Cramped legroom to stay as Cebu Air Inc plans new jets with top capacity


MANILA, Feb 15 (Bloomberg): Cebu Air Inc., the biggest airline in the Philippines, plans to configure its newest and upcoming Airbus SE A321 XLR jets with the highest seat-density offered, following up on a strategy that saw the budget carrier fill up widebody jets for low-cost, short-haul flights beyond their usual capacity.

"We always look to optimise the floor space that we have in combination with the number of lavatories, galleys etc.,” Michael Szucs, chief executive adviser of Cebu Pacific, said in an interview on the sidelines of the Singapore Airshow, which began Tuesday.

"It will be another high-density configuration on the A321 XLR, but it’s still a very comfortable one.”
