Cebu Pacific reports slight decrease in traffic figures for August 2025
Philippine low-cost carrier Cebu Pacific reported a slight decline in passenger traffic for August 2025. In light of how August marks the Philippine travel scene’s lean season, the airline flew 2.1 million passengers last month, down 0.4 percent year-on-year. Domestic traffic fell by 4.4 percent, while international passengers rose 13.3 percent compared to the same month in 2024. Into the lean season Airline CEO Mike Szucs said of this: “The softer year-on-year traffic in August reflects the usual lean travel season in the Philippines, particularly for domestic routes, while international passenger growth remained strong.” Szucs opined that the dip was temporary, with traffic expected to rebound in the fourth quarter as peak travel season begins and aircraft availability improves. He said: “We moderated our domestic capacity growth in August due to some unscheduled engine removals, the flyadeal wet-lease, and scheduled maintenance events in preparation for the busy holiday months. These actions enable our capacity to be optimized so that we can deliver higher growth in the fourth quarter to coincide with the anticipated strong demand.” From January to August, Cebu Pacific's passengers grew to 18.1 million, marking a 15.2 percent increase from 15.7 million year-on-year.
