Cebu Pacific (PSE: CEB), the Philippines’ leading carrier, formally restarts today, April 21, 2023, its Clark hub by relaunching flights and increasing frequencies from Clark International Airport to strengthen connectivity for its passengers from north and central Luzon.
CEB flew its inaugural flights from Clark to Bacolod, Boracay, Davao, and Bangkok today. The airline previously announced that it would operate a combined 15 destinations from its Clark hub. CEB will also increase frequencies to four – Boracay, Davao, Hong Kong, and Cebu -- of its Clark routes.
The relaunch of its Clark hub allows Cebu Pacific to continue providing great value for its passengers, with an additional 10,000 seats per month and fares for both domestic and international flights 30% lower than their pre-pandemic average. It will also boost the airline’s network from its Clark hub and reestablish it as an important gateway for local and international travelers.
To support this expansion, CEB is set to take delivery of three additional aircraft which will be based in Clark. These are on top of the 10 new Airbus NEO aircraft that will be delivered in 2023 to expand the airline’s fleet.
“The launch of our Clark flights today is a fulfillment of Cebu Pacific’s mission to help make air travel more accessible and affordable for travelers in north and central Luzon. This expansion will give the traveling public more opportunities to explore the Philippines and the rest of the world,” said Xander Lao, Cebu Pacific President and Chief Commercial Officer.
CEB is firmly in place for full recovery as it restores 100% of its pre-COVID network and capacity, aided by its unbeatable seat sales, widest domestic network, and reinstatement of all its international destinations.
The airline flies to 35 domestic and 25 international destinations, spanning across Asia, Australia and the Middle East.(Bernie Cahiles-Magkilat)
