Cebu Pacific is set to exceed its Cebu hub’s pre-pandemic network and capacity, which will hit 129% in June. The airline is increasing its network from the Mactan-Cebu International Airport (MCIA) to a total of 23 domestic and 5 international destinations. In addition, CEB will start operating daily direct flights between Cebu and Taipei, increasing its network to 28 combined domestic and international routes operating in MCIA. To support this expansion, CEB will increase its Cebu hub’s fleet to 13, with 2 additional aircraft to be based at MCIA.

With the new and resumed flights from Cebu, as well as the additional frequencies, the total number of seats is expected to increase by 21%, equivalent to 76,000 more seats per month. The airline will also increase its flight frequencies to 11 of its destinations from Cebu. This expansion is part of the airline’s plan to connect more travelers to some of the world’s best beaches and islands.
To encourage passengers to travel, CEB is launching a special seat sale from March 20 to 23, allowing travelers from Visayas and Mindanao to book their flights to select domestic and international destinations for as low as PHP 1 one-way base fare, exclusive of fees and surcharges. The travel period is from June 1 to September 30, 2023.
“Cebu Pacific is proud to have its largest base outside Manila in one of the best airports in Asia. We are excited to further expand our Cebu hub to connect more travelers to some of the world’s best beaches and islands,” said Candice Iyog, Cebu Pacific Chief Marketing and Customer Experience Officer.
The expansion of the CEB’s hubs in Clark and Cebu comes as the airline turns 27 years old this March. The airline celebrated the milestone by holding a special anniversary gathering at NUSTAR Resort and Casino in Cebu City.
CEB currently flies to 34 domestic and 25 international destinations, spanning across Asia, Australia, and the Middle East. With the increasing travel demand, the airline is increasing its fleet and route network to cater to more passengers.
