Cebu Pacific will launch or resume five international routes in the fourth quarter of 2026, adding direct links from the Philippines to cities in China, Vietnam and Japan. The network expansion will begin on 26 October with Cebu–Ho Chi Minh City, followed by Clark–Hanoi, Cebu–Shanghai, Cebu–Nagoya and Manila–Xiamen, with frequencies ranging from two to four weekly flights.
The airline is targeting the year-end holiday period with services that widen access from Central Visayas, Central Luzon and Metro Manila to key Asian markets. Cebu–Ho Chi Minh City and Clark–Hanoi will each operate three times a week, Cebu–Shanghai and Cebu–Nagoya will both run four times weekly, and Manila–Xiamen will operate twice weekly. Some of the routes restore services previously flown by the carrier, while others are new additions.
Cebu Pacific will be the only Philippine carrier on some of the city pairs, including Cebu–Shanghai and Cebu–Nagoya, and the only airline on Clark–Vietnam at the time of the announcement. The planned network build-up strengthens the airline’s regional reach without requiring travellers on several of the routes to connect through Manila.
