Cebu Pacific is resuming its Manila-Brunei service this July after a two-year hiatus, bringing the airline’s total restored international destinations to 18.

On July 23, the low-cost carrier intends to restart its flights between Manila and Brunei, beginning with a twice weekly frequency every Thursday and Saturday.

Flight 5J 409 is scheduled to depart Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 3 at 7:10PM, and is set to arrive at Brunei International Airport by 9:40PM. Its return flight, 5J 410, is scheduled to leave Brunei at 10:30PM, and arrive in Manila at 12:50AM the following day.

“We are delighted to keep boosting our international flight frequencies as we continuously see strong demand for air travel. We are especially happy to bring this route back after a two-year hiatus as we know many of our kababayans are looking forward to visiting their family and friends – whether in Brunei, or back home in the Philippines,” Cebu Pacific chief commercial officer Xander Lao said in a statement.

Cebu Pacific said travelers looking to visit a unique country may consider Brunei for its many activities meant to recharge the soul – be it through hiking, ATV rides, water sports, or a wellness spa experience. Visitors will also be able to see various art in public spaces which show a glimpse of Brunei’s culture and history through the eyes of its local young artists.

Fully vaccinated Filipinos flying to Brunei are only required to present their proof of complete vaccination, along with an electronic heath arrival declaration form which must be filled out not more than 24 hours before departure. A certificate of Travel Medical Insurance with COVID-19 coverage (minimum coverage of BND 20.000) also must be presented upon check-in.

Coming home, boosted Filipinos no longer need to take a COVID test pre-departure.

The airline has been increasing its international services with the easing of COVID-19-related travel restrictions.

For the rest of 2022, Cebu Pacific in an earlier statement said it sees a better business outlook driven by domestic recovery and re-openings of international destinations.
