Once the routes resumed, Cebu Pacific will fly to 10 domestic and international destinations from Clark, solidifying its position as the largest airline serving Clark International Airport.

“We are excited to restart four of our domestic routes from Clark. This resumption underscores our commitment to offering greater accessibility to travelers from north and central Luzon and provide every Juan with more opportunities to discover the beauty and diversity of the Philippines, one destination at a time,” Cebu Pacific president and chief commercial officer Xander Lao said.

Cebu Pacific passengers from Clark can fly directly to popular local destinations such as Boracay and Cebu, as well as to major international cities like Bangkok, Hong Kong, Narita and Singapore.

Cebu Pacific flies to 35 domestic and 25 international destinations spread across Asia, Australia and the Middle East.  

The airline announced earlier that it signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Airbus for the purchase of up to 152 A321new aircraft for $24 billion or P1.4 trillion based on list prices. It was deemed the largest aircraft order in Philippine aviation history.

The purchase agreement to finalize the transaction is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2024.
