Low-cost carrier Cebu Pacific (CEB) will be flying out of the new Terminal 4 (T4) of Singapore’s Changi Airport come November, becoming the first local carrier to do so.
On November 2, Cebu Pacific will have its last Manila-Singapore and Singapore-Manila flights out of Changi Airport’s Terminal 2, and will start its first Manila-Singapore and Singapore-Manila flights out of Terminal 4.
The opening of Terminal 4 in late October is highly anticipated and will add a capacity of 16 million passengers yearly to Changi Airport, bringing the airport’s total annual handling capacity to 82 million passenger movements.
More than 200,000 Singaporeans registered for the tour of the new terminal that took place for two weeks in August. The tour showcased T4’s unique features and innovations in enhancing operational efficiencies and productivity, and presented the booth displays of the eight airlines moving into T4, including Cebu Pacific.
“We are proud to be the first airline from the Philippines to operate from this world-class passenger terminal, enabling everyone traveling with CEB through Singapore to experience a new level of comfort and efficiency. We will bring with us a treasure trove of memories from our previous home in T2, and look forward to re-connecting with old friends—and making new ones,” JR Mantaring, Cebu Pacific vice president for corporate affairs, said in a statement.
Cebu Pacific flies three times daily between Manila and Singapore; 12 times weekly to and from Cebu and Clark, Pampanga; and twice a week from Davao and Iloilo.
