CEB Celebrates Inaugural Airbus A330 Flight to Seoul, Delivery of 45th Aircraft

The Philippines’ leading low-cost carrier, Cebu Pacific Air celebrated  the inaugural flight of its first Airbus A330 aircraft last July 4,  and the delivery of its 45th aircraft last July 5, 2013.

Passengers departing for the inaugural Airbus A330 flight 5J 188 from  Manila to Seoul (Incheon) were sent off with fanfare and freebies.

The first inaugural flight passenger to check-in at the airport,  Rizziane Aileen Tolentino, a student of the Catholic University of  Korea, was also awarded with a round-trip ticket to Seoul.

CEB’s brand-new Airbus A330 aircraft was delivered last June 15, 2013  from Toulouse, France. Aside from Seoul, this aircraft was also  utilized for 5J 813 from Manila to Singapore yesterday (July 8),  before CEB’s daily Manila-Dubai service will commence on October 7,  2013.

Meanwhile, CEB recently took delivery of its 45th aircraft, a  brand-new Sharklet-equipped Airbus A320, also from Toulouse, France.  CEB is the first and only Philippine operator of Airbus aircraft with  Sharklets, a milestone Airbus technology that allows airlines to save  up to 4% on fuel burn. This is CEB’s 3rd Sharklet-equipped Airbus A320  delivery for 2013.

The airline expects delivery of 16 more Airbus A320 aircraft with  Sharklets, 30 Airbus A321neo and three Airbus A330 aircraft from 2013  until 2021.
