Cebu Pacific said Monday it broke its own record for the most number of passengers flown in a single day, as summer season demand boosted traffic.
The Gokongwei-led airline said it flew 65,298 on May 7, breaking the previous record of 64,684 on Dec. 27, 2016. The new record was set on 395 flights to 37 domestic and 26 international destinations.
“As summer peak season reaches full swing, we are seeing more tourists going on vacation,” said Cebu Pacific vice president for corporate affairs JR Mantaring.
Mantaring said the growing number of meetings, conferences and exhibitions helped drive passenger traffic.
The country’s largest airline said it had 53-percent market share in the first 3 months of 2018, during which it flew 4.9 million passengers.
