CEB adding more VisMin flights (Sabong News)

Cebu Pacific (CEB) is adding more direct flights from Cebu and Davao this summer to enable passengers to explore more local destinations without having to pass through Manila. This April, CEB resumes direct flights to four new destinations from Cebu – Calbayog, Surigao, Puerto Princesa, and Legazpi. With these additions, the carrier now operates direct flights to a total of 21 domestic destinations. CEB likewise increased its direct flights from Cebu to 18 other destinations – Manila, Davao, Iloilo, Zamboanga, Coron, Boracay, Cagayan de Oro, Bacolod, Clark, General Santos, Siargao, Tacloban, Dumaguete, Pagadian, Butuan, Ozamis, Camiguin, and Dipolog. On top of this, the airline has also resumed four new direct flights from Davao. Flights to Bohol, Iloilo, and Zamboanga have resumed this month while Davao-Cagayan de Oro flights will resume in May. These additional connections bring up the hub’s total routes to six, including its Davao-Manila which flies up to 8 times daily; and Davao-Cebu up to 3 times daily. “Cebu and Davao are very important for us as they serve as our main hubs in the Vis-Min area,” said CEB Chief Commercial Officer Xander Lao. “We know that now is the perfect time for us to resume these direct flights while we see an increase in overall passenger confidence,” he explained. “We are positive that this expansion in routes and frequencies would further enable Cebuanos and Dabawenyos alike to fly to their favorite destinations in the country – whether to visit family and friends, or go on much-needed vacations over the summer season,” Lao added. CEB’s domestic network covers 33 destinations.
