The Philippines' leading airline, Cebu Pacific (PSE: CEB), further builds its presence in the Bicol region with the launch of daily flights to Masbate.

Starting February 15, 2017, CEB's wholly owned subsidiary, Cebgo, will launch daily flights between Manila and Masbate using the newly-acquired ATR 72-600 aircraft.

The addition of this new route will allow our passengers to easily visit this fast-rising area in Luzon, known for its white-sand beaches, waterfalls and diving spots.

"We remain firm in bringing people together through safe, affordable, reliable, and fun-filled air travel. With these additional routes, travellers will now be able to visit these destinations faster while enjoying CEB's trademark low fares. Rest assured, we will continue expanding our network to reach more passengers in and out the Philippines," says Alexander Lao, Cebgo President and CEO.

CEB holds an introductory Php799 all-in seat sale for flights for Masbate to Manila from December 12-14, 2016, or until seats last. Travel period is from February 15, 2017 to March 31, 2017.

Moreover, cargo services will also be made available in these areas together with passenger services, contributing to growth of the more than 2,000 accounts we currently hold.
