The capacity increased 9.7 percent to 17.9 million seats, with an average seat load factor of 81.2%, the LCC said. “June marked a return to year-on-year passenger growth, driven by the continued strength of our domestic network even as we entered the traditional lean travel season. While international volumes remained below last year, this largely reflected previous capacity adjustments,” said Xander Lao, Cebu Pacific president and chief commercial officer. “With fuel prices having eased significantly and consumer sentiment improving, our market position continues to strengthen, and we expect a further recovery in operating performance through the second half of the year,” he added.
