Cebu Pacific (CEB), the Philippines’ largest airline, has signed a binding Memorandum of Understanding with Airbus for the purchase of up to 152 A321neo aircraft valued at $24 billion based on list prices. This represents the largest aircraft order in Philippine aviation history.

The agreement includes firm orders for up to 102 A321neo aircraft, plus 50 A320neo Family purchase rights. Cebu Pacific has chosen Pratt & Whitney GTF™ engines to power these future aircraft.
