Cebu Pacific reduces year-round
domestic fares by up to 65%

Budget carrier Cebu Pacific (CEB), the airline business unit of JG Summit Holdings Inc., has reduced its year-round ‘Go’ fares for most of its domestic routes beginning July 20, 2007.

The one-way fare for the Manila-Laoag, Manila-Legaspi, and Cebu-Iloilo services were slashed by more than 65%.  The lowest fares for these routes now start from P99.   Including taxes and surcharges, one-way fares are less than P900. 

One-way year-round fare from Manila to most Visayas destinations was reduced by close to 50%, from P568 to P288.  Moreover, one-way fares for Manila to Tagbilaran and Tacloban were cut by almost 60% from P688 to P288.  The all-inclusive year-round fare for this group is now less than P1,300 one-way.    

Lastly, the year-round one-way fare for services from Manila to any Mindanao destination was reduced by more than 30% from P998 to P688.  This is equivalent to an all-inclusive one-way fare of a little over P2,000.

CEB VP for Marketing and Product Candice Iyog announced, “We are doing this because we want to stimulate air travel even more especially for the bus and ferry markets that we serve.  We’ve seen how our earlier seat sales have successfully enticed people to travel so now we’re making these fares available all year-round.  We also want to reward those people who book ahead of time.”

“We encourage everyone to plan their trips and buy their tickets as early as possible, and ideally at least a month before their travel date, so they get the best availability of these super low year-round fares.”  Iyog emphasized.   

Iyog added that CEB’s fare reduction to domestic destinations will allow guests to spend less on air travel and more on their business and leisure activities. She added that the best way to purchase tickets is via cebupacificair.com.

Now in its 12th year, CEB has the youngest fleet in the Philippines at just over one year. CEB operates 14 Airbus aircraft to its 20 domestic and soon to be 12 regional destinations with the addition of Shanghai, Xiamen, Guangzhou, and Macau in the next quarter.
