SLF averaged 84.0% for the period, while overall capacity in seats was up by 10.3% to 28.8 million.

“As we entered November, we proactively reduced our flying to preserve maximum capacity for the December and January peak period. In addition, November was defined by severe weather events, particularly Typhoons Tino and Uwan,” said Mike Szucs, Chief Executive Officer of Cebu Pacific. “These events, along with the challenges associated with re-installation of Airbus so ware at the end of the month caused further impact to our overall capacity. We now look forward to returning to double digit capacity growth over the coming months to align with the strong forward booking outlook.” he said.
