CEB strengthens Cebu hub with more flights!

The Philippines’ largest national flag carrier, Cebu Pacific (PSE:CEB) mounts additional flights to and from Cebu, in time for the arrival of its brand-new Airbus A320 aircraft from the Airbus facility in Toulouse, France.


On February 8, 2012, CEB adds flights from Cebu to the following destinations: Manila (11 weekly flights), Boracay (4 weekly flights), Dipolog (3 weekly flights), Legazpi (4 weekly flights), Pagadian (2 weekly flights), and Siargao (1 weekly flight).

It will also increase seat capacity from Cebu to Bacolod, Cagayan de Oro, Iloilo and General Santos on the same dates. These routes will now utilize Airbus A319 and A320 aircraft.

CEB also introduces thrice weekly Cebu-Kalibo flights starting February 24, 2012, and adds four times weekly Iloilo-Cagayan de Oro-Iloilo flights starting February 8, 2012.

“CEB is the largest airline operating in Cebu, and our passengers have the fastest access to key cities in the Philippines and Asia. With even more flights starting February 2012, CEB continues to offer them the most number of flight options and the lowest fares,” said CEB VP for Marketing and Distribution Candice Iyog.

The airline flew 2.56 million passengers in and out of its Cebu hub from January to November 2011. CEB flies the most number of passengers, and operates the most number of flights, routes and destinations from Cebu.

“With the addition of the Cebu-Kalibo route in February, CEB offers flights to 20 domestic and 4 international (Hong Kong, Singapore, Seoul, Pusan) destinations from Cebu, greatly contributing to the access of foreign tourists to the Central Visayas area,” Iyog added.
