Low-fare leader Cebu Pacific (CEB) will expand its route network from Cebu with the launch of its direct Cebu-General Santos (GenSan) service starting August 15, 2008.

Cebu Pacific offers a P999 all-inclusive one-way fare for its newest route starting August 15-21, 2008. The seat sale is non-refundable and is good for travel from August 15-December 17, 2008.

Candice Iyog, Cebu Pacific spokesman said, “We will continue to expand our operations and offer the lowest ‘all-inclusive’ fares especially to new Cebu Pacific routes that have not been previously exposed to our low fares.”

The three-times weekly Cebu-GenSan A319 service will operate every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. The flight departs from Cebu at 10:30am and arrives in GenSan at 11:30am. It leaves GenSan at 12:00nn and arrives back in Cebu at 1:10pm.

Iyog added, “We encourage the public to book their flights via www.cebupacificair.com or call its reservations hotline (02) 7020888 or (032) 2308888 or contact their travel agent. Fares are so low and are even comparable to other modes of transport such as ferries and buses.”

Cebu Pacific also announced that they will start operating a direct Cebu-Tacloban service beginning September 2. The airline is offering a P699 all-in seat sale fare for this new route. The seat sale will run from August 15-21, 2008 and is good for travel from September 2-December 17, 2008.

From its Cebu hub, Cebu Pacific also flies direct from Cebu to Bacolod, Boracay (Caticlan), Butuan, Cagayan de Oro, Clark, Davao, Iloilo, Manila, Puerto Princesa and Zamboanga. International services from Cebu include direct flights to Hong Kong, Singapore, Incheon and Pusan in Korea.

Now in its 13th year, Cebu Pacific has the youngest aircraft fleet in the Philippines. It has a fleet of ten A319s, eight A320s, and two ATR72-500 aircraft.
