Sapporo is Cebu Pacific’s fifth destination in Japan
Cebu Pacific began its maiden flight from Manila to Sapporo on January 16, the only airline to offer direct flights between the two cities.
Sapporo is Cebu Pacific’s fifth destination in Japan. Aside from Sapporo, the airline flies to Tokyo (Narita), Osaka, Nagoya, and Fukuoka from Manila, Clark, or Cebu.
The thrice-weekly direct flights are every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. The direct service shortens the journey by up to five hours and offers passengers the opportunity to save up to 63% on airfare, the airline said.
“Sapporo is a gem in Japan’s tourism landscape, renowned for its winter magic, stunning natural parks, and rich cultural heritage. We are excited to bring Sapporo much closer to our Filipino travelers in our commitment to make air travel even more accessible and affordable for every Juan,” said Xander Lao, Cebu Pacific president and chief commercial officer.
The launch of CEB’s newest international destination, announced in November last year, was marked by a festive ceremony at the NAIA Terminal 3, graced by Ambassador of Japan to the Philippines Kazuya Endo, Transportation Undersecretary Roberto Lim, and Japan National Tourism Organization Executive Director Makoto Watanabe.
