Philippine Airlines (PAL) today announced the launch of a new nonstop service between Cebu (CEB) and Guam (GUM), starting December 16, 2025. This thrice-weekly flight will be the only direct air link between the two destinations, complementing the airline’s existing daily Manila-Guam service.
The new route is set to strengthen PAL’s position as a key carrier connecting Guam and Southeast Asia, while further solidifying Cebu’s role as a major international gateway for business and tourism. The new service reflects the airline’s commitment to expanding its regional network and meeting the growing demand for convenient travel options between the Philippines and the U.S. Pacific territory.
Flights from Cebu to Guam will operate every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, departing at 9:40 PM and arriving at 3:25 AM local time. Return flights from Guam to Cebu will depart every Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday at 5:15 AM, arriving at 6:50 AM. The route will be operated using a state-of-the-art Airbus A321ceo aircraft.
“This new service enhances Cebu’s role as a strategic gateway to international markets, while providing Guam’s large Filipino community and travelers from the U.S. Pacific territory direct access to the Visayas and Mindanao regions,” said Richard Nuttall, President of Philippine Airlines. “It reflects our commitment to growing our network and supporting economic and tourism flows between the Philippines and Guam.”
Athanasios Titonis, Chief Executive Officer of Aboitiz Infracapital Cebu Airport Corporation, added, “We are delighted to bring back direct flights to the United States with the launch of the Cebu-Guam route. This route not only makes island-to-island travel faster and more efficient but also creates a stronger gateway for visitors from the U.S. Pacific territories and Asia, boosting tourism and economic exchange for both destinations.”
The Cebu-Guam flights are part of PAL’s ongoing strategy to broaden its international reach beyond Manila. From Cebu, PAL currently offers direct flights to Ho Chi Minh, Incheon, Narita, and Osaka, as well as connections to major domestic hubs, providing seamless travel for passengers across the Visayas and Mindanao.
