Cebu Pacific's 2024: A Year of Big Numbers and Even Bigger Surprises
Wow, what a year it was for Cebu Pacific! The Philippines' leading airline absolutely smashed it in 2024, reporting a 16% jump in total revenue, hitting a staggering P104.9 billion. Seriously, who saw that coming? It's all thanks to a huge surge in passengers and some seriously smart moves on their part.
More Passengers Than Ever Before
They carried a mind-boggling 24.5 million passengers – an 18% increase compared to the previous year! That's a lot of people flying around. Their planes were pretty full, too, with an 84.4% seat load factor. And the best part? They completely dominated the market, grabbing a whopping 54.1% of the domestic market share and a significant 20.6% internationally. By the end of the year, those numbers even climbed higher – 58.4% domestically and 22.5% internationally!
Smart Investments Fueling Success
So, how did they manage this incredible growth? Well, strategic investments played a huge role. Cebu Pacific added 13 brand new planes to their fleet in 2024, bringing their total to 98. This expansion allowed them to add new routes, like the one to Ho Chi Minh City, really opening up more opportunities.
Celebrating 29 Years – Piso Sale!

The Fine Print: Profitability and the Road Ahead
Now, while things looked amazing, it’s worth mentioning that increased fleet and financing costs meant their net income was P5.4 billion (compared to P7.9 billion in 2023). Still, Cebu Pacific’s CFO, Mark Cezar, remains incredibly optimistic. He points to their strong position in the Philippine aviation industry and their continued investments as key factors for future growth.
