Cebu Pacific has announced the airline would continue to expand its Cebu hub as it ramps up its direct flights to Seoul, South Korea.
Starting 9 September this year, CEB intends to increase its flights from Cebu to Seoul (Incheon) to a daily operation from its current twice-a-week flights.
CEB Corporate Communications Director Carmina Reyes-Romero said that these additional flights would enable more passengers from Visayas and Mindanao to fly to South Korea any day of the week, so they may finally make their travel dreams a reality. This ramp-up just two months after the route is a testament to their commitment to everyone and reflects the travel demand among Filipinos and foreigners.
She added that the CEB flight 5J 128 is scheduled to depart Mactan Cebu International Airport at 12:25 PM and arrive in Seoul at around 6:10 PM (Korea local time). Its return flight, 5J 129, is scheduled to depart Seoul at 6:55 PM and arrive in Cebu at 10:50 PM (Philippine local time).
CEB currently flies to Cebu from 22 domestic destinations, namely: Bacolod, Boracay, Butuan, Cagayan de Oro, Calbayog, Camiguin, Clark, Coron, Davao, Dipolog, Dumaguete, General Santos, Iloilo, Legazpi, Manila, Ozamiz, Pagadian, Puerto Princesa, Siargao, Surigao, Tacloban and Zamboanga.
Romero also said that with their extensive domestic network in and out of Cebu, they are happy to provide more flight connections to their passengers. They also hope this encourages everyone to fly more and travel internationally for less via Cebu Pacific.
Fully vaccinated travelers flying to Seoul must bring their negative COVID-19 test result took 48 hours before departure, a valid vaccination certificate and a filled-out foreigner registration card. For more information, passengers may refer to the CEB travel reminders page for the latest updates and complete travel guidelines to their destination.
CEB continues offering guaranteed low fares to stimulate travel across its widest domestic network in the Philippines. It continues to implement a multi-layered approach to safety. At the same time, it operates with a 100 percent fully vaccinated crew, 95 percent of whom have been boosted — all to ensure every Juan flies safely and conveniently on Cebu Pacific.
