CEBU PACIFIC is adding four new routes, including the Cebgo’s first international route from Zamboanga City to Sandakan, Malaysia.
In a statement, Cebu Pacific said it will start a thrice-a-week Kalibo-Clark flight on Oct. 30. The flight will depart from Clark on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, while the return flight from Kalibo will leave on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.
Its subsidiary Cebgo is expanding its inter-island connections from Cagayan de Oro (Laguindingan) Airport. Cebgo will launch flights from Cagayan de Oro to Boracay (Caticlan) and to Dumaguete three times a week, starting Oct. 20.
Cebgo is also launching its first international flight from Zamboanga with the four times weekly flight to Sandakan, Malaysia beginning Oct. 29. The flight departs from Zamboanga on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
This would make Cebgo the only Philippine carrier with a direct service between the country and Sandakan.
“Sandakan has had centuries of trade and cultural linkage with the southern Philippines, and we are especially proud to put in place infrastructure to further enhance these ties. Now, the previous 14-hour travel by sea is cut down to just a 40-minute airplane ride,” Alexander Lao, Cebgo President and CEO, was quoted as saying in a statement.
