Cebu Pacific Airlines (CEB), the country’s #1 domestic airline is offering P1 one-way promo fares on all its domestic destinations for travel from January 1 to March 12, 2008.
“We have allocated more than 100,000 seats for this year-end seat sale promo fare. Guests can buy their tickets from November 28 to December 2 only or until seats are sold out,” said Candice Iyog, Cebu Pacific vice president for marketing and product.
The one-way promo fare is exclusive of fuel and insurance surcharges ranging from P900 to P1,450 one way. The promo fare is non-refundable.
Cebu Pacific has been offering seat sale promo fares to encourage more passengers, especially new flyers, to travel.
“We want air travel to be a common occurrence that most people can now experience because of our year-round fares and occasional seat sale promo fares. This is part of our goal to promote travel and tourism in and to the Philippines.” she said.
Last September 2007, Cebu Pacific Airlines also offered P1 promo fares to mark its rise to being the country’s leading domestic carrier.
Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB) data showed that domestic passenger traffic in the first nine months of the year grew 23% to 7.69 million from 6.23 million aided by the aggressive pricing strategies of local airlines, with Cebu Pacific Airlines leading the industry.
“Because of our year-round low ‘Go’ fares, our occasional promotional seat sale promo fares, and our expanding capacity and number of destinations, we expect to carry more than 5 million passengers this year,” she said.
Iyog also said that this is the airline’s way of thanking its guests for a good year for both Cebu Pacific and the local travel and tourism industry.
Cebu Pacific took delivery of its 15th A320 aircraft last month and expects its first ATR-72 aircraft in February of next year.
She added “We’d like to think that this is just the start. With the delivery of 4 more A320s and 4 ATRs next year, we expect to be operating many new routes and destinations.”
Tickets can be purchased through Cebu Pacific Air’s website, cebupacificair.com or through its ticketing offices and travel agents.
