Cebu Pacific to Launch New Routes from Clark in Philippines

Cebu Pacific has unveiled plans to expand its presence at Clark International Airport with the introduction of daily flights between Clark and Davao, as well as between Clark and Tagbilaran (Bohol) on 9 November 2018.

Cebu Pacific flight 5J 613, bound for Tagbilaran, is scheduled to depart Clark at 09:55 and arrives at 11:20. The return flight, 5J 614, is timed to depart Tagbilaran at 11:50 and arrive back at Clark at 13:15.

Flights will depart Clark for Davao (5J 985) at 13:45 with a scheduled arrival at the Francisco Bangoy International Airport in Davao at 15:40. The return flight, 5J 986, departs Davao at 16:10, with an ETA at Clark International Airport of 18:05.

"Cebu Pacific has been operating flights in and out of the Clark International Airport since 2006. Since our maiden Clark-Cebu route, we have not only expanded, but consistently maintained our presence at the Clark airport. We remain committed to helping play a pivotal role in the growth of the Clark airport," said Atty JR Mantaring, Vice President for Corporate Affairs of Cebu Pacific.

Clark International Airport has served as the hub for North and Central Luzon of Cebu Pacific for the past ten years. It has emerged as one of Asia's fastest-growing airports, with passenger volume expected to breach two million in 2018.

Cebu Pacific operates direct flights from Clark to Cebu, Singapore, Macau and Hong Kong; and will resume direct flights to Caticlan (Boracay) by 28 October 2018.

On top of the new routes, Cebu Pacific will also add an additional daily flight between Clark and Cebu starting 28 October 2019. From once daily, Cebu Pacific will fly between Clark and Cebu once in the morning and another in the afternoon.

"The expansion of our Clark route network and connecting this to our Davao hub will open opportunities for commerce, entrepreneurs and domestic investments for Central Luzon; while we anticipate that the Clark-Tagbilaran route will help boost trade and tourism. This in turn, will help spur economic growth and provide travelers with more route options to get to their destinations," added Mantaring.

Aside from its Clark and Davao hubs, Cebu Pacific operates flights out of five other hubs in Philippines: Manila, Kalibo, Iloilo, Cebu and Cagayan de Oro (Laguindingan).

The carrier operates to 37 domestic destinations, 76 routes and over 2,130 weekly flights. As of end-June 2018, Cebu Pacific flew 7.6 million passengers, comprising 73% of the 10.4 million passengers flown from January to June 2018.
