CEBU PACIFIC announces 2 aircraft leases to further increase fleet size

THE Philippines' largest national flag carrier, Cebu Pacific, signed six-year operating lease agreements with Dublin-based RBS Aviation Capital for 2 brand-new Airbus A320 aircraft to be delivered in March 2012. This will be on top of CEB's 27 Airbus A320 aircraft purchase orders to be delivered from September 2011 until 2016, and 30 Airbus A321neo aircraft orders to be delivered from 2017-2021.

CEB recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Airbus for the purchase of the 30 A321neo aircraft, the largest A321neo aircraft order in the world. The A321neos will be a first of its type to operate in the Philippines, being a larger and longer-haul version of the familiar Airbus A320.

EATING is one indulgence that human could not do without even in times of deepest financial crisis or natural disaster. And Filipinos love to eat. So no wonder food industry is one of the most dynamic, if not the fastest economic stimuli of the country, perhaps second only to the remittances of our Overseas Filipino Workers. Steamy food is served until the wee hours of the morning from the multi-colored streets of Ermita in Manila to the sodium-lighted sidewalks of Magallanes Street in Davao City.
