“Cebu Pacific is continuously expanding its domestic network because we want to help boost development within the country by linking islands together through an affordable means of transportation,” said Candice Iyog, Cebu Pacific VP for marketing and distribution. “Easier access to these areas can lead to more vibrant tourism and business activities.
“A faster, affordable and more convenient way to get to Samar encourages people to go home to their provinces more often. Or maybe even bring their friends to visit their hometowns. Cebu Pacific is all about giving people more choices.” Iyog added.
Iyog said that the best way to book Cebu Pacific flights is via the airline’s website, www.cebupacifcair.com. “Booking online is quick and easy.”
Cebu Pacific has flown 6.7 million passengers in 2008. It now has a fleet of 10 A319, 11 A320, and seven ATR 72-500 aircraft. The airline flies to 15 international cities and 30, soon to be 31 domestic destinations with the addition of Siargao on March 4, 2009.
