MANILA – Low-cost carrier Cebu Pacific (CEB) will further boost its Clark hub, resuming services to four domestic routes beginning October.

Resumption of flights between Clark International Airport (CRK) and Davao, General Santos, Iloilo and Puerto Princesa will bring CEB’s total destinations via Clark to 10.

“This resumption underscores our commitment to offering greater accessibility to travelers from North and Central Luzon and provide every Juan with more opportunities to discover the beauty and diversity of the Philippines,” CEB president Xander Lao said in a statement on Monday.

Puerto Princesa flights will be three to seven times weekly starting Oct. 2. Flights to General Santos will be offered thrice weekly, while Iloilo flights will be seven times weekly, both resuming on Oct. 21.

The Clark to Davao route will be three to seven times weekly starting Oct. 22.

To date, CEB flies to Boracay, Cebu, Bangkok, Hong Kong, Narita and Singapore via the CRK.

With the resumption of four domestic routes, the Gokongwei-led carrier claims itself as the largest airline serving the CRK.

Since June 1, CEB also increased its flight frequencies between Clark and Singapore, from thrice weekly to daily.

CEB currently services 35 domestic and 25 international destinations across Asia, Australia and the Middle East.
