Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • Immediate capacity injection: Cebu Pacific is taking two A320ceo on a damp-lease from Bulgaria Air to plug peak-season seat demand and keep schedules intact.

  • This follows recent fleet and reliability pressures at the carrier, including warnings about Pratt & Whitney GTF reliability that forced Cebu Pacific to moderate growth and constrain near-term capacity (see the Pratt & Whitney GTF reliability warnings).

  • The deal is consistent with a broader industry pattern of using short-term wet/damp leases to restore lift quickly amid fleet transitions or engine-related disruptions, as seen in other carriers' recent wet-lease moves.
