Tourism hails Cebu Pacific’s Davao hub
The tourism industry players welcome the decision of turning Davao as the third hub of Cebu Pacific Air.
Business leader Mary Ann Montemayor said they encourage more airlines to fly from Davao to others parts of the world as this would increase visitor arrivals.
This will help the industry especially when there will be continuous access within the BIMP EAGA where some aircrafts are considering to serve.
Cebu Pacific Air announced through it president and chief executive officer Lance Y. Gokongwei of the company’s plan to make the city a hub.
It will field Airbus A-319, a 150 seater plane at the Davao International Airport inorder to intensify its promotion of the city as its third hub.
Davao will be the airline’s hub after Manila and Cebu as Gokongwei said Davao could become tourist destination in the Asian region. Flights between Davao and Hong Kong and Davao and Singapore are all in Cebu.
Meanwhile Philippine Airlines (PAL) senior vice president for Mindanao lawyer Domingo Duerme bared that they are looking into the Davao Hong Kong route which Cebu Pacific Air has started.
The plan is still being studied as to the market, availability of aircrafts and profitability. But the traffic is still low that’s why it is still being carefully studied.
If PAL opens that route it would be ideal for a direct route at twice weekly frequency, Duerme added,

Cebu Pacific should fix their internal problems such as a VERY VERY VERY POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE before sending such a news to people.

If you really look closely on how Cebu Pacific handles their customers complaints, there’s nothing to be happy with. Try to search the internet on the complaints against then, or you may wanna know my personal experience with Cebu Pacific.
