CEBU Pacific is eyeing additional flight entitlements to Singapore from the Philippines amid growing travel demand.
The Gokongwei-led airline has filed a petition with the Civil Aeronautics Board for the allocation under the Asean Multilateral Agreement on the Full Liberalization of Passenger Air Services.
The agreement, signed by Asean member states in 2010, aims to remove capacity restrictions on air services and establish an open-skies environment for passenger flights connecting cities across the Association of Southeast Asian Nations.
Participating countries allow designated airlines to operate international services without restrictions on flight frequencies or aircraft types.
Cebu Pacific currently operates flights to Singapore from Manila, Clark and Cebu.
The airline earlier reported that it carried nearly 18.9 million passengers in the first eight months of the year, representing a 4.1-percent increase from the 18.1 million passengers recorded during the same period in 2025.
Domestic passenger traffic accounted for much of the growth, increasing 5.3 percent to 14.2 million passengers. International passengers edged up 0.5 percent to 4.6 million.
The airline’s average seat load factor (SLF) for the January-to-August period stood at 81.9 percent, while total seat capacity rose 8.2 percent to 23 million seats.
Cebu Pacific currently serves 36 domestic and 25 international destinations, giving it the widest network coverage in the Philippines. The airline operates a fleet of 101 aircraft, which it describes as one of the youngest fleets in the world.
Shares of Cebu Air Inc., the airline’s operator, slipped P0.75, or 3.48 percent, to close at P20.80 each on Thursday.
