The Philippines’ largest national flag carrier, Cebu Pacific, has announced it will operate direct daily flights between Manila and Dubai, beginning October 7, 2013.

The airline said in a statement that it will be the only Filipino carrier to fly direct to Dubai and will be the budget airline’s first long haul destination.

Alex Reyes, Cebu Pacific general manager, Long Haul Division, said: “CEB is proud to be the only Filipino carrier to fly direct to Dubai. We are glad to be of service to over 700,000 Filipinos who are in UAE."

The airline said it is also offering over 3,000 seats to Dubai for the special fare of PHP888 ($21.80).

This seat sale is available until January 20 for travel from October 7 to January 15, 2014, the budget carrier added.

“With CEB’s direct service to Dubai, Filipinos overseas can look forward to going home more often. Their relatives and friends can also visit them in Dubai more often,” added Reyes.
