This inauguration is very timely and in line with the airline’s preparations for the expected recovery of the aviation industry,” Cebu Pacific Chief Corporate Affairs Officer Michael Ivan Shau.</p><p>The airline said this will also help the company optimize cost since it won&#x27;t need to send aircraft to Clark or to any regional MRO.</p><p>“The Aplus hangar will allow for a reduced turnaround time for our existing and future airline customers.
