The eight domestic destinations, as part of Cebu’s expansion plan out of Clark, include Caticlan, Davao, Cebu, Iloilo, Bacolod, General Santos, Cagayan de Oro, and Puerto Princesa. The five international destinations out of Clark include Hong Kong, Bangkok, Singapore, Narita, and Macao. Cebu Pacific President and Chief Commercial Officer commented,
“We are excited to reestablish our presence in such an important gateway that will boost accessibility and connectivity for the traveling public. Furthermore, it allows us to boost our third operating hub in the Philippines that will help generate economic opportunities to support the country’s growth agenda.”
The Department of Transportation (DOTr) was also happy with Cebu Pacific’s decision to operate these flights out of Clark. It said that the increased connectivity from Clark will also help develop the station as a premiere hub for aviation and international logistics in the Asia-Pacific region.
