Daily flights from Manila to Dubai are scheduled to depart at 4:40 PM (1640) (Manila time), while flights from Dubai to Manila depart at 11:10 PM (2310) (Dubai time). It will be the budget airline’s first long haul destination.

The airline will take delivery of 2 Airbus A330 aircraft this year, and an additional 2 in 2014.

Cebu Pacific currently operates 10 Airbus A319, 25 Airbus A320 and 8 ATR 72-500 aircraft. Its fleet of 43 aircraft is the one of the most modern aircraft fleets in the world. Between 2013 and 2021, Cebu Pacific will take delivery of 17 more Airbus A320 and 30 Airbus A321neo aircraft orders.

    Good to see CebuPac taking A320’s with Sharklets. Sharklets are proven successful in increasing the fuel efficiency, I read here that Sharklets will reduce fuel usage by approximately 3%. These will also increase the payload to 500kg and increase the range of the aircraft by 100nm at the actual payload. This also in turn reduces CO2 of 700t for each aircraft annually.
