Cebu Pacific (CEB), the Philippine LCC, carried its 20 millionth passenger in Apr-07. The airline which launched services in Mar-96 has increased its yearly passenger traffic from 360,000 in 1996 to almost 3.5 million passengers in 2006. CEB is projecting to increase passenger carriage by 45% and carry more than 5 million passengers this year.
Candice Iyog, CEB VP for marketing and product announced, “We are very happy with the attainment of the 20 million mark and we know that this is a significant milestone in CEB’s history. This is a continued manifestation of CEB’s thrust to bring air travel closer to more Filipinos.”
“Through our year round affordable ‘Go’ fares, we are able to encourage those who have never traveled by air to do so and visit their families and friends. Many of the Filipinos who travel once a year can now travel twice or thrice a year with our very low fare offering,” Iyog added.
CEB recently added milestones to its history by offering new products online which included car rental services and travel insurance to its passengers.
“We have taken a little more than 12 years to carry the first twenty million guests. Based on our growth plans we expect to carry the next 20 million in just 3-4 years and that can only be good for the continued growth of air travel and tourism in the Philippines and the region,” Iyog further explained.
