Cebu Pacific said it received three consecutive deliveries of new units from Airbus in just a span of seven days in October.

By batch, Cebu Pacific took in two A321neos—one on Oct. 23 and one on Oct. 30—and an A320ceo, which arrived on Oct. 28.

With this, the airline owned by the Gokongweis has received 15 aircraft so far this year, allowing it to pursue network expansion both here and overseas. Earlier, Cebu Pacific said it expects to receive 17 aircraft this year.
