Cebu Pacific to mount A330neo flights to Iloilo, Bohol, Puerto Princesa starting Q4

Budget carrier Cebu Pacific will mount flights to more local destinations utilizing its Airbus A330neo aircraft starting in the fourth quarter.

According to Cebu Pacific, it will operate flights between Manila and Iloilo seven times weekly starting October 26, Manila and Puerto Princesa four times weekly starting November 2, and Manila and Bohol seven times weekly starting November 16.

In July, Cebu Pacific became the first local carrier to operate a 100-strong fleet after the delivery of its latest A330neo, which has 459 seats. This is said to be the latest-generation aircraft that can burn up to 25% less fuel per flight and produce less noise.

“We’re excited to expand our A330neo operations to more Philippine destinations, as this allows us more seats, lower fares, and an even more comfortable travel experience for our passengers,” Cebu Pacific president and chief commercial officer Xander Lao said in an emailed statement on Thursday.

“By increasing capacity to key domestic routes, we not only make travel more accessible but also help drive tourism and stimulate economic activity, creating opportunities for local communities and further supporting the growth of Philippine tourism,” he added. –VBL, GMA Integrated News
