More and more passengers and airlines are finding Clark International Airport (CIA) in Pampanga an ideal starting point for domestic and international routes.
Despite its distance from Metro Manila, CIA is becoming the airport of choice for passengers from Central and Northern Luzon who now no longer have to travel to the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) for air travel.
For instance, budget carrier Cebu Pacific Air (CEB) flew over one million passengers to and from CIA in 2024, representing a 36 percent rise of nearly 300,000 passengers compared from the previous year.
The average monthly seat capacity increased by 102 percent to 161,000 in December 2024, which was a significant jump from the 79,000 seats available in January of the same year.
The average number of flights almost doubled from 441 in January to 872 in December.
The increase in flights and seat count aligns with the airline's mission to make travel more accessible to travelers from Central and Northern Luzon.
“We are delighted by the strong growth we achieved in 2024, which highlights the growing demand for accessible air travel among our passengers from central and northern Luzon. Cebu Pacific remains steadfast in its commitment to offering affordable and convenient flights, ensuring we meet the evolving needs of our customers,” Candice Iyog, Cebu Pacific’s Chief Marketing and Customer Experience Officer, said.
The airline currently services 11 domestic and international routes out of CIA.
Passengers can anticipate even more opportunities to explore more destinations with Cebu Pacific’s ongoing seat sales and special promotions.
Backed by its expanding network and unwavering commitment to exceptional customer service, Cebu Pacific continues to deliver accessible and hassle-free air travel for everyone.
CEB operates in 35 domestic and 26 international destinations spread across Asia, Australia, and the Middle East.
