Cebu Pacific plans to mount flights out of Clark International Airport to Japan.
“Manila is too full so we for us to grow more, we need to have more hub point to fly in. I think another one is Clark because that is also other international point,” said Cebu Pacific country manager to Japan Tomohiko Matsumoto.
Matsumoto added the airline planned to add more flights to Japan from Cebu.
“I think Cebu is one of Japanese favorite destinations so that is also being studied. Right now, Narita to Cebu is the only one that we have direct Cebu and Japan route but we may have other points to Cebu,” he added.
Matsumoto said Filipino visitors to Japan had been rapidly growing in the last five years.
“Every year the number of Filipino visitors are increasing by almost 70,000 to 80,000 and last year it reached half a million visitors from Philippines,” he said.
