Cebu Pacific opens Cebu-Palawan service

Cebu Pacific is adding another route to its inter-island service: thrice-weekly flights between Cebu and Puerto Princesa beginning April 11, 2003.

Just last March, Cebu Pacific opened its Manila-Puerto Princesa and Cebu-Butuan services.

Cebu-Puerto Princesa flights are scheduled every Tuesday, Friday and Sunday, departing Mactan International Airport at 11:15 a.m. and Puerto Princesa at 1:05 p.m.

"We are starting this service with a special introductory fare of P2,199 one way," said Salvador Ramirez, Cebu Pacific VP/GM for Sals.

Through this service, Cebu Pacific offers a convenient link to Palawan for travelers from key points in Visayas and Mindanao.

"It would now be easier to travel between Palawan and Bacolod, Palawan and Butuan, Palawan and Davao, Palawan and Iloilo, Palawan and Zamboanga, all via Cebu," said Ramirez.

One-way fare between Palawan and Bacolod or Iloilo is being offered at P2,569. Between Palawan and Butuan, Davao or Zamboanga, fare is pegged at P3,239.
