Cebu Pacific has unveiled plans to launch four
times weekly flights between Manila and Guam on 15 March 2016.
Cebu Pacific's Guam route will operate every Tuesday,
Thursday, Saturday and Sunday, with Airbus A320 aircraft.
The Manila-Guam
service will depart at 03:45 and arrive in Guam at 10:15.
The
Guam-Manila flight will depart Guam at 12:30 and arrive in
Manila at 14:55.
From Manila, passengers can utilize Cebu
Pacific's extensive network in the Philippines. Domestic destinations with
good connections include Laoag, Iloilo and
Cebu.
"Having Guam in our network sets us off on
another expansion path across the Pacific. With the launch of
Guam, we offer fares that are up to 83% lower than other airlines.
Fares this low can only mean more tourists to both countries, more
Filipinos visiting home, and more opportunities for everyone,"
said Cebu Pacific President and CEO, Lance Gokongwei.
The sizeable Filipino community in Guam
currently comprises about 26% of the island's population, and recent data shows that the Manila – Guam route is relatively
underserved, compared to other destinations with smaller Filipino populations.
There are approximately 5,900 weekly seats currently
available between Manila and Guam. Cebu Pacific's entry into the
market adds 1,440 weekly seats to this pool, boosting air traffic
between the two countries further.
To celebrate the new route, Cebu Pacific is
offering P2,500 all-in seats until 29 November 2015
for travel from 15 March to 30 November 2016. The promotion is
subject to terms and conditions.
After the seat sale, Cebu Pacific fares to Guam
start from P7,197.
Cebu Pacific's network now spans 64 destinations
on 98 routes, including flights to Sydney, Doha, Beijing, Tokyo,
Bali and Dubai. The airline's 55-strong fleet comprises of 8 Airbus A319,
33 Airbus A320, 6 Airbus A330, and 8 ATR 72-500 aircraft. Between 2016
and 2021, Cebu Pacific will take delivery of 5 more brand-new
Airbus A320, 30 Airbus A321neo, and 16 ATR 72-600 aircraft.
