More LCCs expand to Philippine-Asia Pacific region
As Cebu Pacific Air launches its first service to a US territory, Japan-based LCC Vanilla Air said it also intends to expand across the Pacific region. In addition, Philippine Airlines has also announced a new Saipan-Manila service. All the carriers are increasing services on the strength of expanding tourism numbers across the Pacific region—and the attraction of a low-key entry to US jurisdiction through Guam and Saipan. A Guam tourism spokesperson said the new Cebu Airbus A320-based service offers a “new opportunity to further connect our island ... and serve as the gateway to Micronesia and other regions of the world.” Describing its new Manila-Guam route as “another expansion path across the Pacific,” Cebu confirmed it is committed to expanding operations across the region. <br/>
