Tuesday, February 06, 2007 Cebu Pacific to add more Cebu-Zamboanga flights
DOMESTIC carrier Cebu Pacific (CEB) will increase its Cebu-Zamboanga flights from four times to five times weekly starting Feb. 21.
CEB is offering a P99-seat sale for the Cebu–Zamboanga service.
The selling period for the P99-seat sale will be from Feb. 2 to 8 and is good for travel from Feb. 21 to March 31.
Arrival
The Cebu-Zamboanga additional service is scheduled to operate on a Saturday and departs from Cebu at 1 p.m. and arrives in Zamboanga at 1:55 p.m. It will leave Zamboanga at 2:25 p.m. and will arrive in Cebu at 3:20 p.m.
Meanwhile, CEB will also increase its Zam-boanga-Davao flights from three times to five times weekly starting Feb. 21.
The Zamboanga-Davao additional services are scheduled to operate Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Schedule
The flight departs from Zamboanga at 8:05 a.m., arriving in Davao at 9 a.m.
The Davao-Zamboanga service departs from Davao at 9:30 a.m., arriving in Zamboanga at 10:25 a.m.
“We are effectively increasing our Cebu-Zam-boanga capacity by 25 percent and Zamboanga-Davao capacity by 67 percent to further boost inter-island travel and provide more options for both business travelers and tourists.
Fares
The additional flights will also mean that there will be more low fares available for everyone.” said Candice Iyog, CEB marketing director.
The P99-one-way fare is for immediate payment upon booking and is exclusive of surcharges and government tax.
“CEB’s increase in capacity for Cebu is a show of support and confidence in region’s growth and potential. By doing this, we hope to stimulate more travel between Cebu and other key provinces,” she added.
Re-fleeting
After the seat sale, the lowest ‘Go’ fare for the Cebu-Zamboanga and Zamboanga-Davao service starts from P568 one-way.
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 regional destinations.
CEB awaits the delivery of one more Airbus aircraft next month to complete its $670 million re-fleeting program. (PR)
