Cebu Pacific on Monday re-launched its Laoag-Manila route, the airline’s 35th domestic destination.
With this development, traveling around the Philippines from Laoag has become easier, with the airline flying directly to 29 other local destinations from Ninoy Aquino International Airport to include Bacolod, Boracay, Cagayan De Oro, Cebu, Davao, Iloilo, and Zamboanga.
Travelers from the Ilocos Region can now also conveniently connect to 23 destinations across the airline’s international network from Manila, such as Bangkok, Dubai, Hong Kong, Melbourne, Narita, Singapore, Sydney, and Taipei.
“We are excited to fly again to Laoag as we continue to grow our domestic network and provide accessible and affordable air travel to every Juan. The relaunch of this route will also strengthen Laoag’s position as a leading tourism and cultural hub in north Luzon,” Xander Lao, Cebu Pacific president and chief commercial officer said..
The provincial government of Ilocos Norte lauded the airline’s initiatives to boost the province’s tourism industry and encourage more people to travel to Laoag and the rest of the region.
“We are thrilled to welcome back Cebu Pacific to our province, as this signals a renewed hope for our tourism industry. We hope that more airlines will follow suit, as we continue to work together to revitalize our economy and bring back the vibrancy of Ilocos Norte’s tourism sector,” said Ilocos Norte Gov. Matthew Marcos Manotoc.
Cebu Pacific is firmly in place for full recovery and poised to exceed its pre-COVID network and capacity, aided by its seat sales, wide domestic network, and reinstatement of its international destinations.
