Cebu Pacific announced on Tuesday it will start direct flights between Manila and Riyadh on March 1, 2026, giving overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) in Saudi Arabia a more affordable and convenient way to travel home.
The airline will operate four flights per week.
- Manila to Riyadh: Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, Sundays
- Riyadh to Manila: Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays
Cebu Pacific president Xander Lao said the new route aims to support OFWs by making travel easier and cheaper. The airline says the direct service could cut roundtrip fares by up to 57 percent compared with other travel options.
To mark the launch, Cebu Pacific is offering a seat sale from December 9 to 13, with one-way base fares starting at ₱1(excluding fees). The promo is valid for travel from March 1 to October 28, 2026. From December 9 to 31, passengers can also get discounts on Fare Bundles, which include seat selection, meals, and baggage.
Riyadh becomes Cebu Pacific’s fourth long-haul destination, after Dubai, Sydney, and Melbourne. The airline currently flies to 37 domestic and 27 international destinations.
