The new ATR 72-600 will be used for the two new routes to be launched on Feb. 15 — Manila to Masbate and Manila to Tablas.
“We are glad to take delivery of another brand-new ATR 72-600, especially since this is the first to have the titanium seats from Expliseat installed. This aircraft therefore combines reduced seat costs while optimizing comfort for passengers,” Cebgo President and CEO Alexander G. Lao was quoted as saying in a statement.
Cebu Pacific’s aircraft fleet has an average age of 4.92 years, which the airline says is one of the youngest around the world.
It currently operates a 58-strong fleet made up of four Airbus A319, 36 Airbus A320, seven Airbus A330, eight ATR 72-500, and three ATR 72-600 aircraft. Starting this year to 2021, the budget carrier expects to receive one more brand-new Airbus A330, 32 Airbus A321neo, and 13 ATR 72-600 aircraft.
