Cebu Pacific flies direct to Singapore from Cebu for only P1,499

Cebu Pacific (CEB), the Philippine’s low fare leader, will be operating four times weekly direct flights from Cebu to Singapore and three times weekly flights from Davao to Singapore (via Cebu) starting on October 23, 2006.

The Cebu-Singapore direct service is scheduled to operate every Monday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday while the Davao-Singapore service will operate every Monday, Friday and Saturday. Departure from Davao (to Cebu) is at 6pm and the flight consequently leaves Cebu for Singapore at 8pm to arrive in Singapore at 11:40pm. The flight leaves Singapore at 12:25am the following day, to arrive back in Cebu at 4:05am and in Davao at 6am.

CEB is launching these new services with a seat sale from September 5 to 12 only. The Cebu-Singapore service is on sale for only P1,499 one-way, while the Davao-Singapore service is offered at P1,999 one-way. Travel date for the seat sale is from October 23 to December 15, 2006.

After the seat sale, the lowest ‘Go’ fare for the Cebu-Singapore service starts from P2,499 one-way while the Davao-Singapore route starts from P2,999 one-way. Fares are exclusive of surcharges and government taxes. The easiest way to book and purchase tickets is through CEB’s website (www.cebupacificair.com).

“Cebu Pacific is aggressively expanding its domestic and regional operations. This signifies the airline’s commitment to further develop the tourism industry and encourage more Filipinos to fly,” said Candice Iyog, CEB marketing director.

Iyog also emphasized that the additional route is part of CEB’s expansion program. “This new service also comes in time for the 12th ASEAN Summit which will be held in Cebu City from December 11 to 14,” Iyog added.

The airline resumed its Manila-Singapore service last August 31 and also started flying to Laoag in June, Dipolog in July and Legaspi in August.

Now in its 11th year, CEB has the youngest fleet in the Philippines as it operates 11 brand new Airbus aircraft for its domestic and regional routes. The airline pioneered low fares in the country and continues to set the standards for airline innovation in the local aviation industry.
