Cebu Pacific said Tuesday it expects to restore over 100 percent of its pre-pandemic domestic capacity next month after it ramped up its network with the easing of pandemic travel restrictions
It said that as the summer peak approaches, it noted a 200-percent increase in average daily flights for both domestic and international combined—from about 100 flights a day in 2020 to about 300 this year.
Flights from Manila to key domestic destinations such as Boracay and Cebu exceeded their 2019 flight frequencies.
The airline operates 96 percent of its pre-pandemic domestic capacity. The improvement enabled Cebu Pacific to carry more passengers and boost cargo service, which means faster and more efficient movement of goods across its widest domestic network.
“We are excited to safely fly everyJuan to their destinations so they could reunite with their families and loved ones, or pursue their business interests, or revisit tourist destinations. It is encouraging to see and feel travel confidence returning,” said Cebu Pacific president and chief executive Lance Gokongwei.
“We thank our passengers for their continued trust, and we will endeavor to live true to our promise of providing safe, affordable, and accessible air travel for every Juan,” he said.
Cebu Pacific operates the widest domestic network in the Philippines covering 33 destinations, on top of its 14 international destinations. Its 74-strong fleet, one of the youngest in the world, includes two dedicated ATR freighters.
The airline achieved a 7-star safety rating from airlineratings.com for its COVID-19 compliance. It continues to implement a multi-layered approach to safety, while it operates with a 100-percent fully vaccinated crew—all to ensure its every Juan flies safely and conveniently on Cebu Pacific.
