Cebu Pacific is bringing back international services from Iloilo in November, restoring a useful option for travellers in western Visayas who want a direct link to Thailand and Singapore. According to the airline’s media release, flights from Iloilo to Bangkok via Don Mueang International Airport will start on 23 November, with the Bangkok-Iloilo return service beginning the following day.

For holidaymakers heading to Thailand, the schedule is set to be straightforward. The Iloilo-Bangkok service will run three times a week on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, while the return flights from Bangkok will operate on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. That should make it easier to plan shorter city breaks, beach connections or longer multi-stop trips without first routing through Manila.

The airline is also reviving Iloilo-Singapore flights on 23 November, also three times weekly on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, with return flights on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. For travellers, that opens up another practical one-stop gateway for onward journeys, while giving Iloilo-based passengers a wider choice of short-haul international departures closer to home.

The move comes as Cebu Pacific continues to lean on demand for both domestic and overseas travel. The carrier said it flew 16.72 million passengers from January to July, with domestic traffic doing most of the heavy lifting, while international traffic in the period was broadly flat. Earlier this year, the airline also reported record annual passenger volumes for 2025 and strong first-quarter traffic in 2026, underscoring the steady appetite for low-cost travel even as it has taken a more cautious approach to capacity and frequency planning.
