Philippine Airlines (PAL) is expanding its Visayas network with the introduction of nonstop Cebu–Guam flights, effective December 16. The new service will provide travelers with a faster and more convenient connection between the central Philippines and the US Pacific territory. Read more for the flight schedule.
Flight Schedule
The Cebu–Guam service will operate three times weekly.
- Cebu to Guam: Every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, departing at 9:40 p.m. and arriving at 3:25 a.m. local time.
- Guam to Cebu: Every Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday, departing at 5:15 a.m. and arriving at 6:50 a.m.
Flights will be operated using PAL’s Airbus A321ceo aircraft.
Strengthening Cebu as a Gateway
The addition of this route reinforces Cebu’s role as a strategic international hub. With direct access to Guam, travelers can now bypass Manila and connect straight to the Visayas and Mindanao. This development also positions Mactan-Cebu International Airport as a stronger gateway for business and leisure travel in the region.
Serving Guam’s Filipino Community
Guam’s population of nearly 179,000 includes a large Filipino community that makes up almost 30 percent of the island’s residents. The direct link to Cebu will provide easier access for overseas Filipinos to visit their families while also encouraging stronger cultural and social ties between the two destinations.
Boosting Tourism and Trade
The Cebu–Guam connection is expected to encourage more inbound travel to the Philippines, with visitors from the US Pacific territory gaining faster access to the country’s central and southern islands. At the same time, the route supports trade and economic opportunities, strengthening the flow of goods, services, and investments between the two markets.
Expanding PAL’s US Network
The new Cebu–Guam service complements PAL’s existing daily Manila–Guam flights. It also joins the airline’s broader US route network, which includes Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, Seattle, and Honolulu. By diversifying its gateways, PAL continues to offer more options for Filipinos and international travelers alike.
