CEBU - Low-cost airline Cebu Pacific (CEB) said it will ramp up operations to and from Cebu province with new routes and increased flight frequencies in some destinations, including additional fleet at the Mactan-Cebu International Airport (MCIA).
It said
these boosts are expected to result in additional 76,000 seats per month,
adding, direct flights to Taipei will also be offered daily starting June 23,
bringing CEB's total international network via Cebu to five. Earlier, it
announced the resumption of flights to Hong Kong on March 26, and to Narita,
Japan on May 1.
"Cebu
Pacific is proud to have its largest base outside Manila in one of the best
airports in Asia. We are excited to further expand our Cebu hub to connect more
travelers to some of the world’s best beaches and islands,” CEB chief marketing
and customer experience officer Candice Iyog said.
Iyog
said CEB now operates in 23 domestic destinations via Cebu, and 11 of these
will have more frequencies. These destinations include Butuan City, Caticlan
City, Bacolod City, Siargao Island, Dumaguete City, Legazpi City, General
Santos City, Surigao City, Clark, and Puerto Princesa City.
“Two
additional aircrafts will be based at the MCIA to support the expansion,
bringing the total fleet at the Cebu hub to 13,” she said.
