Cebu Pacific became the first airline to use bridge‑mounted equipment (BME) at Clark International Airport, with the system installed by LIPAD and in operation since October 2026.
The BME provides electricity and cooled air directly to aircraft at the gate, enabling "APU OFF" operation that lowers jet fuel consumption, carbon emissions and noise, and the airline first adopted the technology at Mactan‑Cebu International Airport in 2024 while also deploying electric ground support equipment, GPU and ACU at that airport and at Ninoy Aquino International Airport.
Why it matters
The shift to BME reduces fuel use, emissions and noise, supporting sustainable ground‑operations goals for airlines and airports.
