Cebu Pacific to Launch Flights Between Davao - Kalibo and Puerto Princesa

Cebu Pacific is to launch direct flights from Davao to Kalibo and to Puerto Princesa on 1 August 2012.

The airline is slated to operate a four times weekly service every Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday from Davao to Kalibo and to Puerto Princesa.

From Davao, CEB currently operates 8 daily flights to Manila, 4 daily flights to Cebu, daily flights to both Iloilo and Zamboanga and 4 weekly flights to Cagayan de Oro.

“These routes will be launched just in time for Davao’s Kadayawan Festival in August. It will open up new markets from Palawan and Aklan, especially since fares to Davao and vice versa are now 55% lower with direct flights,” CEB VP for Marketing and Distribution Candice Iyog said. “CEB’s extensive route network will also encourage Davao’s top tourist markets from the US, Japan, South Korea, China and ASEAN to proceed to Davao after visiting Palawan or Boracay. We believe in Davao’s potential for tourism, as the largest airline operating from this hub.”

CEB currently operates 10 Airbus A319, 20 Airbus A320 and 8 ATR-72 500 aircraft. Its fleet of 38 aircraft has an average age of 3.6 years.

Between 2012 and 2021, Cebu Pacific will take delivery of 22 more Airbus A320 and 30 Airbus A321neo aircraft orders. It is slated to begin long-haul services in the 3rd quarter of 2013.
