    Detailed PESTLE Analysis of Cebu Pacific Air

    The detailed PESTLE analysis for Cebu Pacific Air Inc is presented below:

    POLITICAL

    1. The sanctions against Russia have pushed up the inflation rate in Philippines: The sanctions against Russia have indirectly contributed to the inflation rate increase in the Philippines as they have resulted in higher oil and commodity prices, which have affected the country's transportation costs and food prices. The Philippines' inflation rate hit 4% in March 2022, with the skyrocketing oil prices being a significant driver. As a result, pump prices rose for 11 straight weeks until late March, and higher transport costs rippled through other commodities. As the cost of fuel and other commodities rises, the airline's operating costs could increase, putting pressure on the company's profitability. To offset this impact, Cebu Pacific may have to raise fares or reduce capacity, which could affect its ability to grow its business. The government has also taken steps to address the impact of rising prices, such as distributing fuel vouchers to public utility vehicle drivers and proposing interventions to manage the impact on the economy and the people, including expanding the supply of goods through tariff reductions and imports.

    1. International aviation industry has failed to meet 49 out of 50 climate targets: A report commissioned by the climate charity Possible found that the international aviation industry has failed to meet 49 out 50 climate targets the industry has said for itself. The report carried out a study of every target that was set by the industry since 2000. A growing awareness in people’s mind regarding their carbon footprint might result in the reduction in their willingness to take flights. They might opt to do away with air travel unless it is absolutely necessary. The pandemic has already shown that most of the business meetings, conferences, events, etc. can take place successfully online. For its part, Cebu Pacific has been investing in making its fleet greener and it claims to be the greenest airline in Asia. They have incorporated flights in their fleet which use 25% less fuel than the flights of previous generation and reduces their noise footprint by 60%. In May 2022, Cebu Pacific became the first Asian low-cost carrier to use Sustainable Aviation Fuel in its operations. The airline is also planning to launch green routes by 2025 and use Sustainable Asian Fuel for its entire network by 2030. Cebu Pacific is positioned well to gain customers by positioning itself as a green airline.
