Cebu Pacific (PSE: CEB), the Philippines’ leading carrier, officially launched on March 30 its highly anticipated Clark–El Nido route, further enhancing access to one of the country’s top beach destinations.
Passengers on the inaugural flight were greeted with giveaways upon arrival at El Nido Airport, where CEB hosted a brief ceremony to celebrate the milestone. The event was attended by ASec Regional Director Roberto Alabado III, AirSwift President Fely Salvador, Ayala Land Estates Vice President Cris Zuluaga, El Nido Acting Municipal Administrator Engr Raul Maximo and El Nido Tourism Officer Shirlette Sumayo and CEBGO President and CEO & Cebu Pacific Chief Corporate Affairs Mike Shau.
“For years, El Nido has been a dream destination, yet for many, reaching it has been a challenge. Today, that changes. With this direct flight from Clark International Airport, we are removing barriers, connecting more travelers to this breathtaking paradise, and opening up new opportunities for tourism, business, and local economic growth,” Shau said in his speech during the celebration of the inaugural flight at El Nido Airport.
With the addition of the new route and the integration of AirSWIFT flights into CEB’s network, the airline will now operate the following routes to and from El Nido:
| Destinations | Frequency |
| El Nido – Bohol – El Nido | Daily |
| El Nido – Boracay – El Nido | Daily |
| El Nido – Clark – El Nido | Daily |
| El Nido – Cebu – El Nido | Daily |
| El Nido – Coron (Busuanga) – El Nido | Daily |
| El Nido – Manila – El Nido | 7x daily |
Aside from El Nido, CEB also launched flights from Clark to Coron (Busuanga), Masbate, and Siargao, reinforcing its commitment to improving connectivity and strengthening Clark International Airport’s position as Central Luzon’s gateway to the best Philippine and international destinations.
“Cebu Pacific’s strategic expansion at Clark International Airport reinforces Clark’s role as a key economic driver. Enhancing connectivity to key domestic and international destinations will not only boost tourism but will also serve as a strong magnet for high-impact investments and employment opportunities for the region. We at the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) are committed to transforming Clark into an ecosystem that fuels the nation’s progress, and this partnership with Cebu Pacific is a significant step in that direction,” said BCDA President and Chief Executive Officer Joshua M. Bingcang.
As part of its 29th anniversary festivities, CEB is offering travelers the chance to book flights across its network for as low as PHP 1 one-way base fare (exclusive of fees and surcharges) until March 31, 2025.
Whether it’s diving among Coron’s historic shipwrecks, parasailing in Boracay, lounging on Cebu’s white-sand beaches, or marveling at Bohol’s iconic Chocolate Hills, CEB is opening more opportunities for every Juan to explore the Philippines with its new routes and signature seat sales.
