Cebu Pacific said on Friday the number of passengers it carried last year rose 4 percent to 19.1 million from 18.4 million in 2015.
The airline, owned by tycoon John Gokongwei, said growth in passenger volume was largely driven by the airline’s low-cost short-haul services, and increased frequencies in key domestic markets.

Cebu Pacific flights on average were 86 percent full during the year.
“Last December 27, 2016, the Cebu Pacific Air Group carried a total of 64,684 passengers—the highest number of travelers we have ever flown in one day. This surpasses our prior record of 62,947 passengers flown last January 3, 2016, translating to 1,737 additional passengers,” said CEB vice president for corporate affairs AJR Mantaring.
