Charles Uy, President of the Philippine Chamber of Commerce-Boracay and Charles Lim, CEB Corporate Communications Consultant.Cebu Pacific (CEB), the country’s single largest domestic airline and biggest carrier to the ASEAN region, added a direct Cebu-Boracay (Caticlan) daily service to its domestic network since, April 4, 2008.
Philippine Chamber of Commerce-Boracay President Charles Uy sent off the passengers to the paradise island at the Mactan Cebu International Airport (MCIA) departure area, saying, “It is the first time an ATR72-500 with a 74-seat capacity will be landing in the Caticlan Airport, and we really welcome this development from Cebu Pacific.”
CEB’s newest ATR aircraft was delivered a few days prior to its maiden Cebu-Boracay (Caticlan) flight. It landed at the MCIA for the first time on April 4 at approximately 11:00 am.
In a press release, CEB spokesperson Candice Iyog said, “Boracay has one of the world’s best beaches, and with our trademark year-round ‘Go’ fares, more Filipinos and foreign tourists will now be able to spend less on their air travel and more on the fun and exciting activities the island has to offer.”
Meanwhile, SKAL International Cebu President Charles Lim said on behalf of the private sector, “With the CEB service, the two most popular destinations in the country are now finally efficiently and conveniently linked.”
The airline is acquiring up to 18 ATR72-500 regional aircraft manufactured by Avions de Transport Regional (ATR), based in Toulouse, France. CEB expects to take delivery of six ATR aircraft this year, and another four in 2009. ATR is the world leader in the 50-74 seat turboprop market. This fleet expansion is valued at over US$330 million.
Now in its 13th year, CEB has the youngest fleet in the country. It flies to 12, soon to be 15 international destinations, with the addition of Ho Chi Minh, Hanoi and Kaohsiung. CEB also operates flights to 21 domestic destinations. /MP
