Cebu Pacific to increase flights from Cebu to Iloilo and Tacloban

Budget carrier Cebu Pacific on Wednesday announced it is expanding further its flight frequencies from its Cebu hub to Iloilo and Tacloban.

In a statement, the airline said that starting August 5, its Cebu – Iloilo and Cebu – Tacloban flights will have two additional weekly flights as it continues to ramp-up its hubs outside Metro Manila. 

For the Cebu – Iloilo route, weekly flight frequency will increase from seven times to nine times weekly as it flies twice daily on Fridays and Sundays.

Cebu Pacific said the increased flight frequencies will provide Cebuanos and Ilonggos more options to fly between the two destinations for weekend trips or quick family visits.

Meanwhile, the Cebu – Tacloban route will increase from 14 times to 16 times weekly, making its Monday and Friday schedules twice daily.

This also gives passengers more choices on when they want to fly to Cebu or Tacloban, be it for leisure or business travel, the airline said.

“We are pleased to keep enabling everyJuan to easily fly across our widest domestic network as we continue to boost our network in the Visayas and Mindanao,” said Xander Lao, Cebu Pacific’s chief commercial officer.

“We have seen consistent demand for these routes, and we hope to keep expanding our footprint as more people confidently fly again,” said Lao. — Ted Cordero/RSJ, GMA News
