Cebu Pacific, the flagship low-cost carrier of the Philippines, is significantly expanding its route network from Davao, adding several new domestic and international destinations to its schedule. This expansion aims to enhance the connectivity of Davao, positioning it as a strategic hub in the airline̢۪s growing network and supporting the regional economy through increased tourist inflow and business exchanges.
Domestic Route Expansion:Cebu Pacific has launched daily flights connecting Davao to Caticlan and Puerto Princesa. The route to Caticlan is particularly significant as it serves as the gateway to Boracay, one of the Philippines' premier tourist destinations. This service is expected to boost tourism by providing more convenient and direct access to the island, known for its white sandy beaches and vibrant nightlife.
Additionally, the airline has commenced a three-times-weekly service to Bangkok's Don Mueang International Airport. This route offers direct access to the heart of Thailand, known for its rich cultural heritage, bustling markets, and vibrant street food scenes, making it a favored destination for tourists from around the world.
New Domestic Link to Tacloban:Further strengthening its domestic network, Cebu Pacific has also started new flights connecting Davao with Tacloban three times a week. Tacloban holds historical significance and is an emerging destination for eco-tourism and cultural tourism in the Eastern Visayas region.
With these new routes, Cebu Pacific not only boosts its service offerings but also plays a crucial role in the economic development of Davao and the regions connected through these flights. Looking ahead, Cebu Pacific remains committed to expanding its network further, aiming to offer more affordable and accessible air travel options across its market base.
