BUDGET carrier Cebu Pacific, operated by Cebu Air, Inc., said on Wednesday that it is increasing seat availability for travelers to Legazpi in anticipation of higher demand during the summer peak travel season.
Cebu Pacific “resumed its jet operations at the Bicol International Airport starting May 1, 2022,” the airline said in a statement.
“Since the new airport opened in October last year, we have been operating our 78-seater ATR or turbo propeller type aircraft. The addition of jet flights will enable CEB to serve more passengers with our Airbus fleet while continuously contributing to tourism and economic growth of the Bicol region,” it added.
The airline currently operates the Manila-Legazpi-Manila route up to five times daily. It operates four weekly flights between Cebu and Legazpi, on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays.
The airline recently resumed domestic flights to Clark International Airport. Cebu Pacific started operating the Clark-Cebu route in 2006.
Before the pandemic, the airline was also serving direct flights from Clark to six other domestic destinations, namely: Bacolod, Bohol, Boracay, Davao, Iloilo, and Puerto Princesa. It also flew to four international destinations then, namely: Hong Kong, Macau, Singapore, and Tokyo. — Arjay L. Balinbin
