Operating to new cities like Cauayan is part of the airline’s nation building efforts. Cauayan is Cebu Pacific’s 32nd domestic destination.

“Cebu Pacific is continuously expanding its domestic network because we want to help boost development within the country by offering 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 Isabela encourages people to go home to their provinces more often. Or maybe even bring their friends to visit their hometowns.” Iyog added.

Cebu Pacific is the only airline operating the Manila-Cauayan (Isabela) route.
