CEB Increases Vietnam, China Seat Capacity By Up to 33%

The Philippines’ leading low-cost carrier, Cebu Pacific increases seat  capacity to Hanoi, Vietnam and Guangzhou, China by up to 33%, when it  mounts one additional weekly flight to each route due to passenger  demand.

“Vietnam and China are two of our fast-growing source markets for  foreign tourists. We continue to support the government’s tourism  goals, with this increased connectivity and Cebu Pacific’s trademark  lowest fares. Cebu Pacific currently operates more flights and offers  more seats to Vietnam and Guangzhou than any other Philippine  carrier,” said CEB Vice President for Marketing and Distribution  Candice Iyog.

“This is also in line with the delivery of more aircraft in 2013, as  we expand in Asia and the Middle East. These additional flights will  provide more flight schedule options to guests booking their flights  in time for the holidays,” she added.

The airline will operate a total of thrice weekly flights from Manila  to Hanoi, starting October 31, 2013. Using an Airbus A319 aircraft,  the additional flight leaves Manila at 10:30pm on a Thursday, and  departs Hanoi at 1 a.m. on a Friday. With this frequency increase, CEB  offers 33% more seats to Hanoi.

CEB is the only airline with direct flights between the Philippines  and Hanoi, gateway to the Ha Long Bay, one of the “New 7 Wonders of  Nature”. CEB also flies daily from Manila to Ho Chi Minh.

Meanwhile, starting November 2, 2013, CEB will operate a total of four  weekly flights from Manila to Guangzhou. The additional flight will  depart Manila at 10:40pm on a Saturday, and leave Guangzhou at 1:40am  on a Sunday, using an Airbus A320 aircraft. This additional frequency  translates to a 25% seat capacity increase for CEB flights to Guangzhou.

Aside from Guangzhou, CEB flies from Manila to Beijing four times  weekly, to Shanghai daily, and to Xiamen thrice weekly. It also offers  flights to Hong Kong from Manila, Cebu, Clark and Iloilo, as well as  flights to Macau from Manila and Clark.
