Cebu Pacific cuts fares, boosts capacity to support domestic tourism

Budget airline Cebu Pacific reduced fares and increased capacity on domestic routes in response to the impact of the coronavirus outbreak on tourism.

The airline lowered base fares to as low as P88 across 70 destinations, with upgrades to larger-capacity aircraft or additional flights increasing capacity by an average of 44%.

Cebu Pacific's vice president for marketing and customer experience, Candice Iyog, said the measures aim to encourage Philippine residents to travel within the country.
