This decision was taken based on the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Significant Safety Concern issued in December, 2009 and the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) downgrade to Category 2 in January 2008, both issued after audits on our regulator, the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP).

CEB wants to assure all our passengers that we continue to maintain the highest standards of safety in all areas of our operations. Our Safety and Quality Management Systems are built to global best practice standards.

In 1999 CEB became the first airline in the world to achieve system-wide International Organization for Standardization (ISO) certification. CEB has since then gained the upgraded ISO9001:2000 certification in 2003 and the ISO 9001:2008 in 2009.

CEB fully supports the efforts of Director General Alfonso Cusi, who was appointed on March 10th,2010, and will continue to work actively with the CAAP to help them address the findings of the ICAO and US FAA audits.

Additionally, CEB has received positive feedback from our own submission to the EU Air Safety Commission specifically they have said “The Commission acknowledges the efforts by Cebu Pacific to ensure safe operations and also recognizes that they have put in place internal measures to enhance safety.”

As a result of our submission Cebu Pacific has been selected to undergo an audit of our operations by the Commission and the European Air Safety Agency which will take place in May 2010.

The EU has advised that they will review their blacklisting decision at their next scheduled meeting, in June 2010

AT THE CHECK-IN COUNTER

1. Check in for the flight as early as possible. CEB counters will close 45 minutes before the estimated time of departure so please be at the airport at least 2 hours before your flight.
2. In case the passenger arrives at Terminal 3 one hour before the flight, immediately inform CEB personnel. It will always be recommended to check in as early as possible to avoid the stress this may cause. Remember, there will be a lot of people traveling and security checks will take longer.
3. Those with no check-in luggage for domestic flights can fall in line at the Express Counter.
4. Be at the boarding gate 30 minutes before the flight’s published time of departure.
5. Guests on international flights will still have to clear immigration, so please make sure to check-in early, even earlier than the suggested 2 hours before the flight’s departure time.

ABOUT AIRPORT AND SECURITY

1. Bring in advance the exact amount of the terminal fee in the airport of origin.
2. Refrain from wrapping gifts in metallic foil since this makes the gift appear solid during security screening and can cause delays due to security checks.
3. The final security check will require guests to remove shoes, belts with metal buckles, and coins, among others. So wear shoes that are easy to remove, and, if possible, refrain from wearing belts.

ABOUT LUGGAGE

1. Remember that CEB allows only one hand carry bag (maximum weight is 7 kilos) and gives passengers free 15 kilos baggage allowance (except for Clark which gives 30 kilos). Weigh the luggage in advance so there will be no surprises. If the passenger intends to bring more than 15kgs, remember to bring extra pocket money to settle excess baggage fees.
2. Fix loose straps and broken locks to avoid luggage problems.
3. Place identifying markers on the bag to easily differentiate it from everyone else’s.

FOR CONNECTING FLIGHTS

1. Allot at least two hours between connecting flights so there is more time to get the luggage and check it in again.

CEB flies to 32 domestic and 14 international destinations, using the youngest aircraft fleet in the country.
