CEBU Pacific has restarted its direct flights from Cebu to Singapore starting last Friday, making it the second international service the airline has resumed this month.
The company explained the flight will be operating said route thrice weekly or every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
Flight 5J 547 departs from the Mactan Cebu International Airport Terminal 2 at 11:05 p.m. and arrives at Changi International Airport at 3 a.m. the following day. Its return flight, 5J 548, with flights every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, leaves Singapore at 4 p.m. and arrives in Cebu at 8:05 a.m.
This direct flight enables passengers from 22 other domestic destinations to fly to Singapore via Cebu. This includes Clark, Davao, Dumaguete, Tacloban and Zamboanga, among others.
“We are excited to bring this route back to allow more passengers from Cebu and the rest of our network, especially those in the Visayas and Mindanao regions to fly internationally without passing through Manila. This route resumption is part of our continuous efforts to restore our pre-pandemic system-wide capacity,” Cebu Pacific Chief Commercial Officer Xander Lao said.
Apart from Singapore, the carrier resumed its flights to Seoul from its Cebu hub earlier this month.
Fully vaccinated guests entering Singapore are not required to submit a pre-departure Covid- 19 test and are not required to undergo quarantine upon arrival. They must instead present their proof of full vaccination (VaxCertPH or BOQ Yellow Card), and fill out a Singapore Arrival card three days before arrival.
And in flying back to Cebu, vaccinated Filipinos no longer need to take a Covid-19 test pre-departure.
