Airbus New Engine Option (NEOs) are the latest-generation aircraft that burn 15% less fuel per flight compared to the previous generation.
The reduction in fuel consumption leads to a corresponding reduction in aircraft carbon emissions.
On July 2, CEB announced that it had signed a binding Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Airbus for the purchase of up to 152 A321neo aircraft for $24-B or P1.4-T based on list prices.
This is the largest aircraft order in Philippine aviation history.
The purchase agreement to finalize the transaction is expected to be completed in the third quarter of the year.
Cebu Pacific currently flies to 35 domestic and 25 international destinations spread across Asia, Australia, and the Middle East.
