Cebu Pacific mounted flights to Da Nang, the largest city in central Vietnam.
“From bringing life and love to the island of Siargao, to transporting Filipino workers to Dubai, Cebu Pacific’s inaugural flights has helped boost tourism in different regions and made it possible for travelers to discover places that used to seem unreachable,” said Cebu Pacific president and chief commercial officer Xander Lao.
“Today, Cebu Pacific makes history once again as we make traveling to Da Nang, Vietnam more affordable and accessible for every Juan,” he said.
Cebu Pacific’s Manila-Da Nang flights will operate thrice a week —or on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.
Da Nang is the third destination that Cebu Pacific operates in Vietnam, making it the largest Philippine carrier to operate in one of the most popular tourist destinations in Asia.
The airline also flies to Hanoi, the capital city of Vietnam, and Ho Chi Minh City, the country’s economic center.
Passengers from Manila previously had to book a connecting flight from Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City or a nearby country and spend at least ten hours traveling to Da Nang.
Cebu Pacific said with its new non-stop flight, passengers don’t need to pay for an additional stop or wait at another airport during their layover. They can reach Da Nang in three hours and save at least seven hours in travel time compared to flying via other airlines.
Cebu Pacific flies to 35 domestic and 25 international destinations spanning across Asia, Australia and the Middle East.
