PAL now flies Cebu-Catarman, more flights to Siargao on March 1

CEBU CITY -- Philippine Airlines (PAL) introduces a new Cebu-Catarman route on March 1, 2025 pioneering a thrice weekly service to link Cebu with Catarman City, the capital of Northern Samar and one of the leading commercial and educational centers in Eastern Visayas, and also mounting more frequent flights between Cebu and Siargao.

To promote the new Cebu-Catarman-Cebu service, PAL offers a special introductory base fare as low as PHP 698 which is available until January 31 and for travel from March 1.

For the Cebu-Siargao services, PAL adds midmorning flights on Wednesdays and Sundays, for a total of 18 weekly flights between Cebu and Siargao Island, the surfing capital of the Philippines and home to pristine beaches, white sand islets and hidden lagoons.  

“Philippine Airlines is happy to upgrade services to Catarman through this new link from Cebu. Samar residents and travelers will now have better access to Cebu, and the new route will also give Cebuanos more options to visit Northern Samar,”  PAL Express President  Rabbi Ang said.

 The new Cebu hub services to Catarman and Siargao are part of PAL’s continuing commitment to enhance inter-island connectivity, boosting tourism and stimulating business, Ang added.

PAL is glad to partner with the Northern Samar government authorities and the local community in helping build up air travel to support the success of this new route to Catarman, to operate with the 86-seater De Havilland Dash 8 Series 400 Next Generation aircraft.

Travelers from Catarman City may use PAL’s Cebu hub to connect conveniently to Caticlan (Boracay), Clark, Busuanga (Coron), Bacolod, Cagayan de Oro, Iloilo, Puerto Princesa and Siargao.   PAL also serves Catarman with four weekly flights to and from Manila.

The flag carrier also serves Siargao with two daily flights to and from Manila, and three weekly flights from Clark.
