Cebu Pac cuts fares by more than 30%
« on: July 07, 2008, 05:44:05 PM »

 Despite soaring jet fuel prices, domestic carrier Cebu Pacific is reducing local airfares effective June 12, 2008 to encourage more people to fly around the country.

Cebu Pacific vice president for marketing Candice Iyog said the airline is also implementing an “Allin” pricing format to make booking simpler for customers who used to have to deal with confusing surcharges.

Iyog said the new lower all-inclusive fares includes the fuel and insurance surcharge, aviation security fee and 12 percent VAT.

She added that they are considering implementing the same format for their international flights although it will take some time to compute the ideal rates since international charges are more complicated and different destinations have unique charges and taxes involved.

The ‘all-in’ pricing format is introduced with a seat sale across CEB’s domestic network. The promotional offer will run from June 12 to 17, 2008 and is valid for travel on July 1 to October 15, 2008. There are more than half a million seats allocated for this promotion.

‘All-in’ fares for short sectors such as ManilaLegaspi are at P699 oneway while a one-way ManilaCebu flight would cost P999 and a Manila-Davao sector would cost only P1,499 during the seat sale.

At seat sale levels, these reduction represent savings of up to 56 percent over regular rate rates. Promo seats are non-refundable but regular seats are both refundable and rebookable, subject to standard penalties.

Iyog also said CEB is shifting to an ‘all-in’ pricing format so passengers will immediately know the total amount they need to pay and can easily compare CEB fares with other modes of transportation including ferries and buses.

After the seat sale, the one-way Manila-Davao would cost P2,499 ‘all-in’ while a one-way ManilaCebu is sold at P1,499. On the other hand, out of pocket cost for one-way ManilaLegaspi is P999 one-way.

“We would like to continue domestic tourism’s growth momentum by introducing reduced all-in fares. We want to assure the public that CEB will do everything possible to keep air fares down because this is also good for the economy,” Iyog said.

Iyog also added that they are doing this to respond to the public’s desire for a more transparent and simple communication of fares.

“We really hope that this new move is deemed as a positive change in the industry and we encourage other airlines to do the same,” Iyog emphasized.

CEB has a fleet of ten A319s, eight A320s, and two ATR 72-500 aircraft. The airline flies to 16 international destinations with the addition of Kota Kinabalu next month. It will also add Tuguegarao and Naga,in its domestic network this June and San Jose (Mindoro) in July.

Is that airline still even making a profit? My guess is it's barely breaking even. Haaayyy, we need to tell King Fahd to supply us with MORE oil. Sus oi, gihangyo na gani siyang Bush, nagpakiluoy intawon si Mr. Texas didto.
