Background ✨
Cebu Pacific experienced strong demand in early 2025, driven by holiday travel and network expansion, leading to a network covering 124 routes, up from 104 in January 20241. The airline planned a 24% to 26% increase in passenger capacity for 2025, with expectations for a 34% rise in total seats for 20242. International capacity in the Philippines remained about 10% below pre-COVID-19 levels, but markets like Thailand and Vietnam performed well due to relaxed visa requirements3.
