Posted on January 13, 2009

Adds flights to 11 Manila-hub services

Cebu Pacific (CEB), the Philippines’ leading domestic airline, will mount additional frequencies to 11 of its domestic routes despite the weak economic forecast for the country.

By March this year, just in time for summer, the airline will increase its frequency from Manila to:

* Bacolod, to four times daily;
* Butuan, to twice daily;
* Cagayan de Oro, to five times daily;
* Caticlan, to 10 times daily;
* Cebu, to 11 times daily;
* Davao, to six times daily;
* Iloilo, to 31 times weekly;
* GenSan, to 10 times weekly;
* Legaspi, to thrice daily;
* Tagbilaran, to thrice daily; and
* Zamboanga, to twice daily.

This brings Cebu Pacific’s weekly domestic flights from 1,074 to 1,252 .

Candice Iyog, Cebu Pacific VP for marketing and distribution, said that the airline is expecting three more aircraft this January and February. “These brand new aircraft — two Airbus and one ATR-72 500 — will be utilized to expand our growing domestic network.”

Iyog added, “In spite of the economic downturn, we remain optimistic that we will be able to continue stimulating domestic travel because of the value proposition Cebu Pacific offers to the traveling public.”

Cebu Pacific carried a record breaking 683,204 passengers in December 2008, the highest in the airline’s history. Prior to this, Cebu Pacific carried the most number of passengers in May 2008 at 630,924.

Cebu Pacific has also positioned itself as a viable transport alternative to buses and ferries.

“Aside from additional frequencies, Cebu Pacific will continue to offer its trademark low fares and new aircraft to its passengers,” Iyog added.

Cebu Pacific currently services the most number of domestic routes, among all local carriers. Its additional aircraft will increase its fleet to 21 Airbus and seven ATR-72 500.

    Cebu Pacific Management, what have you done to protect your employees from this kind of arrogant customers? They have their right as customers but employees have their rights, too. If they want to be respected then they should, likewise, give due respect to employees who are also protected by our labor laws. You will not be able to retain quality and efficient employees if you will just ignore abuses and exploitations of your employees. I hope something will be done about this.

    I learned Ardie Valerie has resigned from Cebu Pacific. GOOD DECISION!! He doesn’t deserve this derogatory remarks and this kind of treatment FROM ANYONE ELSE. A UP College graduate, member of the Knights of Columbus and lay minister of a parish church can never be SOBRANG BOBO AT TANGA NA BASTOS!!

    Karl, based on what you have said, you’re the one who has no manners. You have a shitty mouth! There are always going to be dissatisfied customers. But some customers are verbally abusive like you who think just because they paid for the service, they have the right to treat the employees like slaves who should obey all their demands. Actually you treat people like shit because you think you’re above them. Well, let’s see how many people will respect you for that. You’re the one who is BOBO, TANGA and above all BASTOS.
