CEBU Pacific (PSE: CEB), the Philippines’ leading carrier, continues to strengthen its Clark hub by adding flights to Taiwan, allowing more Juans to experience its bustling night markets and delicious street food.
Starting April 29, CEB will fly directly from Clark to Taipei four times weekly — every Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday. Return flights from Taiwan will begin on April 30 and will operate four times a week — every Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday.
Taiwan is home to the famous Shilin Night Market which hosts a wide variety of souvenir shops and food stalls. The country is also popular for its vibrant city life and towering skyscrapers, including the 1,667 feet-tall Taipei 101.
Taipei is the latest destination to be included in Cebu Pacific’s growing Clark hub. Previously, the airline announced that it would start operating direct flights from Clark to Incheon, Bangkok, Hong Kong, Macau, Narita, and Singapore, and to seven destinations across the Philippines.
To support the expansion, CEB will lease and base 3 aircraft at Clark International Airport. These are on top of the 10 new Airbus NEO aircraft that will be delivered in 2023 to expand the airline’s entire fleet.
CEB now flies to 34 domestic and 25 international destinations, spanning across Asia, Australia, and the Middle East.
… and daily flights from Clark to Incheon
Meanwhile, starting May 5, CEB will operate direct flights from Clark to Incheon daily. 5J 176 will depart Clark International Airport at 4:35 PM and will arrive in Incheon at 9:45 PM KST. Its return flight, 5J 177 will leave Incheon International Airport at 10:45 PM KST and will arrive in Clark at 2:05 AM on the following day.
Just a four-hour flight from Clark, South Korea is home to one of the most vibrant cultures in East Asia. Known for its world-famous K-BBQ, highly sophisticated television shows and films, beautiful hanbok traditional clothing, and delicious Korean dishes, South Korea remains as a go-to destination for Filipinos of all ages.
The launch of Clark–Incheon route brings the total number of international destinations that can be reached from Clark to six. Previously, CEB announced that it would operate eight domestic and five international destinations in Clark. ~
