Cebu Pacific will increase its Sydney-Manila service to daily flights starting Dec. 1, 2024, coinciding with the 10th anniversary of the route, Sydney Airport announced Friday.
The expanded service will use Airbus A330neo aircraft configured with 459 economy class seats. This move will boost Sydney Airport’s weekly seat capacity to Manila by 44% compared to December 2019 levels, offering 3,213 seats per week.
“We are thrilled to be expanding our network at Sydney Airport. This development is a testament to our commitment to enhancing global connectivity and providing greater convenience for our passengers from Australia,” said Xander Lao, Cebu Pacific President and Chief Commercial Officer.
“The Philippines is home to a wide variety of sights and activities suited to every type of traveller. With our widest domestic network and value-for-money fares, we hope more visitors from Sydney will be able to explore the pristine beaches, delectable cuisines, and colourful festivals of the Philippines.”
Meanwhile, Sydney Airport CEO Scott Charlton noted that the airport will be the only one in Australia offering daily service to Manila.
“This new route not only strengthens our ties with the Philippines but also offers passengers seamless access to Manila, opening a world of opportunities for business and leisure alike. We are thrilled to support Cebu Pacific in delivering this valuable service and look forward to the positive impact it will have on both our communities,” Charlton said.
Cebu Pacific began operating the Sydney-Manila route on Sept. 9, 2014.
To mark the expansion, the airline is offering a promotional fare of 209 AUD for one-way tickets booked between Sept. 6-10, 2024, for travel from Nov. 1, 2024, to May 31, 2025.
