In an advisory, Cebu Pacific said it would start flying direct between Iloilo and Bangkok, through the Don Mueang International Airport, beginning March 31.

The service will be operated thrice a week, every Monday, Wednesday and Friday using a 180-seater Airbus A320 to ferry the passengers.

With this expansion, the Gokongwei-owned airline will become the only carrier offering direct flights between Iloilo and Bangkok. Cebu Pacific will also add its third international route from Iloilo with Bangkok, on top of Hong Kong and Singapore.
