Philippine low cost carrier will be starting its first air link between its hub in Clark Airport – located north of Manila – to Japan.

The airline announced it will begin flights from Clark to Tokyo-Narita starting August 9, operating flights on a four-times weekly service. It will be second flight from Clark to a Japanese city, following Jetstar’s flights from Clark to Osaka-Kansai, and the first non-stop flights from Clark to Tokyo.

“There is so much untapped potential in Clark, and we are committed to expanding our Clark hub to expand tourism, trade and investment opportunities. This will open up the areas around Clark to more investors and entrepreneurs,” said Candice Iyog, Cebu Pacific’s Vice President for marketing said.

Iyog added: “With direct air service between Clark and Narita, it will be easier for Japanese tourists to access destinations in Pampanga, Pangasinan, Baguio, La Union and the rest of Luzon. Conversely, it will also be easier for residents in these areas to enjoy Tokyo, with a direct flight from Clark.”

Since opening flights to Tokyo-Narita, Cebu Pacific now currently flies daily flights to both Manila and Cebu from the capital of Japan. Tokyo will be the fourth international destination out of Clark for the Manila-based airline, where it operates flights from Clark to Hong Kong, Singapore, and Macau.
