Cebu Pacific (PSE: CEB), the Philippines’ leading carrier, has been recognized as one of the world’s top-performing airlines for sustainability in the latest S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA). 

The airline ranked within the top 25% globally and emerged as the most sustainable Philippine carrier, with a score of 47—well above the industry average of 37 and higher than most low-cost peers. The CSAmeasures how companies manage their impact on the environment, care for their employees and communities, and uphold responsible business practices.

“We continue to take a disciplined and proactive approach to sustainability as we expand our operations,” said Aileen Isidro, CEB Vice President for Corporate Strategy and Risk Officer. “The improvement in our S&P Global CSA score reflects how we’ve embedded sustainability into how we grow, operate, and govern.”

CEB’s latest Integrated Report reported progress across its ESG initiatives, contributing to its improved CSA performance.

In 2025, the airline served nearly 27 million passengers and operated over 170,000 flights, showing that sustainability gains can be achieved even as operations expand. During the same period, CEB avoided approximately 35,000 tonnes of carbon emissions and saved around 11,000 tonnes of jet fuel through fleet modernization and operational efficiencies.

It also reduced carbon emissions to 75.7 grams of CO₂ per revenue passenger kilometer (RPK), withlower emissions per passenger even as travel demand increased. CEB continues to build on this progressthrough its long-term goal of operating an all-NEO (New Engine Option) fleet by 2030, alongside expanding the deployment of electric ground support equipment (GSE) across key airports.

Beyond environmental efforts, CEB continues to invest in its people. Women now make up 51% of management roles, exceeding the Philippine average of 44%, while ongoing programs in training, employee engagement, and mental health support aim to strengthen workforce resilience and service quality. 

The carrier also maintains strong governance practices, supported by enhanced anti-corruption measures, strict compliance systems, and clear accountability across its operations and partnerships.

These initiatives resulted in CEB’s improving customer experience. The airline recorded a Net Promoter Score (NPS) of +35, up seven points from previous year, alongside gains in service areas such as boarding, baggage handling, and inflight service, signaling stronger passenger satisfaction.

Following a strong performance in 2025, CEB is building momentum as it celebrates its 30th anniversary, with a continued focus on expanding affordable air travel while advancing its sustainability commitments.

Cebu Pacific, the Philippines’ leading airline, is bringing more flavor to the skies with the launch of an expanded selection of buy-on-board menu items, giving passengers more delicious ways to enjoy their flights.

Every weave tells a story. For generations of Filipino weavers, each strand on the loom has carried history, identity, and pride. These artisans rise before dawn, sit before their looms, and let their hands speak in color and thread, each pattern a reflection of communities and cultures that refuse to fade.

Cebu Pacific Air, the Philippines’ leading carrier, has partnered with De La Salle University (DLSU) - Manila to mentor future aviation engineers through its Design Engineering Program.

The five-year collaboration, formalized through a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA), will give select DLSU engineering students the opportunity to work closely with CEB’s technical experts in designing and developing projects for real airline operations. These will include smart systems for aircraft maintenance and sustainable mobility solutions for the carrier’s facilities.

The outputs of these projects will also serve as their thesis or capstone requirements. “This partnership invests in more than projects—it invests in people. By guiding young engineers to innovate with purpose, we are building the future of Philippine aviation together,” said Shevantha Weerasekera, CEB Vice President for Engineering and Fleet Management.​

Twenty-five DLSU engineering students have been chosen for the program’s pilot run this year. This marks CEB’s first formal partnership with a university to embed practical airline industry experience into higher education. The airline said it plans to expand the program to more schools in the coming years as part of its long-term investment in Philippine aviation.

The initiative also reflects CEB’s broader push to develop homegrown talent. In May 2025, the airline launched its OFW Balikbayan Program, which encourages engineers working overseas to return and share their expertise with the local sector.
