Budget carrier Cebu Pacific (CEB) on Monday announced it will add more flights to Bangkok, Da Nang, Melbourne and Sapporo in time for the holidays.
Starting Oct. 26, flights between Cebu and Bangkok’s Don Mueang International Airport will increase to four times a week with an added flight on Sundays.
The airline said it would boost the frequency of its flights between Manila and Da Nang to 10 times weekly starting Oct. 28, with two daily flights on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.
Beginning Dec. 10, CEB will operate daily flights between Manila and Sapporo. Flights between Manila and Melbourne will increase to five times weekly starting Dec. 12, with an additional flight on Fridays.
“These additional frequencies reflect Cebu Pacific’s ongoing commitment to provide more accessibility, flexibility, and convenience to our valued passengers,” said CEB president and chief commercial officer Xander Lao in a statement.
“As travel demand continues to rise, these expanded services allow us to better connect Filipinos to the rest of the world and welcome more visitors to the Philippines,” said Lao.
He said the increased connectivity “also plays a key role in stimulating tourism, enabling business opportunities, and strengthening economic ties with our neighbors in the Asia-Pacific region.”
CEB was the first Philippine carrier to operate direct flights between Manila and Da Nang, a city in central Vietnam, in December 2023.0
In October 2024, CEB started its Cebu-Bangkok (Don Mueang) route to expand connectivity from Cebu, known as the “Queen City of the South.”
CEB’s Manila-Sapporo flights, which started in January, have also become popular among travelers, according to the airline.
This year marks CEB’s seventh year of operations in Melbourne, Australia’s second-largest city.
Passengers can book flights through CEB’s multiple payment options, including credit and debit cards, and e-wallets.
CEB operates in 37 domestic and 26 international destinations across Asia, Australia and the United Arab Emirates.
