Cebu Pacific to launch Batanes route on March 25

Thursday, February 22, 2018

Last November 2017, the Philippines’ largest carrier, Cebu Pacific, launched a crowdsourcing campaign via Facebook. Since then, netizens have been using the #CEBFlyMeTo hashtag to let us know where they want us to take them next.

Based on feedback in our Facebook community, along with a few other requirements—airport readiness (such as meeting runway specifications), safety and security processes, and passenger facilities and operations—we have shortlisted top 10 destinations.

CEB has tallied all votes and we heard you— by 25 March 2018, we will begin flying to and from Basco, Batanes daily, until October 27, 2018—just in time for the summer travel season.

“Our new flight to Basco is in keeping with our commitment to connect more of the Philippines and make air travel safe, affordable, reliable, and fun-filled for everyone. What makes this route more special is that netizens were actively engaged in the selection of our new destination—our customers were part of the process,” said Alexander Lao, Cebgo President and CEO.

With the addition of this new route, the airline expects to continue promoting seamless travel around the archipelago, while allowing more and more ones to travel more conveniently, at the lowest fares possible.

Passengers can now enjoy the rustic beauty of Batanes with its arresting landscape through connecting flights from Hong Kong via Manila for as low as HKD 1,275, all-in.

CEB flies to 37 domestic and 25 international destinations. The carrier operates out of seven hubs in the Philippines: Manila, Clark, Cebu, Davao, Cagayan de Oro, Kalibo and Iloilo. CEB has several brand-new aircraft set to be delivered over the coming months. From 2018 to 2022, CEB expects delivery of seven brand-new Airbus A321ceo, 32 Airbus A321neo, and eight ATR 72-600 aircraft.
