    •    Manila–Da Nang: 10x weekly from Oct. 28, with twice-daily flights on select days

    •    Manila–Sapporo: Daily service from Dec. 10 to Feb. 27, 2026

Management’s view

“As travel demand continues to rise, these expanded services allow us to better connect Filipinos to the rest of the world and welcome more visitors to the Philippines,” said Xander Lao, Cebu Pacific president and chief commercial officer.

“Beyond convenience, this increased connectivity also plays a key role in stimulating tourism, enabling business opportunities, and strengthening economic ties with our neighbors in the Asia-Pacific region,” he added. 

Popular routes, growing footprint

Manila–Sapporo, launched in January 2025, has become a hit with winter travelers bound for Hokkaido. 

Melbourne continues to attract both tourists and Filipinos visiting family in Australia. Cebu Pacific now flies to 37 domestic and 26 international destinations across Asia, Australia, and the UAE, with bookings available via cards and e-wallets.
