What happened
Cebu Pacific became the first airline to utilize bridge-mounted equipment (BME) at Clark International Airport. This system, installed by the airport operator, delivers electricity and conditioned air directly to aircraft while they are parked at the gate. This setup allows carriers to shut down their auxiliary power units (APUs), which are typically powered by jet fuel. The shift to an "APU OFF" operation reduces jet fuel consumption and lowers carbon emissions and noise pollution in the terminal area.

Why it matters
The move is part of Cebu Pacific's broader commitment to sustainable operations by decreasing reliance on onboard power generation. The airport operator noted that the installation aligns with Clark International Airport's institutional goals to assist airline partners in reducing their overall fuel consumption and carbon footprint.
