Cebu Pacific is ramping up its flights to Singapore from two of its largest hubs, Manila and Cebu, starting in July.
The low-cost carrier is doubling its daily frequency between Manila and Singapore on July 1 as it adds a morning schedule option.
Flight 5J 813 is scheduled to depart Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 3 at 5:35am and is set to arrive at Changi Airport at 9:20am. Its return flight, 5J 814, is scheduled to leave Singapore at 10:15am and arrive in Manila at 2pm.
On July 15, Cebu Pacific will restart its flights between Cebu and Singapore, beginning with a thrice-weekly frequency on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
Flight 5J 547 is scheduled to depart Mactan Cebu International Airport Terminal 2 at 11:05pm, and is set to arrive at Changi Airport by 3am the following day. Its return flight, 5J 548, every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, is scheduled to leave Singapore at 4am and arrive in Manila at 8:05am.
“We are delighted to continue ramping-up our international flight frequencies, not only in Manila, but also in Cebu. We know majority of the travelling public have been looking forward to travel internationally again, especially since a lot of countries have eased their restrictions,” Cebu Pacific chief commercial officer Xander Lao said in a statement.
“We continue to work towards the expansion of our international network while we maintain operating over 100% of our pre-pandemic domestic capacity.”
Fully vaccinated travelers flying to Singapore are no longer required to submit a pre-departure COVID-19 test. They must instead present their proof of full vaccination and fill out a Singapore arrival card three days before arrival.
The airline has been increasing its international services with the easing of COVID-19-related travel restrictions.
Earlier, Cebu Pacific said it would increase its flights from Manila to Dubai to 10 times weekly beginning on July 2.
For the rest of 2022, Cebu Pacific sees a better business outlook driven by domestic recovery and re-openings of international destinations, it said in an earlier statement.
In the first quarter of 2022, the airline flew 16,521 flights, 128% more than last year, while its passenger count likewise improved by 272%.
As of March, Cebu Pacific was operating a route network serving 62 domestic routes and 16 international routes with a total of 1,839 scheduled weekly flights, as it gradually increased its operations following the easing of COVID-19 restrictions.
