Cebu Pacific is further expanding its domestic network with the launch of direct flights between Cebu and El Nido starting October 26, 2025. The new route, operated daily via Cebgo (DG), will give travelers from Central Visayas seamless access to Palawan’s world-famous paradise.
Currently, AirSWIFT is the only airline flying the Cebu–El Nido route. With Cebu Pacific’s entry, travelers can now enjoy more choices and competitive fares just in time for the holiday season.
“El Nido has long been one of the country’s most sought-after destinations, and soon it will be more accessible to those flying from Cebu and nearby provinces. By adding this route ahead of the holidays, we are not only strengthening inter-island connectivity but also creating more opportunities for every Juan to discover the best of the Philippines,” said Xander Lao, CEB President and Chief Commercial Officer.
The new flights will connect Central Visayas travelers directly to El Nido’s iconic lagoons, towering limestone cliffs, and powder-white beaches. From Cebu, passengers can also fly non-stop to other Palawan gateways such as Coron (Busuanga), Port Barton (San Vicente), and Puerto Princesa, making the island province more accessible than ever.
For tourists flying out of El Nido, Cebu offers its own distinct charm — from historic landmarks like Magellan’s Cross and Fort San Pedro, to its bustling food scene led by the world-renowned Cebu lechon.
Passengers may conveniently use their existing Travel Funds to book flights, along with flexible payment options including debit and credit cards, and e-wallets.
Cebu Pacific currently flies to 37 domestic and 26 international destinations across Asia, Australia, and the Middle East.
Travelers can book seats through the Cebu Pacific app or by visiting www.cebupacificair.com.
