Cebu Pacific (CEB) continues to expand its international network by resuming flights to Kota Kinabalu, bringing the number of its international destinations to 19.

“We stopped operating (Kota Kinabalu route) in March 2020 due to the pandemic. We intend to resume operations on Oct. 31, twice weekly,” CEB corporate communications manager Michelle Lim said Monday.

Flights from the Ninoy Aquino International Airport will be every Monday and Friday at 11:25 p.m.; return flights from Kota Kinabalu will be every Tuesday and Saturday at 2:35 a.m.

Those bound for Malaysia are required to download the MySejahtera app, register and indicate their coronavirus risk status.

On the other hand, everyone exiting the Philippines should print and fill out the Immigration form before their flight schedule.

“As more destinations ease travel restrictions, flying back to the country has been convenient for boosted individuals. They no longer need to submit Covid-19 test results upon check-in,” CEB chief commercial officer Xander Lao said.

The carrier said it now operates 88 per cent of its pre-pandemic capacity and currently services 34 domestic and 19 international destinations. At least 95 per cent of its crew have already received booster shots against Covid-19.

“We invite everyone to experience another side of Malaysia. Adventure seekers are up for a treat — from island hopping to nature tripping to trekking — our flight resumption to Sabah, Malaysia’s capital, will make all these within reach,” said Lao.
