Cebu Pacific noted this week that it is now the Philippines' largest airline based on number of passengers flown on domestic and international routes. According to Civil Aeronautics Board data, CEB flew 2.45 million total passengers in the first quarter, nearly 110,000 more than Philippine Airlines, which carried 2.34 million systemwide during the period. CEB became the No. 1 domestic carrier last year when it captured just over 50% of the market and it held a 51% domestic share in the first quarter.
VP-Marketing and Distribution Candice Iyog said the airline's "consistent focus and commitment to offering the lowest fares for value service continues to pay off. We expect to grow even more in the coming years as we take delivery of more brand-new planes, which we will use to expand our capacity, increase frequencies and fly to more local and foreign destinations." CEB plans to take 22 A320s between October 2010 and 2014, bringing the number of A320s it operates to 43. It also operates eight ATR 72-500s. In 2009 it flew 8.8 million passengers, up 31% year-over-year. It forecasts that it will carry 10 million this year and 15 million by 2013.
