Over there, especially in Indonesia, Malaysia and other countries close to Oceania, companies are looking for large planes to take advantage of their slots in the tight and crowded airports.

Aircraft has 9 seats per row, against 8 of an A330neo from Azul and TAP (Economy).

For this reason, Cebu Pacific, from the Philippines, ordered 16 Airbus A330neo aircraft, where the first unit was recently delivered by the European manufacturer, according to a post from this monday (29).

The aircraft impresses with its configuration in a single class (Economy) with 459 seats, which even required a special certification of the A330neo.

This aircraft must carry out regional flights of short and medium duration, to Australia, countries in Asia and even the Middle East.

Cebu Pacific currently has 7 A330-300ceo (previous generation) aircraft in its fleet, which are equipped with 436 single-class seats, an equally dense configuration. With more seats on its new A330neo, the company expects up to 25% lower cost per enger on its new generation aircraft.
