The Mactan-Cebu International Airport (MCIA) is annexing 11 new connections to its network throughout the fourth quarter, as airlines gain confidence to expand reach from the gateway.
In an advisory, MCIA announced the launch of 11 new flights, to be introduced by six airlines, between October and December, when demand for air travel is highest.
By Oct. 26, Cebu Pacific, the country’s largest carrier by fleet and passenger size, is bringing in daily flights to El Nido, while flag carrier Philippine Airlines (PAL) is putting up weekly trips to Calbayog.
By Nov. 15, low-cost carrier AirAsia Philippines is putting up twice daily flights to Kuala Lumpur and thrice a week services to Macau. The airline is also pairing this with weekly trips to Davao (18 times), Caticlan (11 times) and Iloilo (four times).
