“We laud the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines(CAAP), the Department of Transportation (DOTr), and other aviation authorities for their drive to improve the operational efficiency of our airport ecosystem in the country. Increasing the number of airports with night-flying capability would help promote tourism and improve connectivity within the country,” said Atty. JR Mantaring, Vice President for Corporate Affairs of Cebu Pacific.
“Moreover, increasing the number of airports with night operations will allow CEB, along with other carriers, the leeway to spread flight times and will in turn improve aircraft movement and traffic at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport during the peak hours.”
Prior to Dumaguete, Cebu Pacific announced night flights to and from Caticlan, the gateway to Boracay. CEB also has night flights to and from the Roxas City Airport in Capiz, the Laguindingan Airport (Cagayan de Oro) in Misamis Oriental, and the Legazpi International Airport in Albay, on top of trunk routes in Cebu and Davao.
Cebu Pacific flies to 37 domestic and 26 international destinations, with over 104 routes spanning Asia, Australia, the Middle East, and USA. CEB operates flights out of six strategically placed hubs in the Philippines: Clark, Davao, Kalibo, Cebu, Iloilo and Manila.
