Cebu Pacific, the Philippines' largest budget airline, is offering flights across its entire network of domestic destinations for a base fare as low as P99. The seat sale, running from November 4 to November 7, is open for travel from January 1 through March 25, 2025, giving Filipino travelers the chance to explore the country affordably at the start of the new year.
Known for its extensive domestic reach, Cebu Pacific serves popular destinations across the Philippines, including Boracay, Cebu, and Davao. This promotion also coincides with the airline's strategic growth in regional hubs and new route launches. Recently, Cebu Pacific opened five new routes from Iloilo, enhancing connectivity from Western Visayas to cities across the country. These additions reflect the airline's goal of making more regions accessible, especially as demand for leisure and local travel grows.
In addition to new routes from Iloilo, Cebu Pacific has expanded its direct flights from other key hubs, including Davao, which now offers connections to 12 tourist destinations, and Cebu, with direct routes to 20 destinations. This expansion supports Cebu Pacific’s mission of enabling more convenient and affordable travel for Filipinos.
Cebu Pacific's recent acquisition of boutique airline AirSWIFT further underscores its commitment to expanding its footprint in the local tourism industry. AirSWIFT, known for servicing premier tourist spots like Boracay, El Nido, Cebu, and Bohol, adds to Cebu Pacific’s reach in serving travelers keen to explore the country’s top destinations. This strategic acquisition not only strengthens Cebu Pacific's position as a leader in domestic travel but also enhances its ability to cater to high-demand, niche routes.
The airline’s growth also extends to fleet expansion. Cebu Pacific has signed an agreement with Airbus and Pratt & Whitney to acquire up to 152 aircraft in a deal valued at $24 billion, or roughly P1.4 trillion. The acquisition marks a significant investment in modernizing the fleet and enhancing fuel efficiency, supporting Cebu Pacific’s sustainability goals while preparing to meet growing passenger demand.
With travel demand on the rise, Cebu Pacific has seen strong financial performance, with net income doubling in the first quarter of the year. The airline attributes this growth to strategic route additions, fleet expansion, and continued focus on affordable travel options for Filipinos.
By offering ultra-low fares and expanding both its fleet and route network, Cebu Pacific is positioned to further promote domestic tourism and strengthen its role as a gateway for Filipinos exploring the Philippines.
