Cebu Pacific said Wednesday it incorporated the use of self-bag drop counters in domestic operations, becoming the first local carrier to use the new technology at Clark International Airport.
“We are happy and proud to finally use self-bag drop counters here in the Philippines, in line with our goal to make flying safe and easy for everyJuan. We believe this state-of-the-art contactless solution will make our services move faster and more efficiently in Clark,” said Cebu Pacific vice president for customer service operations Lei Apostol.
“This self-bag drop facility is one of the key features of Clark International Airport’s new terminal. We are happy that Cebu Pacific has now fully integrated the use of this contactless feature, bringing to fruition our promise of a seamless and hassle-free passenger journey here at CRK,” said Luzon International Premiere Airport Development Corp. chief executive Noel Manankil.
LIPAD is the consortium that operates and manages Clark International Airport.
CEB flies six times weekly between Clark and Cebu. It intends to operate daily by December 2022.
Pre-pandemic, CEB was serving direct flights from Clark to six other domestic destinations including Cebu, Bacolod, Bohol, Boracay, Davao, Iloilo and Puerto Princesa.
It also flew to five international destinations including Hong Kong, Guangzhou, Macau, Singapore and Tokyo (Narita).
“This enhancement is also our way of ensuring that we are ready to cater to the anticipated influx of passengers from Clark,” said Apostol.
CEB said it continued to implement a multi-layered approach to safety while operating with fully vaccinated crew, 95 percent of whom received booster shots to ensure everyJuan flies safely and conveniently on Cebu Pacific.
