Cebu Pacific to increase domestic flights in Q4

MANILA, Philippines -  Cebu Pacific (CEB) will increase its domestic flights in the fourth quarter of 2011, making available 33 percent more seats with the delivery of three more brand-new Airbus A320 aircraft in October, allowing the Gokongwei-owned airline to continue to offer the lowest possible fares in the market.

“This is in line with CEB’s continued commitment to promote tourism and economy in the destinations it flies to. Foreign and local travelers can book CEB’s lowest fares to explore the Philippines’ top beaches and diving sites, and attend the country’s most popular fiestas,” CEB vice president for marketing and distribution Candice Iyog said.
