EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS
MARKET SUMMARY
Cebu Pacific Air, Inc. is an airline in the Philippines offering low-cost flights. They cater
to their Filipino home audience by providing low-cost flights to destinations with a high
concentration of Filipino overseas workers or tourists, with a laser-like focus on affordability. It is
based on the grounds of Mactan-Cebu International Airport, Lapu-Lapu City, Metro Cebu. Its
operating area is within the Philippines. In March 1996 the Cebu Pacific entered the aviation
industry and has been the Philippine’s leading airline that has entered the aviation industry.
In 2020, the fall of air travel demand and perplexing government policies resulting from
the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in massive financial losses. With that, Cebu Pacific was also
forced to downsize half of its employees, reduce services, and move unneeded planes wherein
Cebu Pacific suffered P22.2 Billion net loss.
Being the leading airline in the country, Cebu Pacific introduced web check-in, E-
ticketing, and seat selection in the Philippines that encourage travelers a more easy and
convenient way of booking their flight. Then on, Cebu Pacific continues to be the pioneer in
strategic marketing, wherein they imposed GetGo, a lifestyle rewards program that rewards their
passengers who are frequent fliers with travel benefits such as a free flight with Cebu Pacific.
Cebu Pacific Air, Inc. never fails to attract passengers with their marketing strategy
where they closed a partnership deal with companies that offer travel and tourism services such
as hotels and resorts, car rental and entertainment ticketing services, and travel insurance
companies to provide a more comfortable travel experience for their passengers.

