IN what could be a sign that things are turning for the better, budget carrier Cebu Pacific (CEB) announced that it is hiring additional cabin crew for its improving operations.
The move was in preparation for the travel demand and tourism recovery after the government eased travel restrictions.
The carrier said "as domestic travel restriction continue to ease and more destinations open up, CEB has been ramping up its network, which in turn, provided an opportunity for the airline to hire additional cabin crew."
The airline said it has reached out and encouraged former CEB cabin crew to apply as the company gets ready for growth and recovery.
"We know the year 2020 has been one of the most challenging years for everyJuan. As we continue being cautiously optimistic and prepare to paint the skies yellow again, we are pleased to reopen the hiring of additional cabin crew," said Felix Lopez, Vice President for People and Admin at Cebu Pacific.
The government's Covid-19 response has paved the way for greater recovery in the travel and aviation sectors.
The steadily rising number of fully-vaccinated Filipinos and the encouraging downward trend of new Covid cases have led to the much-anticipated easing of quarantine restrictions across many parts of the country.
Lopez added "this in turn has brought about an uptick in travel demand and opened opportunities for us to hire additional cabin crew to support CEB's recovery and growth."
The airline management said it has attained 100 percent vaccination rate for its active flying crew through its very own employee vaccination program, JG Summit Covid Protect, and various partnerships with local government units in the country.
