Cebu Pacific said Monday it added three new domestic routes from its Iloilo hub, solidifying its commitment to improving inter-island connectivity in the Philippines.
The airline unit of the Gokongwei Group said it would launch daily flights between Iloilo and Tagbilaran on Dec. 1, followed by the Iloilo-Daraga (Legazpi) route on Dec. 2, with flights operating three times a week. Flights between Iloilo and Dumaguete will start on Dec. 3, also offering thrice-weekly flights.
“We are excited to introduce three new domestic routes from Iloilo, which comes just in time for the holiday season when many Filipinos go the extra mile to visit loved ones in different provinces,” said CEB president and chief commercial officer Xander Lao.
“At Cebu Pacific, we continue to explore new opportunities to bring every Juan closer together as we remain committed to making air travel more convenient and affordable across the Philippines,” he said.
Once the direct flights to Tagbilaran, Daraga and Dumaguete are launched, CEB will serve a total of 14 destinations from Iloilo, including two international routes: Hong Kong and Singapore.
CEB operates in 35 domestic and 26 international destinations spread across Asia, Australia and the Middle East.
The airline operates one of the youngest fleets in the world, with its diversified commercial fleet mix of nine Airbus 330s, 40 Airbus 320s, 23 Airbus 321s and 15 ATR turboprop aircraft, enabling the widest network coverage in the Philippines.
