Cebu Pacific Posts Record-Breaking Revenue for Q1 2025
Cebu Pacific announced a record-breaking P30.4 billion in revenue for the first quarter of 2025, reflecting a strong rebound in the airline industry. This 20 percent year-on-year increase highlights the rising demand for air travel in the country.
The airline flew seven million passengers during this period, marking a remarkable 26 percent rise despite adjustments in the Easter holiday schedule. This surge clearly shows that more Filipinos are eager to travel again.
Strong Passenger Revenue and Expanded Operations
Passenger revenue grew by 19 percent to over P21 billion, while ancillary revenue—income from additional services—jumped 22 percent to more than P7 billion. These gains contributed significantly to the airline’s robust financial performance.
By the end of March, Cebu Pacific operated 99 aircraft, serving 63 destinations across 127 routes with over 3,200 weekly flights. This fleet expansion and increased flight frequency helped meet growing passenger demand.
Cargo Growth and Financial Outlook
Aside from passenger services, the cargo segment also grew impressively. Revenue climbed 35 percent to P1.7 billion, showing that Cebu Pacific is capitalizing on freight opportunities as well.
Although the larger fleet and higher operations raised costs, the airline still maintained a healthy EBITDA of P6.7 billion. Net income reached P466 million, reflecting a balanced approach to growth and profitability.
Optimism for Sustainable Growth
Chief financial officer Mark Cezar expressed confidence in the company’s future. He pointed to strong underlying demand and smart investments that keep operations resilient. According to him, these factors position Cebu Pacific well for sustainable growth and better profitability in the coming years.
