Cebu Pacific Air (5J, Manila Ninoy Aquino International) is hoping to begin direct flights to Honolulu in the middle of next year, its second US route after Guam International.
During a courtesy call to the Philippine Consul General to Honolulu Gina A. Jamoralin on November 18, Cebu executives said they would initially aim for a 3x weekly service from Manila Ninoy Aquino International.
The Philippines was upgraded to Category 1 safety status by the US Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) earlier this year paving the way for Philippine carriers such as Cebu Pacific and Philippine Airlines (PR, Manila Ninoy Aquino International) to either begin or resume direct flights to the United States.
Cebu's longhaul operations currently includes flights to Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, and Australia.
