Cebu Pacific is ramping up its international connectivity in the fourth quarter this year with the launch of additional direct flights to key cities in China, Japan, and Vietnam.

Starting October 26, Cebu Pacific will restore its direct flights between Cebu and Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam with three times weekly flights operating every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

On November 17, the carrier will also operate three times weekly flights between Cebu and Shanghai, China, scheduled on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, making it the only local airline to offer direct flights between the two cities. Shanghai to Cebu flights will also operate three times weekly every Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday beginning November 18, 2026.

Cebu Pacific will also launch direct flights between Cebu and Nagoya, Japan four times weekly beginning November 19, with flights every Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday. Nagoya, the largest city in central Japan, is the third destination in the country that can be reached directly from Cebu via Cebu Pacific, after Tokyo-Narita and Osaka. Cebu Pacific is also the only airline that offers direct flights between Cebu and Nagoya.

On November 19, the airline is relaunching its direct flights between Clark and Hanoi, Vietnam, operating three times weekly – every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. Cebu Pacific is the only airline to offer direct flights between Clark and Vietnam, making it easier for travelers from Central Luzon and nearby areas to fly directly to Hanoi without the need to transit through Manila.

Moreover, Cebu Pacific is also resuming its direct flights to Xiamen, China beginning November 23 and will operate three times weekly – every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, expanding the airline’s network in China. The airline currently operates direct flights from Manila to Shanghai and Guangzhou, offering passengers greater access to key business and leisure destinations in the country.

“At Cebu Pacific, we continue to strengthen our network to give every Juan a better opportunity to explore more destinations across Asia,” Cebu Pacific president and chief commercial officer Xander Lao said in a statement.

“The launch of additional direct flights to China, Vietnam, and Japan not only provide travelers from all over the Philippines with more convenient access to these vibrant cities but also encourages more international travelers to visit and explore our country. As we continue to expand our international network, we remain committed to making travel more accessible and affordable for our passengers,” Lao added.
