Cebu Pacific receives 15th A330neo as NEO jets reach 78% of fleet

Cebu Pacific has taken delivery of its 15th Airbus A330neo, with the aircraft arriving in Manila from Airbus’ Toulouse facility on 10 October. It is the Philippine carrier’s fourth aircraft delivery of 2026 and its first widebody addition this year, expanding capacity for domestic, international and long-haul operations ahead of seasonal demand during the Undas and Christmas periods.

The delivery supports Cebu Pacific’s fleet-modernisation programme and maintains its position as Asia’s largest A330neo operator. NEO aircraft now account for 78% of the airline’s jet fleet, while Cebu Pacific continues to target an all-NEO jet fleet by 2030.

The airline expects seven NEO deliveries during 2026, leaving three additional aircraft due after the A330neo received in October. Cebu Pacific describes the newer-generation aircraft as offering greater flexibility across markets in and beyond the Philippines, with fuel consumption 15% to 20% lower per flight than previous-generation models and reduced noise.

The reported fleet comprises 15 Airbus A330s, 27 A321s, 38 A320s and 20 ATR turboprops, giving a total of 100 aircraft. The reports do not identify the new aircraft’s registration, cabin configuration or planned first commercial route.
