Cebu Pacific now flies between Manila and Dubai
[SINGAPORE] Budget carrier Cebu Pacific Air has launched a non-stop, long-haul service between Manila and Dubai, as it seeks to cater to the 500,000 Filipinos living in the emirate.
This makes Cebu Pacific the first Philippine carrier to operate to Dubai in 15 years.
"Our goal has always been to combine low fares with great service," said Alex Reyes, general manager (long haul) for Cebu Pacific. "And by choosing Dubai as the first long-haul destination, we are serving one of the largest Filipino expat communities in the world. We are the Philippines' first choice for all domestic and near-haul flights because of our low fares and convenient travel options."
