The Cebu Pacific on Monday, May 22, announced it is relaunching its Laoag-Manila route.

Beginning Monday, Cebu Pacific will fly daily between Laoag and Manila, making it the 35th destination in the airline’s widest domestic network.

The airline is now flying directly to 29 other local destinations from Ninoy Aquino International Airport including Bacolod, Boracay, Cagayan de Oro, Cebu, Davao, Iloilo, and Zamboanga.

Travelers from the Ilocos Region can now also connect to 23 destinations across Cebu Pacific’s international network from Manila, such as Bangkok, Dubai, Hong Kong, Melbourne, Narita, Singapore, Sydney, and Taipei.

“We are excited to fly again to Laoag as we continue to grow our domestic network and provide accessible and affordable air travel to every Juan,” Cebu Pacific President and Chief Commercial Officer Xander Lao said in a statement.

“The relaunch of this route will also strengthen Laoag’s position as a leading tourism and cultural hub in north Luzon,” Lao added.

The provincial government of Ilocos Norte lauded the local airline’s initiatives to boost the province’s tourism industry and encourage more people to travel to Laoag and the rest of the Ilocos Region.

“We are thrilled to welcome Cebu Pacific back to our province, as this signals a renewed hope for our tourism industry,” Ilocos Norte Gov. Matthew Marcos Manotoc said.

“We hope that more airlines will follow suit, as we continue to work together to revitalize our economy and bring back the vibrancy of Ilocos Norte’s tourism sector,” he added. – ag
