Cebu Pacific Ensures Fuel Supply Through April, Expands Plans for May and Beyond Cebu Pacific, the budget airline, has confirmed it has secured enough jet fuel to sustain operations until the end of April and is already taking steps to ensure supply for May and beyond. The airline highlighted this in a statement released on Wednesday, emphasizing its efforts to mitigate risks posed by ongoing tensions in the Middle East, which have disrupted global fuel markets. According to data published Tuesday by the Department of Energy, the country currently holds enough jet fuel to last approximately 38 days. Despite the potential for international disruptions to impact aviation fuel availability, Cebu Pacific stated it remains well-prepared to manage supply risks. The airline attributed its resilience to its strong financial performance in 2025, its focus on domestic routes, and its modern, fuel-efficient fleet. The carrier reported a significant increase in net income for 2025, more than doubling to P12.3 billion from P5.4 billion in the previous year. This growth was driven by higher passenger numbers, improved revenue from ancillary services, and gains from non-core business activities. Cebu Pacific also outlined its plans to continue modernizing its fleet in 2025, with the delivery of seven new aircraft and the retirement of seven older units. This strategy aims to maintain a fleet size of 100 aircraft while increasing the proportion of next-generation planes. As of now, the airline operates one of the youngest fleets globally, comprising 14 Airbus A330s, 27 A321s, 39 A320s, and 20 ATR turboprop aircraft. These planes serve 37 domestic destinations and 26 international routes.#middle_east #department_of_energy #cebu_pacific #airbus_a330 #at_r_turboprop
