Cebu Pacific to operate ten times daily to Boracay
(CAPA) Cebu Pacific announced plans to launch the Manila-Boracay (Caticlan) route from 29-Feb-08, and Cebu-Boracay (Caticlan) service starting 28-Mar-08. The new routes will utilise Cebu Pacifics new ATR72-500 aircraft which will arrive in Feb-08.

 

Both the Manila-Boracay (Caticlan) and Cebu-Boracay (Caticlan) year-round ‘Go’ fares start at P688 (USD16), which is almost 65% lower than the current lowest year-round fares offered by other domestic airlines for this route.

Candice Iyog, Cebu Pacific Vice President for Marketing and Product said, “We want more Filipinos to visit and experience Boracay. We hope to further spur local and international travel activity to one of the best leisure destinations in the world, Boracay, as we start our service to Caticlan. With our very low year-round fares, more Filipinos and overseas guests can now visit the country’s number one tourist destination.”

Cebu Pacific will initially operate its Manila-Boracay (Caticlan) service five times daily.  Upon the arrival of the second ATR aircraft in Mar-08, it will increase its frequency from five to nine daily services and also commence daily Cebu-Boracay (Caticlan) operations.

Cebu Pacific is acquiring up to 14 ATR72-500 regional aircraft manufactured by Avions de Transport Regional (ATR), based in Toulouse, France.
