Whenever I travel domestically in the Philippines, I notice that for every flight of another airline displayed on airport flight status boards, there are usually two to four Cebu Pacific flights. For each arrival of another airline’s aircraft, you’ll often see two or three Cebu Pacific flights arriving, especially in domestic terminals across the country. This is because Cebu Pacific operates an extensive route network from five bases and hubs across the Philippines.
There’s a distinction between a route and a destination. When we say “destination,” we refer to the city where the flight will land, like Tacloban, Davao, or Caticlan. A “route,” on the other hand, includes both the aircraft’s point of origin and its final destination, like Iloilo-Tacloban, Davao-Singapore, or Manila-Caticlan. So, a single destination, like Singapore, can be served by several routes, such as Manila-Singapore, Cebu-Singapore, and Davao-Singapore.
Cebu Pacific operates from five hubs in the Philippines: Manila, Clark, Cebu, Davao, and now Iloilo. This setup allows Cebu Pacific to launch multiple flights to the same destination from these five hubs. Given that the Philippines is an archipelago, this provides passengers more convenience by eliminating the need to travel to Metro Manila. It also helps decongest NAIA, Manila’s main airport, and maximizes gate utilization for the airline at each destination.
Here is an update on Cebu Pacific and CebGo’s route network as of this writing.

Cebu Pacific and its subsidiary, CebGo, operate a total of approximately 113 routes, covering both international and domestic destinations, from five hubs in the Philippines.
Will we see more routes and destinations from Cebu Pacific? Definitely. However, it’s unlikely that Cebu Pacific will expand to transpacific or European routes in the near future, as the airline remains focused on destinations and routes within four hours of Manila, with only a few exceptions.
