MANILA, Philippines - Cebu Pacific (CEB) will increase its domestic flights in the fourth quarter of 2011, making available 33 percent more seats with the delivery of three more brand-new Airbus A320 aircraft in October, allowing the Gokongwei-owned airline to continue to offer the lowest possible fares in the market.
