Cebu Pacific Inc. (CEB) is set to launch three new routes in Mactan-Cebu International Airport (MCIA) this month to address air travel demand.
“We are excited to operate new routes from our second largest base, Cebu, as we mark our 27th anniversary in March. This is in line with our commitment to bring every Juan closer to each other as we make air travel more affordable and accessible to our customers,” said Xander Lao, Cebu Pacific president and chief commercial officer, in a statement.
CEB said starting March 26, it will begin flying from Cebu to Naga four times weekly, making it the only carrier to operate flights directly between the two destinations.
The airline will also resume daily flights from Cebu to Hong Kong beginning March 26 and on May 1, CEB will also restart its flights from Cebu to Narita seven times weekly.
With three additional routes, CEB will have direct flights to 23 domestic and four international destinations from Cebu.
To encourage people to travel, CEB is running a special seat sale allowing passengers to book their flights from Cebu to Naga, Hong Kong and Narita, and vice versa until March 1, for as low as P1 one-way base fare, exclusive of surcharges and fees. The travel period is from March 26 to October 28 for Cebu-Naga and Cebu-Hong Kong flights, and from May 1 to October 28 for Cebu-Narita flights.
CEB is set to restore 100 percent of its pre-pandemic network and capacity in March 2023.
It now flies to 34 domestic destinations and is set to reinstate all its 25 international destinations in the first quarter of the year. – Myla Iglesias
