The Philippines’ largest airline, Cebu Pacific (CEB) expects delivery of three more brand-new Airbus A320 aircraft during the last quarter of this year as part of its expansion plan. As a result, it will increase frequencies to several domestic and international flights.

Because of this, Cebu Pacific offers a 50% off system-wide seat sale promo fare to any of its 33 domestic and 16 international destinations from July 10-12, 2010, for travel from September 1 to October 31, 2010.

Cebu Pacific also has direct flights from Davao to Zamboanga, Cagayan de Oro and Cebu.
