Leading domestic low cost carrier Cebu Pacific (CEB) celebrates continuous market dominance in Davao with a seat sale as low as P888 from August 12 to August 18, 2009. Travel period is from October 1 to November 30, 2009.

Cebu Pacific offers P888 ‘Go Lite’ seats for its Davao-Zamboanga flights, and P1,088 ‘Go Lite’ seats for its Manila-Davao and Manila-Zamboanga services.

Passengers with check-in baggage will just add P100 upon booking.

“We flew nearly 500,000 passengers from January to June 2009 alone. We maintain being the airline with the most passengers flown, most routes and most number of flights from Davao, cementing our lead in the area,” said Cebu Pacific VP for Marketing and Distribution Candice Iyog.

Cebu Pacific posts a 22.5% year on year growth on the number of passengers flown via its Davao hub.

She added, “Because of this, we want to continuously provide our ever-growing passenger base in Davao the low fares that Cebu Pacific is known for. Hopefully, this will continuously spur local and international travel, and stimulate the economy and tourism in the area.”

Cebu Pacific flies from Manila to Davao four times daily, and to Zamboanga twice daily. The airline also has daily flights from Davao to Zamboanga.

Iyog encouraged passengers to book their flights through www.cebupacificair.com, the reservations hotlines (02) 7020-888 and (032) 230-8888 or travel agents nearest them.

Cebu Pacific, Asia’s third largest low cost carrier, also flies direct from Davao to Cebu, Iloilo and Cagayan de Oro. Cebu Pacific also has an extensive network all over the Philippines and in the ASEAN region, and the youngest aircraft fleet in the country.
