Two of the country’s biggest carriers started to beef up operations on Tuesday as they anticipate a surge of passengers heading for the holiday break.
Leading budget airline Cebu Pacific and flag carrier Philippine Airlines (PAL) added more flights in selected destinations for the Christmas season, which is expected to last until the first week of January.
For this year's peak season, PAL said it added flights to five international (Los Angeles, Hong Kong, Bangkok, Riyadh and Singapore) and seven domestic (Zamboanga, Ozamiz, Puerto Princesa, Iloilo, Dipolog, Bacolod, and Cagayan de Oro) routes.
Five selected flights going to Guam are also using a bigger aircraft (Airbus A330), the same with the mid-morning flight from Manila to Davao, using the Boeing 747-400. The Airbus 330 plane can carry up to 293 passengers.
Meantime, Cebu Pacific will launch more flights to Bacolod (January 2), Butuan (January 3 and 5), Cagayan de Oro (January 3-5), Davao (January 2-5) and General Santos (December 30 and January 4).
Cebu Pacific is also set to increase trips to Iloilo (January 2), Kalibo (December 30, January 2-5), Roxas (December 30, January 2-5) and Tacloban (December 30). (Virgil Lopez/Sunnex)
