Cebu Pacific Air Resumes Flights between Melbourne and Manila

After a lengthy break caused by COVID-19, Cebu Pacific Air (CEB), the Philippines’ leading low-cost carrier, has resumed direct flights between Melbourne and Manila. For the airline and the customers who have been eagerly awaiting the return of this service, this is a huge accomplishment. Leaving Melbourne International Airport at 2:11 a.m. AEDT on March 27, 2023, CEB’s restart flight 5J050 touched down in Manila Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 3 at 7:01 a.m. The passengers were excited to be a part of this historic journey, despite some turbulence during the voyage.

The new A330 neo aircraft, which has charging connections in every seat and seating that has been ergonomically built by Recaro for the Melbourne-Manila route, was used by CEB. Three times every week, on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, the airline operates flights between Melbourne and Manila. On the other hand, it has flights out of Manila every Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday.

In order to assure safety and convenience when travelling, CEB continues to use a multi-layered approach to safety, operating with a 100% fully vaccinated crew, 95% of whom have been boosted. The airline has always placed a high focus on safety, and since the COVID-19 epidemic is still active, its operations depend heavily on CEB’s safety procedures. Cebu Pacific Air keeps its guaranteed cheap rates available to encourage travel across its flight network. As part of its marketing campaign for the return of Mel-Mnl flights, the airline has partnered with Manila St. to distribute free ice cream in Melbourne Central. With the return of its Sydney-Manila service in July 2022, the flights were first announced to resume in January of this year.

Cebu Pacific and STB signed a partnership agreement earlier this month to promote travel to Singapore, which is a popular destination for tourists from the Philippines. Joint marketing and promotions, as well as joint business development in the fly-cruise, meetings, and incentive corporate group sectors, will be major undertakings in this 2023 MOU. It is anticipated that this partnership will increase travel and tourism between Singapore and the Philippines.

In general, the reinstatement of CEB’s Melbourne-Manila service is good news for passengers and the aviation sector as a whole. It’s crucial to have dependable and safe air travel options while the travel industry slowly recovers from the epidemic, and CEB’s dedication to safety and affordability is a welcome offering for anyone wishing to travel to the Philippines and beyond.
