Flag carrier Philippine Airlines (PAL) announced on Wednesday the launch of direct services between Cebu and Calbayog, Samar, starting Oct. 26, 2025.
These flights would operate four times weekly every Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday.
“The launch of our Cebu-Calbayog route is a milestone in our mission to empower regional gateways like Cebu,” PAL Express president Rabbi Vincent Ang said in a statement.
The Tan-led carrier, he said, is investing in Cebu as a strategic hub to help drive tourism and economic growth across the region.
Meanwhile, PAL said it is also ramping up frequencies of flights to and from Siargao and Busuanga (Coron) via Cebu to thrice daily.
Also via Cebu, PAL is increasing operations to the following routes:
--Bacolod: from 14 to 18 flights weekly
--Butuan: from 7 to 11 flights weekly
--Cotabato: from two to three flights weekly
--Ozamiz: from three to four flights weekly
--Tacloban: from 11 to 14 flights weekly
"These enhancements reflect PAL’s commitment to boosting connectivity and positioning Cebu as a true gateway to the Visayas, Mindanao, and beyond," the airline said in its news release.
PAL also flies to Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), Seoul (Incheon), Tokyo (Narita) and Osaka from the Mactan-Cebu International Airport. (PNA)
