Planespotting Pictures in MNL- Cebu Pacific

Cebu Pacific is a low cost carrier based here in the Philippines. It is the largest airline here in the Philippines by fleet number. Before their current fleet they had 757's and DC9's. Currently, they have a fleet of Airbus A319 and A320 aircraft, including a few ATR 72-500's. The Airbus A320 family accounts for about 81% of the airline jet traffic here in the Philippines, with Cebu Pacific accounting for 40% of the A320 Family fleet).

 


More pictures (local planespotters are quite fed up with too many A320's here in the Philippines... They would call it an "Airbug")

Notice any difference? Sure you do! This A320 is fitted with what Airbus calls Sharklets. Cebu Pacific is the first airline here in the Philippines to receive an Airbus A320 fitted with Sharklets. This one is RP-C3272, one of two (the other, RP-C3273) existing Sharkies here in the Philippines. This was taken in La Salle Green Hills.


The last picture :)

I have no pictures of their ATR yet but I have videos... Here are links to the videos.

(Not a planespot video/picture) IN THE FUTURE: Cebu Pacific will introduce a new type in their fleet, the Airbus A330-300. There are no A330's with their colors but in the meantime here's a video of an A330 with their colors as rendered in Microsoft Flight Simulator X.



P.S. This is my first post. Thanks for reading :D Although most of my posts may be about airplanes, my blog would not be limited to it.
