CEB upgrades ground equipment to boost efficiency

Low-cost carrier Cebu Pacific (CEB) announced last week the acquisition of new ground support equipment to enhance operations at Manila’s Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) and other key hubs.

The upgrades include high-capacity tow tractors, mobile passenger steps, boarding ramps, deck loaders, catering trucks, and electric baggage tractors, which will be deployed at NAIA Terminals 2 and 3 as well as various domestic hubs.

These additions aim to improve aircraft turnaround times and overall operational efficiency.

“As we continue to expand our operations, it is important that we also invest in the right equipment to maintain operational reliability,” said Lei Apostol, CEB vice president for customer service operations.

Apostol emphasized that the new equipment underscores the airline’s commitment to providing safe, reliable, and seamless travel experiences.

The investment is part of CEB’s long-term strategy to support network expansion while maintaining high industry standards in safety and customer service.

Currently, Cebu Pacific serves 37 domestic and 26 international destinations across Asia, Australia, and the Middle East.
