“This 50-percent off seat sale is our way of thanking our passengers for continuing to make us number one in the Philippines. We broke several records when it comes to the number of passengers carried in the first quarter of 2011, and we will continue to offer more opportunities for every Juan to fly,” said CEB VP for Marketing and Distribution Candice Iyog.

Last March 30, 2011, CEB flew 36,949 guests, breaking previous CEB records for the most number of passengers flown in one day. The previous records were 36,893 passengers in March 28, 2011 and 34,871 passengers in Jan. 2, 2011.
