Philippine low-cost carrier Cebu Pacific has finalised a firm order for 30 Airbus A321neo aircraft, bringing its total A320 family orders to 71.
The carrier will configure its A321neos with 220 seats in a single class layout, and use them on its pan-Asian network, said Airbus. Cebu Pacific signed originally signed a memorandum of understanding to acquire the aircraft in June.
Cebu Pacific has not made an engine selection between the CFM International Leap-X and Pratt & Whitney PW1100G for the A321neo. The airline's existing fleet of A320 family aircraft are all powered by CFM International CFM56 engines.
