Cebu Pacific will start daily flights between Manila and Sydney beginning December 1, 2017 due to high demand for frequent trips to the key Australian destination.
The airline, the only low-cost carrier flying between Manila and Sydney, currently operates up to five weekly non-stop services to the route, and has the most number of seats.
In a press release, Cebu Pacific Vice President for Marketing and Distribution Candice Iyog said, “In addition to year-round low fares for to exotic destinations in the Philippines, Cebu Pacific also has easy connections to the rest of Southeast Asia at the lowest fares possible. The additional frequencies will also mean increased cargo capacity between Sydney and Manila. This bodes well for exporters, entrepreneurs and enterprises would like to bring products from Australia to the Philippines, and vice-versa; as well to Japan, China, and Korea, the rest of Southeast Asia and to Dubai.”
For the first four months of 2017, Cebu Pacific captured 41.7% of the total passenger market share for the Manila-Sydney route, and 47.4% of the total cargo market share, according to Australia’s Bureau of Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Economics.
