CEB expands Manila Domestic Terminal check-in counter capacity by 62%

Cebu Pacific (CEB), the country’s leading domestic airline, with the Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA), is adding five check-in counters to its eight existing counters in the Manila Domestic Terminal beginning July 15, 2007.
           
CEB announced that this initiative has been taken in conjunction with MIAA to cope with the airline’s increasing passenger volumes at the domestic terminal. CEB expects to continue with this growth trend as it aims to carry more than five million passengers for 2007.

Candice Iyog, CEB VP for Marketing and Product said, “We know that the airport experience is critical to CEB and we are constantly providing MIAA with feedback from our guests and together looking for ways to improve their experience at the domestic terminal.  The additional check-in counters will definitely help us shorten queuing time.” 

CEB and MIAA are also working closely together for other possible infrastructure developments to the Manila Domestic Terminal.

“We are very happy that MIAA has been very supportive of our growth and that they are open to working with us in looking at ways to expand the capacity of the terminal.  We hope that further enhancements to expand the domestic terminal are completed by the end of this year,” Michael Shau, CEB VP for Airport services added.

Now in its 12th year, CEB has the youngest fleet in the Philippines at just over one year. CEB operates 14 brand new Airbus aircraft to its 20 domestic and soon to be 12 regional destinations with the addition of Shanghai, Xiamen, Guangzhou, and Macau in the next quarter.
