CEB links Central, Northern Luzon to Japan via Clark

CEBU Pacific (CEB) continues to grow its hub in Clark as it is set to commence operation of its direct service to and from Narita, Japan. Cebu Pacific will be the first Philippine carrier to mount flights between Clark and Narita.

The new international route aims to harness the potential market of leisure travelers from Central and North Luzon, provide more travel options for Filipino migrant workers, and expand opportunities for inbound tourists as well as investors in the Clark, Subic and other special economic zones in the area.

Flights between Clark and Narita will run four times weekly (Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Sunday) beginning Aug. 9. The flight departs Clark at 7 a.m., giving tourists ample time to reach Tokyo by early afternoon, while the return flight leaves Narita at 1:15 p.m. (Tokyo time) and arrives at 5 p.m., which allows for land travel to neighboring provinces.

CEB earlier announced it would begin direct flights between its hubs in Clark and Iloilo, as well as between Clark and Bacolod on Aug. 9, as well as daily flights between Clark and Puerto Princesa in Palawan by Oct. 9.

The four new routes will boost CEB’s total capacity in Clark by 40 percent in 2019 alone, following a 75 percent increase in 2018 with the launch of direct commercial air service to and from Davao and Panglao (Bohol), as well as additional frequency for the Clark-Macau route. (PR)