The top competitors of Cebu Pacific Air in the Aviation Industry in the Philippines are the
Philippine Airlines (PAL) and the Philippines AirAsia.
Philippine Airlines (PAL), a subsidiary of PAL Holdings, Inc., is the flag carrier of the
Republic of the Philippines and therefore the pioneer domestic airline of the country. within the
year 1941, a gaggle of businessmen led by Andres Soriano, one in all the country's leading
industrialists and it's the primary and oldest commercial airline in Asia operating under its
original name. Fast forward, Lucio Tan, a Chinese-born Filipino entrepreneur is now the
chairperson of PAL Holdings Inc. As you'll be able to observe in their logo, it highlights the flag
of the Philippines. Its main headquarters is found at the PNB middle in Pasay, Philippines.
In early 2015, PAL gave Google an inventory of key routes they wanted to grow and
began a "three-wave test with search ads" to measure consumers' interest in PAL tickets online.
To place it simply, search became their best sales agent. They were able to bring their senior
staff on board with a fresh, digital-driven approach by connecting the efficacy of their search
advertisements to ticket sales. Following its success in search, the airline is now focusing on
digital marketing.
In 2019, Philippine Airlines (PAL) was awarded a 4-star airline quality rating by
SKYTRAX, an international shipping rating organization, and just received a 5-star rating from
the US-based Airline Passenger Experience Association for the year 2021, despite the
pandemic (APEX). This is a quality distinction that honors high levels of product and staff
service in many assessment categories for both the onboard and airport environments.
Philippine Airlines has paved the way for search success and gained recognition by
Skytrax and APEX. Meanwhile, Cebu Pacific, a low-cost airline, has successfully dominated the
Philippine domestic industry, capturing almost 60% of the market. This percentage is double the
quantity that its rival Philippine Airlines holds domestically.
The Company adopted the low-cost carrier (LCC) business model or called budget-
friendly low cost in 2005, whose strategy is to supply affordable air service to passengers. Cebu
Pacific was able to achieve record results and earnings last year thanks to this local success.
While the airline has been ready to attract a profusion of recent customers, it also greatly
benefited from lower oil prices.
Cebu Pacific, the country's largest low-cost carrier, was honored at the CAPA Awards for
Excellence in Aviation in Singapore with the 2014 Asia Pacific Low-Cost Carrier of the Year
Award.
Along with PAL, Cebu Pacific offers flights in both domestic and international
destinations. Cebu Pacific flies to 25 international destinations. However, PAL has more travel
connections to international destinations than Cebu Pacific. Yet, when it involves domestic
flights, Cebu Pacific is the best option since they provide cheaper prices which benefit the
passengers.
Despite the characteristics and capabilities of PAL, Cebu Pacific remains a pioneer in
creative pricing strategies because it manages to supply very cheap year-round fares for all its
flights. It paved its own thanks to success within the domestic market after launching the "low
fare, great value" business model strategy and gaining about 60% of the market share. This is
often an enormous success made by Cebu Pacific which garnered double the number that its
rival Philippine Airlines holds domestically.
Another competitor of Cebu Pacific Air is the AirAsia Philippines. It was founded in
March 2012 and may be a local subsidiary of AirAsia Group Berhad that owns 40% of the
airline, whereas Filipino investors own the company’s remaining 60% stake. The corporation
relies in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and decided to enter the Philippine economy to assist the
industry and make new jobs.
According to the International shipping Association Operation Safety Audit (IOSA), both
airlines have passed the protection audit and are IOSA-certified. Cebu Pacific and AirAsia were
likewise reported to be off the EU Blacklist, indicating that no safety concerns had been lodged
against them. Both airlines have also maintained a zero record in terms of deaths thanks to
airline accidents within the past 10 years. Additionally, the International Civil Aviation
Organization (ICAO) country audit states that every airline’s country of origin meets ICAO safety
parameters because it also reveals that AirAsia scores 5/8, while Cebu Pacific gets 6/8.
Moreover, data from the Official Aviation Guide (OAG), the most important network of
travel data within the world, shows AirAsia Philippines having a slim lead over Cebu Pacific in
terms of annual On-Time Performance (OTP). AirAsia had a 63.1 percent OTP from June 2018
to May 2019, while Cebu Pac got a 56 percent OTP. This suggests that five to 6 Cebu Pacific or
AirAsia flights left and arrived on a day trip of ten, while four to 5 were late.
Two of the Philippine's biggest airlines, Cebu Pacific Air and AirAsia Philippines, take
credit for offering significantly cheaper flights than full-service airlines, with several trade-offs
when it involves cabin legroom and customer service. supported customer reviews posted
online and data from trustworthy institutions, this Battle of the Brands edition contrasts these
two biggest budget airlines within the Philippines. In terms of flight routes, the perfect airline for
you is the one that flies to your required location on your preferred timetable.
Flying with a low-cost carrier like Cebu Pacific or AirAsia has its advantages and
downsides. The most effective airline for you may be determined by a simple price. Other things
that are important to you need to even be considered. It may be a matter of safety or having the
ability to depart and arrive on time.

Additionally, Cebu Pacific Air offers the most routes per day and has the youngest fleet age.
As the fast growth of the digital world, Cebu Pacific's main distribution channel is the
internet. They make use of the technology as they introduced the web check-in, E-ticketing, and
seat selection in the Philippine aviation industry. This method allows passengers to book their
flights online which is very convenient for them. Through this, airline customers will no longer
have to print their tickets for them to board the aircraft because they can just store their ticket
information on their phones or any gadgets through a phone feature called screenshot and the
airline teller will just scan the QR code of their ticket during check-in.

sales offices and outlets that allow people who aren’t tech-savvy to still book their flights without
the use of the internet.

website that is reinforced by joining social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter in
order for them to advertise sales promotion. They also use word of mouth, public relations, and
events and experiences as a form of sales marketing which is very strategic for an airline
company.

competitive airline company that allows everyone to experience the adventure on air. Their
strategic way of marketing and distribution is impressive because they were able to adapt to the
trend of the new-technology which helps passengers to be in comfort. From its convenient
method of booking flights to its popular “Fun Flight” experience, Cebu Pacific Air is undoubtedly
the premium airline in the country.
