MANILA, Philippines — Gokongwei-owned Cebu Pacific is further expanding its reach in mainland China with the commencement of direct commercial service between Manila and Shenzhen next month. Shenzhen is the fifth Cebu Pacific destination in mainland China and is the airline’s 27th international destination. Cebu Pacific earlier expressed its intention to expand in North Asia, including opening significant new routes and possible new destinations in China. Flights between Manila and Shenzhen will run four times weekly—every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, starting on July 1. “At only two hours and 40 minutes’ flying time, the evening departure of the flights will enable travelers to make full use of business hours, both in Manila and in Shenzhen,” Cebu Pacific said.
