Cebu Pacific announced Thursday the resumption of international flights from Cebu, beginning with Cebu to South Korea.
The carrier said that on July 3, it will start twice-weekly flights from Cebu to Seoul (Incheon), every Thursday and Sunday.
Flight 5J 128 is estimated to depart the Mactan Cebu International Airport at 12:25 p.m. and is set to arrive at Seoul InternationalAirport at 6:10 p.m.. Its return flight, 5J 129, is scheduled to leave Seoul at 6:55 p.m. and will arrive in Cebu at 10:50 p.m.
This is the first international destination that the airline is restarting from its Cebu hub, following the reopening of South Korea for tourists.
“We are very happy to restart this flight as we know passengers in the Visayas and Mindanao have been looking forward to travel internationally again, without needing to pass by Manila. We hope to expand our international network more in the coming months as we’ve already stabilized operating over 100% of our pre-pandemic domestic capacity,” said CEB chief commercial officer Xander Lao.
