Cebu Pacific is set to strengthen its Western Visayas presence with the launch of direct flights between Iloilo and Bangkok, marking the airline’s third international route from the regional hub.

Starting March 31, 2025, the carrier will operate thrice-weekly flights between Iloilo International Airport and Bangkok’s Don Mueang International Airport. The service will run every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, making Cebu Pacific the sole operator offering non-stop flights on this route.

We are thrilled to offer more travelers the opportunity to explore the majestic city of Bangkok. Strengthening our Iloilo hub allows us to connect even more passengers from the Western Visayas region to exciting destinations across our international network.

Xander Lao, Cebu Pacific President & Chief Commercial Officer

The new route complements the airline’s existing international services from Iloilo to Hong Kong and Singapore, further establishing the airport as a key gateway for the region. The expansion aligns with Cebu Pacific’s broader network growth in Thailand, where the carrier is also increasing flight frequencies from other Philippine cities.

Concurrent with the Iloilo launch, Cebu Pacific will boost its Bangkok services from Davao and Cebu to four times weekly starting March 30, while Manila-Bangkok flights will operate daily from March 31, according to flight schedules observed on the airline’s booking website.

To promote the new route, Cebu Pacific is offering promotional fares from Iloilo to Bangkok starting at PHP 1 one-way base fare, exclusive of fees and surcharges. The special fare sale runs from February 12 to 16, 2025, for travel between March 31 and October 25, 2025.

Cebu Pacific currently maintains a network of 37 domestic and 26 international destinations across Asia, Australia, and the Middle East.
