Cebu Pacific now flying to Dipolog

Cebu Pacific (CEB) adds another route to its domestic service with its three times weekly service between Manila and Dipolog City starting today, July 13, 2006.

The Manila-Dipolog service departs Manila every Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday at 11:45am, arriving in Dipolog at 1pm and leaves Dipolog at 1:30pm to arrive back in Manila at 2:45pm.

Candice Iyog, CEB’s marketing director, said that their Manila-Dipolog service reinforces the airlines’ commitment to strengthen local tourism in the country.

“Dipolog is known for its sardine industry and numerous tourist spots like the Linabo Peak, Sungkilaw falls, Cogon Jungle and the renowned Dakak Beach Resort which is located in the nearby city of Dapitan. It also showcases year-round festivities and presents itself as one of the major trade hubs in Mindanao. With the recent success of its Biyahe Na Zamboanga Peninsula regional showcase and the Hudyaka Festival, we believe that the “Bottled Sardine Capital” of the Philippines can become a major gateway for tourism and business in Mindanao,” said Iyog.

The Manila – Dipolog route will be serviced by the CEB’s brand-new Airbus A319 aircraft with a 150-seating capacity.

CEB’s regular ‘Go’ fares to Dipolog start at P868 one-way, almost 50% less than the regular airfare to the city. The permanent ‘Go’ fares are exclusive of regular taxes and surcharges. The fastest way to avail of the biggest discounts is to book early through CEB’s website (www.cebupacificair.com).

Dipolog is CEB’s 18th domestic destination. The airline operates more than 500 flights a week for the domestic market and also flies to Hong Kong and Seoul, South Korea.

Now in its 11th year, CEB pioneered low fares in the country in March 1996. It also introduced travelers to on-time service, e-ticketing, and on-line booking, setting the standards for airline innovation in the local aviation industry.
