CEB soon to fly 70 millionth passenger Holds PHP7 systemwide seat sale

November 9, 2012 – The Philippines’ largest national flag carrier, Cebu Pacific (PSE:CEB) announced it is set to fly its 70 millionth passenger any time in the next seven days.

“Since CEB started operations in 1996, we have now flown very close to 70 million passengers. This number is a testament to how much CEB’s trademark low fares and extensive route network have revolutionized air travel in the Philippines,” said CEB VP for Marketing and Distribution Candice Iyog.

The countdown started today, during the launch of the North Philippine (NorthPhil) Tourism and Travel Expo at the Marquee Mall in Pampanga, where CEB is the official airline partner for the 4th year.

“CEB’s one and only lucky 70 millionth passenger will check in on any of our approximately 2,000 weekly domestic and international flights, within a week from now. That lucky Juan will receive 70 free domestic one-way tickets, so we are very excited to hit this milestone and award our lucky passenger,” Iyog added.

CEB kicks off the countdown with a PHP7 base fare seat sale to any of the airline’s 32 domestic and 19 international destinations. Sale period is until November 12, 2012 or until seats last, for travel from June 1 to December 15, 2013, except for Osaka which has a travel period from June 1 to October 19, 2013.

The airline also holds a special PHP0 (zero) base fare seat sale for its Clark hub, just in time for the NorthPhil Expo where CEB has a booth. The seat sale period is also until November 12, 2012 or until seats last, for travel from March 1 to May 30, 2013. Up for grabs are seats from Clark to Hong Kong, Singapore, Macau, Bangkok and Cebu.

These seat sale fares are available through www.cebupacificair.com only, and are exclusive of check-in baggage allowance, taxes, fuel surcharges and admin fees.

CEB currently operates 10 Airbus A319, 22 Airbus A320 and 8 ATR-72 500 aircraft. Its fleet of 40 aircraft – with an average age of 3.6 years – is the largest aircraft fleet in the Philippines. Between 2012 and 2021, Cebu Pacific will take delivery of 19 more Airbus A320 and 30 Airbus A321neo aircraft orders. It is slated to begin long-haul services in the 3rd quarter of 2013.
