Philippines’ carrier Cebu Pacific (CEB) and Saudi LCC flyadeal are exploring a joint strategic commercial partnership.
They inked a Memorandum of Understanding which is expected to lead to a wide range of collaborative opportunities.
The first phase of the MoU will see flyadeal take two of Cebu Pacific’s Airbus A320 aircraft on a wet-lease arrangement for the upcoming summer peak flying season in Saudi Arabia.
Reciprocally, Cebu Pacific is examining wet-leasing flyadeal A320s during the busy winter period in Southeast Asia.
Flyadeal recently announced plans to venture into the long-haul market with an order for 10 A330 widebodies to be deployed between Saudi Arabia and the Philippines, and across southeast Asia from 2027.
Both airlines plan to meet frequently to map out the joint commercial plans over the next few months.
