Low-fare leader Cebu Pacific (CEB) is flying a direct thrice-weekly service from Davao to Cagayan de Oro starting May 14, 2009. This new route is introduced with a one-way ‘Go Lite’ promo fare of P449 all-in.

The seat sale will run until today, April 30, 2009 and is valid for travel from June 1 to August 31, 2009. Promo fare is non-refundable.

Using Cebu Pacific’s 72-seater ATR aircraft, the flight departs from Davao every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday at 6:00pm and arrives in Cagayan de Oro at 6:50pm. The return flight leaves Cagayan de Oro at 7:10pm and lands in Davao at 8:00pm.

“The opening of our direct Davao-Cagayan de Oro service will provide a faster, more convenient and affordable travel option for travelers between Northern and Southern Mindanao. This will spur more activities within Mindanao as travel from Davao to Cagayan de Oro is cut to an hour from a usual 10-hour road trip,” Candice Iyog, Cebu Pacific vice president for marketing and distribution, explained.

She added, “This is continuing proof of our commitment to make air travel accessible to everyJuan and support to the government’s agenda of developing Mindanao as a vibrant destination.
