Cebu Pacific said Wednesday it will launch direct flights between Iloilo and Bangkok’s Don Mueang International Airport, offering travelers from Iloilo City with a more convenient and budget-friendly option for exploring Thailand.
The airline unit of the Gokongwei Group said it would operate flights between Iloilo and Bangkok-Don Mueang three times a week or every Monday, Wednesday and Friday starting March 31, 2025.
This will make Cebu Pacific the only airline to offer non-stop flights between Iloilo and Bangkok.
Bangkok is the third international destination that Cebu Pacific will fly to from Iloilo. The airline also offers direct flights from Iloilo to Hong Kong and Singapore.
“We are thrilled to offer more travelers the opportunity to explore the majestic city of Bangkok. Strengthening our Iloilo hub allows us to connect even more passengers from the Western Visayas region to exciting destinations across our international network,” said Cebu Pacific president and chief commercial officer Xander Lao.
Cebu Pacific is offering a special seat sale from Feb. 12 to 16, 2025 to celebrate the new route.
Passengers can book flights from Iloilo to Bangkok for as low as P1 one-way base fare (excluding fees and surcharges). The travel period for these discounted fares is from March 31 to Oct. 25, 2025.
Cebu Pacific flies to 37 domestic and 26 international destinations spread across Asia, Australia and the Middle East.
The airline carried 24.5 million domestic and international passengers last year, up 17.6 percent from 20.9 million passengers in 2023.
Of the total, domestic passengers reached 18.5 million, up 15 percent, while international passengers grew 24.6 percent to 6 million.
The airline’s seat load factor averaged 84.4 percent, while overall capacity seats grew 17.1 percent to 29.1 million.
