MANILA – Cebu Pacific (PSE: CEB), the Philippines’ leading carrier, has been honored with the prestigious Best Airline award at the Routes Asia Awards 2024. The ceremony took place on February 28, recognizing the airline’s exceptional contributions to airport and destination marketing in the Asia Pacific region.
Collaborative Efforts and Accessibility
CEB’s success stems from its collaborative efforts with airports and local as well as international destination partners.
