KidZania, the global leader
in children’s educational
entertainment, is set to open

official airline partner.
“Cebu Pacific has always
been a staunch advocate
of education through travel.
Launching our new destination,
KidZania Manila, affirms this
commitment. A flight is the
best way to welcome kids
to this exciting, interactive
city. Similar to real life, flights
can lead to life-changing
discoveries and boundless
opportunities,” says Cebu
Pacific president and CEO
Lance Gokongwei.
KidZania Manila is operated
by its exclusive local franchise

CEB’S100MILLIONTHPASSENGERMILESTONE
Cebu Pacific Air is set to
welcome its 100 millionth
passenger after 18 years of
operations.
The airline launched its
first domestic flights to
Cebu and Davao on March
8, 1996 after the Philippine
government deregulated
air travel and opened up
opportunities for other
airlines. It pioneered low
fares in this country and
introduced many firsts in
the Philippine aviation
industry, such as one-peso
seat sales, e-tickets, web
check-in and other travel
products and services.
“This will be a significant
milestone for the CEB
team and it’s all thanks to
the millions of passengers
who’ve chosen to fly
with CEB through the
years. We’re fortunate to
have been a part of their
journeys. We look forward
to serving the next 100
million as we reach more
destinations and enable
more to fly,” says CEB
President and CEO Lance
Gokongwei.
Since its founding, CEB
has grown its network
to about 90 domestic
and international routes,
providing convenient
flight connections and
introducing affordable air
travel to more people.
Last year, it was named
by Centre for Aviation
(CAPA), a leading aviation
think tank, as the Low-
Cost Carrier of the Year in
the Asia-Pacific region.
