Cebu Pacific Air is the largest discount carrier in the Philippines. In a recent press release, the airlines has announced that they hope to get permission from the U.S. Department of Transportation to offer service from the Philippines to Honolulu and other cities in the United States. Currently all airlines in the Philippines are banned from the U.S. due to safety concerns. However, Cebu Pacific Airlines is proposing to lease an aircraft and crew from a currently register U.S. carrier and simply market the flights as Cebu Pacific. Other then flying to Honolulu, Cebu Pacific Air would like to fly to San Francisco, Los Angeles, Guam, and four additional unnamed destinations in the United States.
Hawaii Tourism Authority’s vice president of brand management, David Uchiyama, stated, ”We’ve been talking to Cebu for a while now. They have expressed an interest and we have been providing them with data. (The additional service) would help (Filipino) residents. We see a lot of family travel between the Philippines and Hawaii.”
