Cebu Pacific announced on Thursday a significant expansion of its Thailand service with the launch of direct flights to Don Mueang International Airport (DMK) starting July 16, 2024.
The direct flights to DMK further increases the budget airline’s flight frequencies between Manila and Bangkok to 17 times weekly.
Cebu Pacific serves the Manila to Bangkok route through Suvarnabhumi Airport twice daily at present.
“Bangkok remains one of the most popular destinations in Southeast Asia, with its majestic pagodas, flavorful cuisine, and vibrant cultural festivals,” Xander Lao, Cebu Pacific president and chief commercial officer said.
“We are excited to bring more travelers to this beautiful city as we launch our operations in DMK, in our commitment to continuously provide accessible and affordable air travel to every Juan,” he added.
Bangkok is one of the airline’s first international destinations, launching its maiden Manila-Bangkok service in 2006. Aside from Manila, Cebu Pacific also operates direct flights between Clark and Bangkok daily.
The airline flies to 35 domestic and 24 international destinations spread across Asia, Australia, and the Middle East.
