Cebu Pacific (PSE: CEB), the Philippines’ largest budget airline, will introduce direct flights from Manila to Sapporo, Japan, starting January 16, 2025. This route, the first of its kind connecting the two cities, will operate three times a week on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, further expanding Cebu Pacific’s network in Japan and providing Filipino travelers with easier access to the country’s northern island of Hokkaido.
Known as Japan’s “City of Snow,” Sapporo is renowned for its winter landscapes, skiing destinations, and popular annual snow festival, making it a top choice for travelers seeking unique winter experiences. Cebu Pacific aims to cater to this demand with its competitive fares and enhanced convenience for leisure and business travelers alike.
The new direct route highlights Cebu Pacific’s commitment to offering accessible, affordable flights and underscores its strategy to grow its international footprint, particularly in the Japanese market.
