MANILA – Following consistent flight demand to and from Singapore via the Clark International Airport (CRK), low-cost carrier Cebu Pacific (CEB) has increased operations between the two, from thrice weekly to daily.

"The Clark-Singapore route is one of the routes that we launched when CEB restarted its Clark hub in April 2023. Although flight frequencies change depending on the demand and aircraft availability, the Clark-Singapore flight continues to operate due to consistent demand among travelers from this station and its surrounding areas," CEB Communications Specialist Roxanne Gochuico told the Philippine News Agency Friday.

CEB’s daily flights to Singapore started June 1.

"As more people travel to Singapore, CRK and CEB are happy to provide even more convenient and hassle-free ways to reach the Garden City," Noel Manankil, manager of CRK operator Luzon International Premier Airport Development Corp., said.

Meanwhile, CEB recently renewed partnership with the Singapore Tourism Board (STB) not only to provide accessible and affordable flights, but also to further enhance Singapore's tourism industry by attracting more visitors from the Philippines, fostering cultural exchange and promoting economic growth.

According to CEB, the Philippines was Singapore's sixth largest tourism market in 2023, with almost 700,000 tourist arrivals.

"Our renewed partnership with STB aims to enhance the appeal for travel to Singapore, focusing now on the country's array of vibrant events," Gochuico said.

The carrier also introduced new ambassadors for the initiative and the partnership is set to feature Singapore's innovative architecture and cultural heritage.

Aside from Clark, the Gokongwei-owned airline also offers thrice daily flights between Manila and Singapore, and daily flights via Cebu. (PNA)
