Bilyonaryo Lance Gokongwei-led Cebu Pacific is riding a steady wave of travel resurgence, reporting an 18.3% year-on-year increase in passenger traffic in April 2025. The budget airline flew 2.3 million passengers during the month, with a strong load factor of 83.8%, supported by a 20.1% jump in seat capacity.

"These positive trends reinforce our favorable outlook for the second quarter. We are committed to optimizing our capacity to meet rising consumer demand while managing engine and supply chain challenges," said Cebu Pacific CFO Mark Cezar.
