New Cebu Pacific plane

Cebu Pacific takes delivery of its second ATR cargo freighter to strengthen its cargo operations to and from domestic airports with short runways. Only a third of the airports in the Philippines can accommodate jet aircraft, while the rest can only be served by turboprops. The ATR 72-500 aircraft with tail number RP-C7253 was converted at the Sabena Technics DNR S.A.S. facility in Dinard, France. CEB’s first freighter that arrived in August 2019 was also converted at the same facility. Both ATR freighters, operated by CEB’s subsidiary Cebgo, are equipped with a large cargo door, allowing for capacity to be as much as eight tons of palletized cargo.
