Cebu Pacific Rolls Out New Domestic Routes from Iloilo
Iloilo International Airport, a major transport hub in Western Visayas, continues to expand its reach to various provinces in the Philippines as Cebu Pacific rolls out new domestic routes. Inaugural flights for Iloilo-Tagbilaran (Bohol), Iloilo-Legazpi (Albay), and Iloilo-Dumaguete (Negros Oriental) are all happening in the first three days of December, respectively.
The Philippine carrier also announced on October 29 that flights for these routes are being sold with a P1 one-way base fare until October 31, exclusive of fees and surcharges. The travel period is from December 1, 2024, to May 31, 2025.

Cebu Pacific's Flights from Iloilo
The three new flights have the following frequency:
- Iloilo-Tagbilaran - daily flights starting December 1
- Iloilo-Legazpi - three flights per week starting December 2
- Iloilo-Dumaguete - three flights per week starting December 3
This comes after CEB's relaunch of its direct flights between Iloilo and Hong Kong last October 27, as well as the upcoming resumption of the Iloilo-Singapore route on November 26. Both routes were canceled during the COVID-19 pandemic, and it took some time before operations resumed. Cebu Pacific is now the sole airline with an international flight coming from Iloilo.
In an article by Panay News, Iloilo International Airport manager Manuela Luisa Palma explained that Gate 3 of the terminal is designated for international flights. It can accommodate 150 passengers, and can be configured with more chairs if necessary.
