Cebu Pacific Resumes Flights from Clark Hub
Cebu Pacific has restarted its domestic and international flights from Clark International Airport in a move to improve connectivity for passengers from Northern and Central Luzon.
The airline restarted direct flights from Clark to Bangkok, Thailand, and domestic tourist destinations Bacolod, Boracay, and Davao on Friday with daily routes.
Cebu Pacific has added 10,000 seats per month, and fares for both domestic and international flights are 30% lower than their pre-pandemic average.
The airline is set to take delivery of three additional aircraft, adding to the 10 new Airbus New Engine Option aircraft to expand the fleet.
The company plans to operate a combined 15 destinations from its Clark hub, flying to 35 domestic and 25 international destinations spanning Asia, Australia, and the Middle East.
The Department of Tourism has applauded Cebu Pacific’s efforts to help boost travel to Clark and the rest of the Philippines.
“The increased connectivity from Clark will further solidify the station’s position as a premier tourism hub in Central Luzon. This initiative will also attract more investors to find business opportunities in the area which will translate to additional jobs for the locals,” said DOT Undersecretary Ferdinand Jumapao.
The airline’s inaugural flight for Clark-Iloilo is set on April 22; Clark-Hongkong and General Santos on April 26; Clark-Singapore and Macau on April 28; Clark-Taipei on April 29; Clark-Incheon on May 5; Clark-Cagayan on May 6; Clark-Tokyo on May 21; and Clark-Puerto Princesa on June 24.
Cebu Pacific President and Chief Commercial Officer Xander Lao said, “The relaunch of our Clark flights today is a fulfillment of Cebu Pacific’s mission to help make air travel more accessible and affordable for travelers in north and central Luzon.
This expansion will give the traveling public more opportunities to explore the Philippines and the rest of the world.”
Noel Manankil, President and Chief Executive Officer of Luzon International Premier Airport Development (LIPAD), the private consortium that manages Clark International Airport, reiterated their support for CEB’s initiatives to grow its network and capacity from the station.
“Clark International Airport and Cebu Pacific are working closely with each other to ensure a seamless experience for travelers. Our brand-new terminal is ready to welcome Cebu Pacific passengers traveling to and from the best domestic and international destinations and serve as the window to the Philippines for visitors coming from different parts of the world,” Manankil said.
