From Dec. 16 to Jan. 7, Cebu Pacific flew 1.391 million passengers, a 7.4-percent jump from the same period in the previous year.
Cebu Pacific operates flights out of 7 hubs in the Philippines to 37 domestic and 26 international destinations.
“We are pleased to have enabled hundreds of thousands of passengers to make memories and moments during the yuletide season,” said Cebu Pacific chief operating officer Michael Ivan Shau.
“As passenger traffic continues to grow, we are committed to improving our service to make flying with Cebu Pacific more pleasant, safer and more efficient,” he added.
