      Cebu Pacific Air, the Philippines’ largest budget carrier by sales, has signed a contract with Airbus for the purchase of 30 A321neo aircraft, reported Dow Jones Newswires.

The latest purchase agreement brings its total firm orders for the A320 model to 71, of which 16 have been delivered.

The airline currently operates 25 A320 aircraft, including the 16 purchased and nine under a lease contract.
