The Cebu Pacific Air has announced it will start operating its Cebu-Macau flight service this December in line with its program to further promote Cebu as a gateway to and from the rest of Visayas and Mindanao.
Beginning Dec. 7, CEB will operate the Cebu-Macau direct flights four-times-a-week every Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays. The flight leaves Cebu at 6:50 p.m., and arrives in Macau at 10:00 pm; while its return flight leaves Macau at 10:45 p.m., and arrives in Cebu at 01:45 a.m. the next day.
“Cebu Pacific is very proud to be the first to make this commercial connection available for every Juan, banking on the opportunity to grow our other hubs outside of Manila,” said lawyer Paterno Mantaring, Cebu Pacific vice president for Corporate Affairs.
“We believe that this new connection is not only an answer to our passengers’ demands, but will also stimulate both the trade and tourism aspects in both destinations as it makes available both passenger and cargo services,” he added.
Macau, with its prime location, allows it to serve as a gateway to Pearl River Delta, making it a perfect access point for business and leisure travelers alike. This connection gives passengers from the Visayas and Mindanao a more viable option to fly to and from the area.
Cebu Pacific currently owns majority of the connection between Philippines and Macau, holding over 50 percent of the capacity share as it now flies direct from three hubs—Cebu, Clark, and Manila.
To officially launch the beginning of this new route, CEB is offering an introductory, all-in seat sale of P999 until September 27, 2018, or until seats last. Travel period is from Dec. 7, 2018 to March 30, 2019.
CEB also increased frequency of its flights from Cebu to Narita (Tokyo) from four times a week to daily, effective Dec. 1, 2018.
Direct flights to Hong Kong have also been added, from only seven times a week to 10 times weekly, beginning November 26, 2018.
The airline, along with its wholly-owned subsidiary Cebgo, now operates direct flights to 21 domestic and five international destinations.
Aside from Cebu, CEB also operates flights out of six other strategically placed hubs in the Philippines: Manila, Clark, Kalibo,
Iloilo, Davao and Cagayan de Oro. The airline’s extensive network covers over 100 routes across 26 international and 37 domestic destinations, spanning Asia, Australia, the Middle East, and USA.
