BUDGET carrier Cebu Pacific is hiking its flight frequencies from Manila, Cebu, Iloilo and Davao to key domestic and international destinations to accommodate passenger demand during the summer peak travel period.
The airline will add a daily flight from Manila to the popular vacation spot of Bohol (Tagbilaran), for a total of 28 weekly flights beginning on April 1. The low-cost carrier will also strengthen its Cebu hub with a total of 51 weekly flights between Cebu and Davao, gateway to the Philippines’s southern islands, beginning on May 1.
Throughout the summer season, the airline will also increase frequencies from Cebu to the following domestic destinations: Bacolod (up to 17 weekly), General Santos City (up to 10 weekly), Kalibo (up to 17 weekly), Puerto Princesa (up to 22 weekly) and Zamboanga (up to 12 weekly).
Those flying between Cebu and Iloilo can choose among 16 weekly flights, with some flights upgraded from ATR to Airbus A320 aircraft to increase the number of available seats.
Within the first week of April, Cebu Pacific also aims to meet robust passenger traffic in the Visayas and Mindanao with additional three weekly frequencies between Iloilo and Davao, and two weekly frequencies between Davao and Zamboanga. Four weekly frequencies between Zamboanga and Tawi-Tawi will also be added starting on May 1.
Meanwhile, passengers heading to Singapore can avail themselves of more travel options as Cebu Pacific ramps up its flights from both Iloilo and Davao to the Lion City.
Beginning on March 30, the airline will add one flight per week from Iloilo to Singapore, and another flight per week from Davao to Singapore starting on April 2.
The carrier’s Iloilo and Davao hubs will operate three weekly flights each to Singapore.
“We hope to encourage our valued guests to cross more destinations off their travel bucket list, with our additional flights this summer. Passengers can maximize their vacation by taking advantage of our lowest year-round fares and widest flight network in the Philippines,” Cebu Pacific Vice President for Corporate Affairs Paterno S. Mantaring Jr. said.
Cebu Pacific’s 57-strong fleet include eight Airbus A319, 35 Airbus A320, six Airbus A330 and eight ATR 72-500 aircraft.
