Operations are now in full swing at Cebu Pacific’s Davao hub. The airline’s newest hub, the third after Manila and Cebu, will service four domestic and two international destinations, including direct flights to Hong Kong and Singapore. Bangkok and Macau are also accessible through connecting flights via Cebu.

“We are making Davao our third hub in order to make the city and the rest of Mindanao more accessible for tourism and trade,” said Candice Iyog, Cebu Pacific vice president for marketing and product. “We understand the need to offer a more convenient and affordable service out of Davao and hope that the public will take advantage of these new services.” Cebu Pacific is the only airline flying both Davao-Iloilo and Davao-Hong Kong routes, and it is the only Filipino carrier offering the Davao-Singapore service.

“This is a significant milestone because it opens up more of our islands to more travelers,” said Under Secretary Eduardo Jarque from the Department of Tourism. “This is also a good indicator that our tourism industry is healthy and doing well.”

What’s more, the airline’s very affordable fares are sure to keep Cebu Pacific’s Davao hub buzzing with activity. The lowest one-way year-round ‘Go’ fare for the Davao-Iloilo service starts at PHP288, while the fare for Davao-Hong Kong starts at PHP1,499. Moreover, the one-way year-round ‘Go’ fare for

Davao-Singapore starts at P1,999. The fare is exclusive of taxes and applicable surcharges. To book your ticket, click on www.cebupacificair.com.
