Cebu Pacific began its Cebu-Naga service, the first and only direct connection between the two destinations.

The new four times a week service, which started on March 26, operates every Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday between Mactan-Cebu International Airport (MCIA) and Naga Airport.

“Cebu Pacific Air remains to be one of our dynamic airline partners that shares our vision of expanding MCIA’s network as a hub. MCIA remains committed to offering wider connectivity for its passengers with more options to connect to their destinations in the Philippines and around the globe,” said Rafael Aboitiz, director of MCIA operator GMR Megawide Cebu Airport Corp.

Cebu Pacific also resumed its Cebu-Hong Kong service on March 26 with daily flights departing Cebu at 6:05am and arriving in Hong Kong International Airport at 8:55am. The return flight departs Hong Kong at 9:40am and arrives at MCIA at 12:35pm.

“I am excited that we finally hit the two-digit mark for international destinations. Cebu Pacific Air continues to be one of our top-performing airline partners, and I am positive this is a step closer to our goal of becoming one of the best airports in Asia,” said Julius G. Neri Jr., general manager and chief executive of Mactan-Cebu International Airport Authority.

MCIA is now connected to 27 domestic destinations and 10 international destinations, with 14 foreign and four Philippine-based airline partners.

Cebu Pacific said earlier it is set to exceed its Cebu hub’s pre-pandemic network and capacity, which will hit 129% in June, as the low-cost carrier raises to 28 its domestic and international routes from MCIA.
