Cebu Pacific starts Cebu – Puerto Princesa direct service

Cebu Pacific (CEB), the country’s low fare leader and leading domestic airline launched today, February 22, 2007 its direct services from Cebu to Puerto Princesa.

The Cebu-Puerto Princesa service is scheduled to operate every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. The flight departs from Cebu at 10:15am, arriving in Puerto Princesa at 11:30am. The flight leaves Puerto Princesa at 12:00 noon and arrives in Cebu at 1:15pm. The lowest ‘Go’ fare for this route starts from P688 one-way.

“We hope that these new direct services will encourage inter-island travel for both our local and foreign tourists. We’ve now made it more convenient and affordable for people to visit as many Philippine islands as possible. This is part of our commitment to further develop the tourism industry and improve the economies of wherever CEB operates,” Candice Iyog, CEB VP for marketing and product said.

Puerto Princesa, in the island of Palawan, offers tourists some of the best beaches in the country. The city also encourages all visitors to visit the spectacular underground river, the crocodile farm and Vietnamese Village.

Now in its 11th year, CEB has the youngest fleet in the Philippines with a fleet age of less than a year, and one of the youngest in Asia, as it operates 13 brand new Airbus aircraft to its 20 domestic and 7 international destinations. CEB awaits the delivery of one more Airbus aircraft next month to complete its $670 million re-fleeting program.
