“We are delighted to continue ramping-up our internatio­nal flight frequencie­s, not only in Manila, but also in Cebu. We know majority of the traveling public have been looking forward to travel internatio­nally again, especially since a lot of countries have eased their restrictio­ns. We continue to work towards the expansion of our internatio­nal network while we maintain operating over 100 percent of our pre-pandemic domestic capacity,” said Xander Lao, Ceb Chief Commercial Officer.

Fully vaccinated travelers flying to Singapore are no longer required to submit a pre-departure Covid-19 test. They must instead present their proof of full vaccinatio­n (Vaxcertph or BOQ Yellow Card), and fill out a Singapore Arrival card 3 days before arrival. For more informatio­n, the airline said passengers may refer to Ceb Travel reminders page for the latest updates and complete travel guidelines to their destinatio­n.

Ceb continues to offer its guaranteed low fares to stimulate travel across its flight network. It continues to implement a multi-layered approach to safety, while it operates with a 100 percent fully vaccinated crew, 95 percent of whom have been boosted.
