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.

The upgrade allows airlines to offer more flights for passengers to choose from.

At present, Cebu Pacific operates six daily flights to and from Legazpi via Manila and Cebu.

Evening flights operated by Cebu Pacific’s wholly-owned subsidiary Cebgo, depart Manila at 6:15 p.m. and 7:20 p.m, and arrive in Legazpi at 7:40 p.m. and 8:45 p.m., respectively.

The return flights meanwhile, leave Legazpi at 8:20 p.m. and 9:35 p.m., and land in Manila at 9:40 p.m. and 10:55 p.m., respectively.

The upgrade is likewise seen to give a further boost to tourism in Legazpi which serves as a regional hub for business, education and government.

Legazpi International Airport is the main airport of the Bicol region, serving provinces such as Albay and Sorsogon.
