Cebu Pacific's Growth and Expansion in 2025: What You Need to Know

Cebu Pacific, one of the Philippines' leading budget airlines, is making bold moves in 2025. The airline has set ambitious growth targets, expanded its route network, and navigated supply chain challenges to ensure a strong position in the aviation industry. Here's everything you need to know about Cebu Pacific as of March 27, 2025, including its latest developments, expansion plans, and what travelers—especially from the USA—should expect.

Cebu Pacific’s Expansion Strategy for 2025

Cebu Pacific aims to carry 30 million passengers in 2025, a significant increase from 24.5 million passengers in 2024. This represents a mid-20% growth rate, fueled by the airline’s introduction of new domestic and international routes.

To meet this demand, Cebu Pacific has:

• Launched new routes from Clark International Airport, including daily flights to El Nido and Coron (Busuanga) starting March 30, 2025.

• Relocated Cebgo (DG) flights from Manila’s Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) to Clark, covering destinations such as Masbate and Siargao.

• Expanded its Clark hub, making it a strategic gateway for both domestic and international travelers​
