Cebu Pacific to increase Dubai flights
Aviation Updates Philippines – Amid
the suspension of domestic air travel due to the Modified Enhanced Community
Quarantine (MECQ) over Metro Manila, low-cost carrier Cebu Pacific Air is
increasing flights on the Manila-Dubai-Manila sector beginning this week.
Based on an August 10 advisory, Cebu Pacific plans to double Manila-Dubai-Manila
flights from once weekly to twice weekly. For the Manila-Dubai route, the
airline will add a Thursday flight; for the Dubai-Manila route, it plans to
add a Friday flight.
These new frequencies are concurrent with Cebu Pacific's Manila-Dubai
(Saturday flight) and Dubai-Manila (Sunday flight). As usual, trips to the
Emirates would be flown on-board the 436-seat all-economy Airbus A330-343
aircraft.
Aside from the scheduled flight to Dubai, Cebu Pacific also operates a
Manila-Seoul (one-way only), and a Manila-Singapore-Manila flight. However,
the two routes would see a frequency reduction from thrice weekly to twice
weekly from the third week of August.
The airline continues to operate Cebu-Clark-Cebu and Cebu-Davao-Cebu flights
during the suspension of domestic air travel in areas under MECQ, particularly
Manila. The suspension lasts until August 18, if not extended.
Cebu Pacific also reminds guests that both face masks and face shields are now
required in all modes of public transportation, including flights. This
mandate will be effective August 15, as ordered by the Department of
Transportation.
