Cebu Pacific (CEB) to increase Manila-Cagayan de Oro flights
Cebu Pacific (CEB) officials said they are increasing flights to Davao city and have no plans of laying off workers despite the global economic downturn.
According to reports, just earlier this week, the regional office of the Labor department said Air Philippines is reducing its workers in this city, with two employees so far laid off based on official notice submitted to the agency.
On the other hand, tourism industry leaders projected a lower number of visitor arrivals this year not only due to the global economic slump but also due to negative media reports about Mindanao.
Additionally, Candice A. Iyog, vice-president for marketing and distribution said,”Our Cagayan de Oro operation has remained one of our strongest performing routes. We continue to maintain high passenger loads with our trademark low fares, convenient schedule, and new planes.”
Ms. Iyog said Cebu Pacific would also be adding flights to Cagayan de Oro City next month. “Our Manila-Cagayan de Oro flights will increase from 35 times weekly to 39 times weekly,” she said.
