Cebu Pacific Air Inc. earlier reported that its net losses from January to September stood at P12.05 billion, notably lower compared to nearly P22 billion in the same period a year ago.
This situation, the airline said, was “primarily driven by [a] significant increase in passenger volume, cargo services and flight activities as the COVID-19 restrictions already eased by March 2022.”
