Cebu Pacific celebrates launch
The inaugural event at Ninoy Aquino International Airport featured Thai Ambassador to the Philippines, Tull Traisorat, and Yatika Kaewborisoot from Thailand’s Tourism Authority.
During the event, Cebu Pacific president and chief commercial officer Xander Lao emphasized the airline’s dedication to providing passengers with greater opportunities to explore both the Philippines and destinations worldwide.
“For years, Cebu Pacific has been dedicated to connecting Filipinos not only to essential destinations, but also to popular places that were previously difficult to reach,” Lao said.
“More than adding to Cebu Pacific’s growing network, the launch of the Manila-Chiang Mai also serves as a testament to Cebu Pacific’s commitment to making air travel more accessible for every Juan,” he added.
