CEBU Pacific (CEB) will implement temporary network adjustments, including frequency reductions and flight cancellations, in response to the Middle East crisis.
These changes are driven by the impact of the crisis on global fuel prices, which have more than doubled compared with 2025 averages.
Flight cancellation
Several international routes will be affected by suspensions and reduced flight frequencies between April and October 2026. The Davao–Bangkok (Don Mueang)–Davao route (Flight 5J 5964/5965) will be suspended from April 13 to October 23, 2026, while the Iloilo–Bangkok (Don Mueang)–Iloilo route (Flight 5J 5970/5971) will be suspended from April 17 to October 24, 2026. Additionally, the Iloilo–Singapore (Flight 5J 283) and Singapore–Iloilo (Flight 5J 284) routes will be suspended from June 15 to October 23, 2026, and June 16 to October 24, 2026, respectively. The Clark–Hanoi–Clark route (Flight 5J 5872/5873) will also be suspended from May 2 to October 25, 2026.
Meanwhile, several routes will experience reduced flight frequencies. The Cebu–Singapore (Flight 5J 547) and Singapore–Cebu (Flight 5J 548) routes will operate five times weekly instead of daily from April 16 to October 24, 2026, and April 17 to October 25, 2026, respectively. The Manila–Jakarta (Flight 5J 759) and Jakarta–Manila (Flight 5J 760) routes will be reduced from seven to four weekly flights within similar periods in April to October 2026. Likewise, the Manila–Kuala Lumpur (Flight 5J 501) and Kuala Lumpur–Manila (Flight 5J 502) routes will operate five times weekly instead of daily starting mid-April until late October 2026.
For long-haul routes, Manila–Melbourne (Flight 5J 049) and Melbourne–Manila (Flight 5J 050) flights scheduled on May 14, 28 and May 15, 29, respectively, will be reduced from five to four weekly flights. Similarly, Manila–Sydney (Flight 5J 039) and Sydney–Manila (Flight 5J 040) flights scheduled on select dates in May to early June will operate five times weekly instead of daily.
