Low Cost Carrier Cebu Pacific (CEB) is upgrading its fleet to A321Neo beginning this year as it takes first delivery of thirty two 236 seater A321Neo aircraft last January 20 from Ireland-based lessor Avalon.
Cebu Pacific would be receiving an average of nine A321Neo aircraft starting this year until 2022.
The new A321Neo fleet will replace all flight services at Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA), and Mactan International Airport to major domestic and International points served by existing A320s as the airline adds capacity to the slot-restricted airport.
CEB earlier added seven A321ceos to its fleet in 2018 replacing the expiring leases of seven A320s to add capacity at NAIA.
The airline also operates a fleet of 35 A320-200s and eight A330-300s for intra-asia and Australia service. Its subsidiary CEBgo operates a fleet of ATRs consisting of eight (8) ATR 72-500, and 12 ATR 72-600 aircraft.
The ATR aircraft are used for cross inter-island destinations mostly operating at airport where jet operations are not possible.
CEB boasts as having one of the youngest fleets in the world, with an average aircraft age of five (5) years.

Can these CEB A321Neo 236pax fly from Manila to Sapporo, Perth, Sydney, Melbourne, Delhi, Colombo, Kathmandu without weight penalty?
ReplyDeleteWe don't think so.
ReplyDeleteCeb Pac having a 236 pax in it's A321neo with 4-door configuration. Isn't it over the capacity given the ACF configuration is the one with the 236-240 capacity and not the 4-door configuration?
ReplyDeleteUnless they put seats along one or two of their front wing and middle aft exit rows.
They are in ACF configuration!
DeleteThe one in the picture above was an A321-200.
Aren't there 6 (or 8) doors on an A321?
DeleteThe writer must be looking at one side only where there are four doors per side, so in his perspective there's four. Well actually there's 8 doors.
