Cebu Pacific received the Asia Environmental Sustainability Airline/Airline Group of the Year award from the Center for Asia Pacific Aviation for its leadership in sustainability performance in the regional aviation industry.
CEB was recognized for its integration of various sustainability programs across day-to-day business and continuous collaborations with industry stakeholders to drive adoption of green initiatives with the regional industry.
Cebu Pacific chief commercial officer Xander Lao received the award at the aviation summit’s evening gala on Nov. 3. Lao also spoke at a panel session about CEB’s recovery.
“We are honored to be the pioneer recipient of such an award which should help encourage an even greater push and recognition of sustainability’s importance,” Lao said.
Before the pandemic, CEB began its sustainability journey through its early investment in fuel-saving aircraft. By 2028, it intends to operate an all-NEO (New Engine Option) fleet, allowing the airline to remain true to its commitment to provide low fares, while becoming more efficient and environment-friendly.
