On July 18, Cebu Pacific (CEB) proudly marked a historic milestone — the delivery of its 100th aircraft, the brand-new Airbus A330neo. This aircraft is CEB’s 12th A330neo and sets a new benchmark in Philippine aviation, making CEB the first local airline to operate a 100-strong fleet. It also cements CEB’s position as the largest operator of A330neo aircraft in the Asia-Pacific region.


A330neo Cabin Design: Inspired by Cebu, Designed for Comfort


Stepping into CEB’s A330neo is like experiencing a flying tribute to Cebu and the Philippines. Styled by LIFT Aero Design, the cabin interior blends modern comfort with uniquely local elements:


▣ Teal ambient lighting evokes the beauty of Philippine waters.

▣ Blue-on-blue mango designs on the front and rear walls pay homage to Cebu’s world-famous mangoes.

▣ Blue-grey leather textures and subtle carbon fiber elements reflect the traditional puso (hanging rice) of Cebu.

▣ Custom carpets are inspired by the airline’s iconic eagle symbol.

▣ Even the lavatory walls are golden yellow, complete with mango motifs, tying the look together.

▣ Yellow and blue seat details help distinguish premium and standard seating options, giving a pop of personality and function.

Sustainability and Innovation: Flying Smarter and Greener


The Airbus A330neo isn’t just about looks — it’s the greenest aircraft in CEB’s fleet to date. Here’s why it matters:


▣ Uses up to 25% less fuel than older models, translating to lower carbon emissions per passenger.

▣ Cabin is 3 decibels quieter, and external noise is reduced by up to 60%, offering a smoother and quieter flight experience.

▣ Supports CEB’s goal of transitioning to an all-NEO fleet by 2028, reinforcing its long-term pledge to sustainable and inclusive growth.

▣ Greater fuel efficiency also helps CEB keep fares low, while expanding reach across its growing network.


What This Means for Travelers and the Planet


From its eco-friendly tech to a cabin that proudly reflects Filipino culture, the A330neo is more than just a new plane — it’s a statement. CEB continues to push boundaries in affordable travel, innovation, and sustainability, all while showcasing the heart of Cebu and the Philippines in every flight.
