CEB celebrates over 50% market share for both passenger and cargo with 50% off system-wide seat sale
One of Asia’s fastest growing airlines, Cebu Pacific (CEB) posted over 50% market share in both domestic passenger and cargo markets for the first three months of 2010.
Based on Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB) data, CEB flew 1.97 million passengers during the first quarter, out of 3.89 million domestic air travelers. CAB data also showed that CEB cargo transported 20.49
million kilos, out of 38.50 million kilos in air cargo early this year.
This gives CEB 50.6% market share when it comes to domestic passengers, and 53.2% market share for cargo.
Because of this, CEB is offering a 50% off seat sale for those traveling to all its domestic and international destinations from May 29-31, 2010. This is for travel from July 1 to September 30, 2010.
This includes seats to and from Osaka, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Ho Chi Minh, Kota Kinabalu, Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur and Taipei, among other CEB international destinations.
Also up for grabs are seats to prime tourist destinations such as Boracay (Caticlan), Puerto Princesa (Palawan), Busuanga (Coron), Cebu, Bohol (Tagbilaran), Siargao, Dumaguete and Laoag. Inter-island flights for those visiting family and friends are also available, including Cebu-Clark, Cebu-Bacolod, Cebu-Iloilo, Davao-Zamboanga and Davao-Cagayan de Oro.
“We would like to celebrate with our passengers, given the things we have achieved so far this year, and offer even lower fares than usual.
Recently, Cebu Pacific also garnered the Gold Award in the 2010 Readers Digest Trusted Brand Awards,” said CEB VP for Marketing and Distribution Candice Iyog.
“With this 50% off seat sale, we stay true to our commitment of giving more people opportunities to travel to various destinations in the Philippines and in Asia. Tourism continues to be one of the main
drivers of the country’s economy, and we are doing whatever we can to promote that,” she added.
