CEBU CITY, Philippines – Flag carrier Philippine Airlines (PAL) has launched a groundbreaking nonstop service connecting Cebu City and Guam, marking the first direct air link between Central Visayas and the strategic Western Pacific island.

The inaugural flight took off from Mactan-Cebu International Airport on December 16, ushering in a new era of connectivity for the region.

The launch ceremony was attended by dignitaries and key figures from PAL, Aboitiz InfraCapital, GMCAC, the Mactan-Cebu International Airport Authority (MCIAA), the Department of Tourism (DOT), and various travel industry stakeholders, underscoring the significance of this new route.

The Cebu-Guam flights operate three times a week, departing from Mactan-Cebu International Airport every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday at 9:40 PM and arriving in Guam at 3:25 AM local time.
