In a statement released by Cebu Pacific, the airline reportedly flew 19.1 million passengers in 2016, an increase of 4% from the 18.4 million passengers flown in 2015. This growth in passenger volume was said to be “largely driven by the airline’s low-cost short-haul services and increased frequencies in key domestic markets.”
As per CEB Vice President for Corporate Affairs Atty. JR Mantaring, “this significant increase in number only shows our firm commitment in trafficking trade and tourism in all the destinations we operate in.”
CEB also posted notable passenger growth in international destinations such as Beijing Shanghai and Xiamen in China, Taiwan (Taipei) and Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh in Vietnam. For local flights, there was an increase in traffic in Cauayan, Siargao, and Ozamiz flights.
