Cebu Pacific to open Cagayan de Oro-Bacolod flights

CEBU Pacific announced Monday that its Cagayan de Oro City-Bacolod City route will start on March 16. For this new route, the airline will have three flights per week specifically on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Cebu Pacific said in a press statement this is one of the two routes it is launching in the next two months.

The other one is between Cagayan de Oro and Tagbilaran City starting March 15, with four flights weekly every Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Both new routes will be using the new ATR 72-600 aircraft expected to arrive in early March. To introduce these routes, the airline said it is offering an introductory P799 all-in seat sale for those who will travel from March 15 to May 31. Travelers may now book their flights until January 27, or until seats last.

The promo fare is inclusive of taxes and fees. Bags, meals, and other ancillaries may be added as preferred, it added. Alexander Lao, president and chief executive of Cebgo, said the new routes will open great opportunities for “every Juan” both business and leisure travelers, enabling them to visit the Visayas region more conveniently.

At the same time, passengers from Tagbilaran and Bacolod will now be able to explore Mindanao without the hassle, through the gateway that is Cagayan de Oro, Lao said. “Cebu Pacific stays committed in providing the best connectivity options for our valued passengers at the lowest fare available in the market,” Lao said. After the sale period, the one-way trip from Cagayan de Oro to Bacolod would cost P1,806; and Cagayan de Oro to Tagbilaran, P1, 235. The airline remains devoted to exploring more routes to cater to more of our valued guests, and also to beef up economic, trade, and tourism in the destinations we operate in, its official added.
