While Airbus maintained a bit of a low profile on the first day of the Farnborough Airshow, announcing just one order from Royal Bhutan Airlines for three A320neo and two A321XLRs, it used the show to celebrate Cebu Pacific (CEB)’s purchase of up to 152 A321neo aircraft, the largest aircraft order in Philippine aviation history. The partners signed the binding memorandum of understanding earlier this month and covers firm orders for up to 102 A321neos, plus 50 A320neo family purchase rights. CEB has selected Pratt & Whitney GTF engines to power the aircraft."

“This latest order demonstrates the growing opportunities for aviation in the Philippines and the larger Asia Pacific region,” said Rick Deurloo, president of commercial engines at Pratt & Whitney. “Our GTF engine will power this growth while delivering industry-leading fuel efficiency and sustainability benefits for single-aisle aircraft.” The RTX business said it expects to complete the purchase agreement in the third quarter of the year.
