Budget airline Cebu Pacific said Monday it will expand its operations in Mindanao with the launch of two more routes in March.
The airline unit of the Gokongwei group said it would fly four-times weekly between Cagayan de Oro and Tagbilaran starting March 15 and three-times weekly between Cagayan de Oro and Bacolod starting March 16.
Both new routes will use the new ATR 72-600 aircraft that is expected to arrive in early March.
“Cebu Pacific stays committed in providing the best connectivity options for our valued passengers at the lowest fare available in the market,” CebGo president and chief executive Alexander Lao said.
CebGo, formerly SEAir Inc., is a now a unit of Cebu Pacific.
“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 is offering an introductory P799 all-in seat sale, for travel from March 15 until May 31, 2017. Travelers may book their flights from today until January 27, 2017 or until seats last.
The promo fare is inclusive of taxes and fees, while bags, meals and other ancillaries may be added as preferred.
After the sale period, the lowest all-in year-round fare, one-way from Cagayan de Oro to Tagbilaran is P1,235, while Cagayan de Oro to Bacolod will cost P1,806.
Cebu Pacific operates flights out of six strategically placed hubs in the Philippines: Manila, Cebu, Davao, Clark, Kalibo and Iloilo.
The airline’s extensive network covers 66 destinations with over 100 routes, spanning Asia, Australia, the Middle East and the US.
Cebu Pacific’s 57-strong fleet is comprised of four Airbus A319, 36 Airbus A320, seven Airbus A330, eight ATR 72-500 aircraft and two ATR 72-600.
Cebu Pacific expects delivery of one more brand-new Airbus A320, 32 Airbus A321neo and 14 ATR 72-600 aircraft between 2017 and 2021.
