Cebu Pacific said Wednesday it expanded its inter-regional route network with the addition of two new routes to connect the Visayas and Northern Mindanao.
The budget airline, controlled by the Gokongwei Group, said it would fly four times weekly between Cagayan de Oro and Tagbilaran starting March 15 and three times a week between the former and Bacolod. Both new routes to and from Cagayan de Oro will use the airline’s ATR aircraft.
“We at CEB are very thrilled to begin flying to and from these destinations. We believe that these new routes will not only boost tourism, but also increase trade and productivity between the Visayas and Mindanao,” said Cebgo president and chief executive Alexander Lao.
Cebgo is a unit of Cebu Pacific.
“Movement of goods between these islands will also be facilitated as CEB cargo services are also available in these new routes. CEB is likewise optimistic that our newest routes will encourage a number of tourists and businessmen from Tagbilaran and Bacolod to visit Mindanao more often with direct flights,” Lao said.
