Cebu Pacific Air Offers Free Fares for Local, Intl Travel

MANILA, May 16 Asia Pulse - Philippines carrier Cebu Pacific Air(CEB) is offering more than 500,000 domestic and international seats for free for travel from June 9 to December 31 this year.

Candice Iyog, CEB vice-president for marketing and product, said passengers will only pay the taxes and fuel and insurance surcharges, which are non-refundable.

The promotional seat sale will run from May 15 to 18, 2008 or until the allocated seats are sold out.

CEB allocated more than 100,000 seats for its international routes that include: Bangkok, Guangzhou, Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh, Hong Kong, Jakarta, Kaohsiung, Kota Kinabalu, Kuala Lumpur, Macau, Taipei, Shanghai, Singapore and Xiamen. More than 400,000 seats have been allocated for all of CEBs domestic routes.

This is our biggest seat sale to date and is another milestone set by Cebu Pacific in Philippine aviation history. We believe this offering will further stimulate domestic and international travel amid rising fuel costs. Iyog urged passengers to book via CEBs website, www.cebupacificair.com. The airline has been offering low fares and the newest aircraft to the public. Last week, it took delivery of its 18th brand-new Airbus aircraft.

CEB also has two turbo-prop ATR 72 aircraft that it uses for short-haul travel, including Manila-Caticlan.

Now on its 13th year, CEB operates flights to 21 domestic destinations. Its 14 international destinations will soon increase to 16 with the addition of Kaohsiung and Kota Kinabalu in the coming months.
