UMVA has learned that budget carrier Cebu Pacific will reignite its Manila‑Dubai corridor on July 2, after a series of suspensions tied to Middle‑East turbulence.
The airline plans to run the route four times a week—Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday—offering travelers a steady rhythm of connections between the Philippines and the United Arab Emirates.
Passengers stranded by earlier cancellations can now rebook their journeys, with the carrier promising free changes, travel‑fund conversions or refunds for those affected.
“The safety and well‑being of our passengers and crew remain our utmost priority,” the airline emphasized, urging travelers to stay alert to flight advisories and to verify status through its website.
While the Manila‑Dubai service returns, Cebu Pacific will maintain its Manila‑Riyadh flights on the same four‑times‑weekly schedule, keeping a foothold in the Gulf market.
Earlier suspensions stretched into late May as security concerns deepened, after an initial pause that was meant to end in April. The airline’s cautious approach reflected broader apprehension among airlines and airport operators about potential airspace restrictions.
NAIA’s operator has warned that, despite the resumption, international flights could still encounter hiccups due to ongoing airspace constraints linked to the regional conflict.
