    Cebu Pacific to begin Cebu-Busuanga flights in October

    Budget carrier Cebu Pacific announced on Thursday, August 15, that it is launching direct flights from Cebu to Busuanga (Coron) in Palawan.

    Cebu Pacific’s subsidiary Cebgo will fly twice daily between the Mactan-Cebu International Airport and Francisco B. Reyes Airport, beginning October 27 this year.

    • 1st flight
      • departing Cebu at 7:25 am, arriving in Busuanga at 9 am
      • (turnaround flight) departing Busuanga at 9:20 am, arriving in Cebu at 11 am
    • 2nd flight
      • departing Cebu at 10:25 am, arriving in Busuanga at 12:05 pm
      • (turnaround flight) departing Busuanga at 12:25 pm, arriving in Cebu at 2:10 pm

    “We believe that these twice daily flights will enable residents from Cebu and other parts of Visayas and Mindanao to explore Palawan, without having to make the trip to Metro Manila to catch their flights,” said Cebgo president and chief executive officer Alexander Lao in a statement on Thursday.

    “With this direct Cebu-Busuanga route, the islands of Coron and Culion are easier to get to. This will also allow locals from the rest of Southern Luzon to easily connect to Cebu and its network of over 20 domestic and 6 international destinations,” he added.

    Cebu Pacific is having a seat sale for the new route from Thursday until Saturday, August 17, with a base fare as low as P299. The travel period is from October 27, 2019 to March 28, 2020.

    Aside from Cebu, Cebu Pacific operates flights out of Manila, Clark, Kalibo, Iloilo, Davao, and Cagayan de Oro.

    Its network covers over 100 routes and 64 destinations, spanning Asia, Australia, the Middle East, and the United States.

    Cebu Pacific to open Cagayan de Oro-Bacolod flights

    CEBU Pacific announced Monday that its Cagayan de Oro City-Bacolod City route will start on March 16. For this new route, the airline will have three flights per week specifically on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Cebu Pacific said in a press statement this is one of the two routes it is launching in the next two months.

    The other one is between Cagayan de Oro and Tagbilaran City starting March 15, with four flights weekly every Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Both new routes will be using the new ATR 72-600 aircraft expected to arrive in early March. To introduce these routes, the airline said it is offering an introductory P799 all-in seat sale for those who will travel from March 15 to May 31. Travelers may now book their flights until January 27, or until seats last.

    The promo fare is inclusive of taxes and fees. Bags, meals, and other ancillaries may be added as preferred, it added. Alexander Lao, president and chief executive of Cebgo, said the new routes will open great opportunities for “every Juan” both business and leisure travelers, enabling them to visit the Visayas region more conveniently.

    At the same time, passengers from Tagbilaran and Bacolod will now be able to explore Mindanao without the hassle, through the gateway that is Cagayan de Oro, Lao said. “Cebu Pacific stays committed in providing the best connectivity options for our valued passengers at the lowest fare available in the market,” Lao said. After the sale period, the one-way trip from Cagayan de Oro to Bacolod would cost P1,806; and Cagayan de Oro to Tagbilaran, P1, 235. The airline remains devoted to exploring more routes to cater to more of our valued guests, and also to beef up economic, trade, and tourism in the destinations we operate in, its official added.
