CEB is also planning to deploy the new aircraft in two new routes, from Manila to Masbate and Tablas, by next week.
Cebgo president and CEO Alexander Lao said: “We are glad to take delivery of another brand-new ATR 72-600, especially since this is the first to have the titanium seats from Expliseat installed.
“This aircraft therefore combines reduced seat costs while optimising comfort for passengers.
“Furthermore, this latest order allows us to fulfil our commitment in increasing inter-island connectivity, while offering our unbeatable low fares through this aircraft's fuel efficiency.”
