Cebu Pacific will operate direct daily flights
between Manila and Dubai, beginning
October 7, 2013. CEB will be the only Filipino
carrier to fly direct to Dubai.
Daily flights from Manila to Dubai are
scheduled to depart at 4:40pm (Manila time),
while flights from Dubai to Manila depart at
11:10
pm (Dubai time). It will be the budget
airline’s first long-haul destination.
“
CEB is proud to be the only Filipino carrier
to fly direct to Dubai. We are glad to be of
service to over 700,000 Global Filipinos who
are in UAE. Now, our kababayans in Dubai
can enjoy fares that are up to 40% lower than
current offerings and fly direct to Manila, a
mere 9 hours away from their loved ones, via
a CEB flight,” says Alex Reyes, Cebu Pacific
General Manager, Long Haul Division.
“
With CEB’s direct service to Dubai,
Filipinos overseas can look forward to going
home more often. Their relatives and friends
can also visit them in Dubai more often,”
adds Reyes.
Data from the Philippine Overseas
Employment Administration (POEA) shows
that UAE ranks second to Saudi Arabia in
terms of number of land-based new hires and
rehires. In 2010, there were 201,214 land-
based workers deployed to UAE.
“
Dubai is the largest long-haul market to
and from the Philippines. IATA PaxIS data
indicate more than 70% of passengers in this
route take multiple stops, and connecting
flights because no home carrier offers a non-
stop service,” Reyes says.
CEB’s Manila-Dubai flights will be operated
on the Airbus A330-300 aircraft with a
configuration of more than 400 all-economy
class seats. Guests can also enjoy WiFi
connectivity inflight.
Starting October, you can fly directly from
Manila to Dubai via Cebu Pacific
