MANILA, Philippines - Cebu Pacific said the upgrade of the Legazpi International Airport as a night-capable facility has allowed the budget carrier to operate flights even in the evening. In a statement, Cebu Pacific said it is the first carrier to operate night flights out of the Legazpi International Airport after being upgraded by the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) with necessary facilities and declared ready to accommodate evening flights. At present, Cebu Pacific operates six daily flights to and from Legazpi via Manila and Cebu. Legazpi International Airport is the main airport of the Bicol region, serving provinces such as Albay and Sorsogon. “We are commending CAAP for taking action on our request, as this is a great step towards achieving the decongestion of NAIA,” Paterno Mantaring, vice president for corporate affairs at Cebu Pacific said.
