Cebu Pacific to Launch Manila - Hanoi Flights

Cebu Pacific is to launch twice weekly flights between Manila and Hanoi, the capital city of Vietnam, on 17 March 2012.

Flights for this route are scheduled to depart Manila at 22:30 every Tuesday and Saturday, arriving in Hanoi at 00:30. Return flights will leave Hanoi at 01:00 every Wednesday and Sunday, and arrive in Manila at 05:00.

 CEB also operates daily flights between Manila and Ho Chi Minh.

“This announcement is very timely given the visit of Vietnam President Truong Tan Sang to the Philippines last week. He wished then for more direct flights between Manila and Hanoi. Cebu Pacific is more than happy to oblige, to further promote trade and tourism between our two countries,” said CEB VP for Marketing and Distribution Candice Iyog. “In 2010, Hanoi celebrated its 1000 year-old anniversary, making it among the most ancient capitals in the world.”
