CLARK FREEPORT – Cebu Pacific (CEB) is poised to become the first Filipino airline to link Clark and Guangzhou, China with its direct flights to the Chinese territory starting next month.
CEB, the Philippines’ largest carrier, said it would fl y between Clark and Guangzhou four times weekly on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays starting Nov. 11.
The flight to Guangzhou will depart from Clark at 11:35 p.m. with the return flight at 3:15 a.m. the next day.
CEB said a seat sale for the new route, with P1 base fare, started last Saturday and will run until Thursday (Oct. 17) for travel from Nov. 11 to March 31, 2020.
CEB also said the new route would help spur economic activity in New Clark City (NCC), envisioned as the new Philippine government center.
Guangzhou is a “wholesalers’ haven” for retail and consumer goods, making it a destination for businessmen, CEB said.
The budget carrier also launched a P1 fare deal for Manila to Shenzhen, and Cebu to Shanghai flights, for travel from October 27 to March 31, 2020. A 3-day seat sale was also available for travelers from the airline’s Cebu, Iloilo and Davao hubs, CEB said.
