MANILA – Low-cost airline Cebu Pacific (CEB) announced Wednesday it will operate daily flights between Clark and Incheon, South Korea beginning May 5.
"We continue to strengthen connectivity from our Clark hub which is important for Cebu Pacific because Clark services Central and Northern Luzon," CEB spokesperson Carmina Romero told the Philippine News Agency.
Romero added that the daily flights may be an exciting news for those who are fans of South Korean cuisine, culture and entertainment.
The services to Incheon brings the total number of CEB international destinations via Clark to six. Other destinations are Hong Kong, Bangkok, Singapore, Narita and Macau.
