Xiamen
CEBU PACIFIC (CEB)
is set to fly to all major
coastal cities in China when it commences
Manila-Xiamen-Manila flights on March 23. It
will be a three-times-a- week service, utilizing
one of CEB’s brand-new Airbus jet aircraft.
Xiamen is a highly industrialized city in the
Fujian Province, on the Southeastern coast
of mainland China. It was ranked China’s 2nd
most suitable city for living by a Beijing-
based polling agency, with highly developed
banking services and open policy towards
foreign investment and trade.
Flights for this route are scheduled to
depart Manila at 11:20pm every Monday,
Wednesday and Friday, arriving in Xiamen
at 01:35am. Return flights will leave Xiamen
at 2:25am every Tuesday, Thursday and
Saturday, and arrive in Manila at 04:40am.
“CEB looks forward to expanding its
network in China, especially with Xiamen
and Fujian Province being the well-known
hometown of about 85% Filipino-Chinese in
the Philippines, including the Gokongweis.
We hope CEB’s thrice weekly flights to
Xiamen will boost trade tremendously
between China and the Philippines,” said CEB
VP for Marketing and Distribution Candice
Iyog. “We flew 30% more passengers to
mainland China in the 3rd quarter of 2011,
compared to the same period last year."
The airline currently flies thrice weekly
to Beijing and Guangzhou, and daily to
Shanghai. It earlier announced plans to
increase flights to Beijing, after its 1st year
of operations last September 5. For more
