Taking advantage of the leisure and tourism travels regulations implemented by the Philippine government, Filipinos can now finally take advantage of their much awaited vacations with family and friends, albeit safely and responsibly.
Mindful of the demand for outbound travels, Cebu Pacific expands operations to key international destinations and will resume flights to Bali, Hanoi, and Sydney to bring the number of its international destinations to 16 by end-June as the Philippines’ leading airline continues to ramp up its frequencies on overseas routes with the easing of travel restrictions.
In May, CEB intends to operate twice weekly flights on the Manila-Hanoi-Manila and Manila-Bali-Manila routes. Thrice weekly flights to and from Sydney, Australia will restart in June.
CEB has resumed flying to six international routes – Bangkok, Fukuoka, Jakarta, Dubai, Hong Kong, and Ho Chi Minh — from January to April.
CEB also currently flies to Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Seoul (Incheon), Nagoya, Tokyo (Narita), Osaka and Guangzhou.
“We fully support the Department of Tourism’s initiatives to restore tourism. We would also like to congratulate the Department of Tourism (DOT) on hosting this year’s World Travel and Tourism Council Global Summit, our first major face-to-face event that signals international travel’s confident recovery. We invite Filipinos and foreign visitors to plan their travels to the Philippines and explore its beauty, or simply visit family and friends. We look forward to welcoming everyone onboard,” said Xander Lao, CEB chief commercial officer, in a press conference at the WTTC Global Summit.

“We are happy to keep enabling everyJuan to safely fly across our largest Philippine network. We are hopeful we can continue contributing to the economic and tourism agenda in and out of the Philippines,” Lao said.
Meanwhile, Candice Iyog, CebuPac Vice President for Marketing and Customer Experience underscored that while they are happy and excited to serve the Filipinos and other foreigners traveling from the Philippines, the airline will continue to observe their health protocols for the safety of all the passengers.
