Cebu Pacific is set to resume its direct flights from Manila to Hong Kong starting today, September 1.
The carrier intends to fly six times weekly except Saturdays for the month of September.
This will address the market demand in the Chinese territory as passenger flight operations of flag carrier Philippine Airlines have been suspended for two weeks.
CEB has been gradually rebuilding its international network as it answers the need for more flights to carry essential travelers.
“There is latent travel demand and we remain cautiously optimistic as we boost operations where it is needed most. We continue to listen to our passengers and we do all that we can to address their needs while we remain committed to prioritize everyjuan’s health and safety,” said Xander Lao, Cebu Pacific, chief commercial officer.
Passengers bound for Hong Kong need to complete the Hong Kong Department of Health
Online Declaration form and bring with them a negative RT-PCR test result conducted within 72 hours before the scheduled time of departure.
All guests must also show their confirmation of room reservation in a hotel in Hong Kong for not less than 21 days.
Apart from Hong Kong, CEB also operates regular Bayanihan flights from Dubai to Manila to fly home overseas Filipino workers. The carrier has also reinstated its flights to Nagoya, Osaka, Seoul (Incheon), Singapore, Taipei, and Tokyo (Narita).
To date, CEB has vaccinated 95 percent of its flying crew and expects to complete employee inoculation by October this year.
