Cebu Pacific (CEB) will fly to more local cities from its Cebu hub and will base two more ATR72-500 aircraft in Cebu on top of the current Cebu-based of four Airbus aircraft.
CEB will fly from Cebu to Dipolog, Ozamiz and Surigao. It will also start operating a Manila-Busuanga service.
Lance Y. Gokongwei, CEB president and CEO, said, “With the arrival of two more ATR aircraft, we will be able to continue adding new services to airports that cannot accommodate our bigger jets. This will also mean that we will start offering our trademark low fares in these markets, making travel affordable for every Filipino.”
The budget airline will introduce the Cebu services to Dipolog, Ozamiz and Surigao with a P688 one-way all-inclusive fare and Manila-Busuanga with a P988 one-way all-inclusive fare. Sale period is from 29-Aug to 01-Sept and are good for travel from the start date of the particular service until 17-Dec-08.
Promotional fares are on a book-and-buy basis and are non-refundable.
The seat sale fares are up to 57% lower than the fares currently offered for these routes by other airlines. After the seat sale, CEB’s all-in year-round fares are still up to 25% lower.
“We also hope to bring economic development to these new destinations as we have done in the areas we currently serve. Development in these areas cannot be achieved overnight but by careful planning and cooperation from all sectors, we expect to be a major cog in this effort,” Gokongwei added.
The Cebu-Dipolog service starts on 03-Oct-08 and flies thrice weekly. The flight departs Cebu at 1:20pm and arrives at 2:10pm. The return flight to Cebu leaves at 2:30pm and arrives at 3:20pm.
