Philippine Airlines (PAL) said Wednesday it will launch a new route connecting Cebu and Calbayog on Oct. 26, as part of a push to strengthen its regional network.
The flights will operate four times a week.
PAL said it would also add more flights to popular island destinations, with Cebu-Siargao and Cebu-Busuanga (Coron) increasing to three flights daily.
The carrier will also boost frequencies on five existing routes from Cebu. These include Cebu-Bacolod, from 14 to 18 flights weekly; Cebu-Butuan, from seven to 11 flights weekly; Cebu-Cotabato, from two to three flights weekly; Cebu-Ozamiz, from three to four flights weekly; and Cebu-Tacloban, from 11 to 14 flights weekly
“We’re investing in Cebu as a strategic hub to help drive tourism and economic growth across the region,” PAL Express president Rabbi Vincent Ang said in a statement.
From Cebu’s Mactan International Airport, PAL flies to Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), Seoul (Incheon), Tokyo (Narita) and Osaka (Kansai).
