Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, January 21) — The country’s flag carrier will soon be flying passengers from the Queen City of the South straight to the US.
Philippine Airlines announced Tuesday they would be resuming direct, nonstop flights from Cebu to Los Angeles in May this year, adding the service would “help boost Philippine tourism” and also allow tourists from the US to go from Cebu to other destinations such as Siargao, Camiguin, Davao, Boracay, Coron, Bacolod, and Iloilo.
“We look forward to treating our customers to the fastest flights between the US Mainland and the Visayas/Mindanao region, via PAL’s new Cebu-LAX route. Our upcoming service from Cebu to LA is a vivid demonstration of our commitment to build up Mactan Cebu as a global aviation hub, a dynamic gateway, not only to domestic points but to major international destinations,” said PAL President Gilbert Santa Maria of the upcoming service.
The launch of the new service will increase PAL’s network offering to a total of 64 flights weekly to the USA, Canada and the US territory of Guam.
