Philippine airline Cebu Pacific Air is close to placing a major order for up to 150 Airbus A320neo aircraft, Bloomberg reported, citing informed sources. The order is currently in the final stages, but no final decision has been made yet.
Cebu Pacific, known for its Airbus fleet, had already confirmed in January that they were considering a fleet order. CEO Mike Szucs had previously expressed interest in offers from other manufacturers, but prefers a consolidated order from Airbus.
The upcoming Farnborough Air Show in July could serve as a platform for the official announcement of the order, according to Bloomberg. The potential order, which involves Airbus A320neo models, would be the largest single order in the history of a Philippine airline.
Cebu Pacific currently operates a fleet of 68 aircraft, including various models of the A320 family and A330 models. In addition, the airline has a significant order backlog of A320neo and A321neo aircraft.
