solution to its employees. We are glad to support the Company’s drive to create a positive impact to the environment,” Frankie T. Endriga, GET COO, said.

Cebu Pacific is committed to reducing the environmental impact of its operations. This includes minimizing its flight emissions through its aircraft modernization program, as well as addressing emissions from its ground operations.

“CEB recognizes the need to mitigate the emissions from our ground operations, in addition to the decarbonization efforts for our aircraft fleet. We have initiated a multi-year program to transform our ground transportation network to electric, zero-emission alternatives. This also supports the government’s thrust to promote electric vehicles in the country’s transportation sector,” said Alex Reyes, Chief Strategy Officer, who also leads sustainability in CEB.

Cebu Pacific Elevates Passenger Experience at NAIA T3

Cebu Pacific (PSE: CEB), the Philippines’ leading airline, enhanced customer service at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 3 (NAIA T3) by allowing passengers who accomplished online check-in to enter through a dedicated gate, among other features that will ease travel experience.

From the first entrance at the NAIA T3 Departures (Online Check-In Entrance), customers who checked-in online can go straight to the boarding gates if they don’t need to check in their bags.

Passengers who need to check in their bags may proceed to CEB’s self-bag tag kiosks at Isle E, scan their boarding passes at a machine, print and attach the tags on their bags. Thereafter, domestic passengers may proceed to the online check-in bag drop counters at E16-E29, while international passengers may check the counters assigned to them on the flight information monitors near Isles D and E.

Meanwhile, passengers who did not check in online may enter through Gates 1 and 2 and use any of the check-in kiosks located in between Isle D and E. They may also print their bag tags and use the bag drop counters located between D16-D29 and E1-E15.

CEB will offer a repack area where all passengers can check if they are within their baggage allowance or not. It also allows passengers to conveniently repack or arrange their bags if necessary.

The airline is also ready to address the concerns of passengers with same-day flights by operating a 24/7 help desk at its ticket office near NAIA T3 Arrival Gate 6.

“Our top priority at Cebu Pacific is to ensure the safety and comfort of our passengers. As demand for air travel picks up, we hope that these solutions will allow our customers to travel more conveniently and reach their destinations with ease,” said Lei Apostol, Cebu Pacific Vice President for Customer Service Operations.

Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA) General Manager Cesar Chiong lauded CEB’s initiatives to improve passenger experience at NAIA T3.

“Our focus is to make sure that we will deliver the best service to our riding public and to our fellow Filipinos. This supports our overall goal to continuously enhance travel experience for all passengers passing through the NAIA,” said Chiong.

Among the measures that MIAA has undertaken to further provide a seamless travel experience for passengers include the removal of the initial security check in all four NAIA terminals, reassignment of some domestic and international flights to other terminals, and implementation of several digitalization projects.

CEB advises its passengers to book their flights online by creating a MyCebuPacific account to get notifications about their upcoming trips, manage their bookings, access their Travel Funds, among other features. Online check-in is also available via the Cebu Pacific app and website, reducing passenger waiting time at the airport and allowing them to go straight to their assigned boarding gates.
