Cebu Pacific added four new routes to its hub operations in Clark Freeport.
In a statement released on Friday, Cebu Pacific cited that it aims to strengthen its Clark hub operations with the launch of four new routes, offering daily flights to Masbate, Siargao, and El Nido, as well as twice-daily flights to Coron (Busuanga).
"This expansion aims to enhance connectivity and boost tourism in key domestic destinations," Cebu Pacific stated.
The addition of four new routes is due to the significant growth in passenger capacity at Clark International Airport.
The airline company cited that in April 2023, the passenger capacity was at 33,000 seats. The company said that they expect the number to reach 167,000 seats in April 2025, marking a 118 percent increase.
Cebu Pacific now operates 11 domestic and four international routes from Clark, solidifying its role as a major player in regional air travel.
During the launch event, Cebu Pacific executives, along with key government and aviation officials, highlighted the airline’s commitment to making Clark a premier gateway for travelers.
Present at the event were LIPAD President Noel Manankil, CAAP Acting Director General Lt. Gen. Raul del Rosario, Civil Aeronautics Board Executive Director Carmelo Arcilla, DOTr Undersecretary Jim C. Sydiongco, and Cebu Pacific Chief Marketing & Customer Experience Officer Candice Iyog.
