"We are proud to operate our first route in the US today, which coincides with the month of our 20th anniversary. We share this excitement with Filipinos in Guam, who may now come home to their families more often, and with travelers from the Philippines, who aim to cross another destination off their bucket list," says Alex Reyes, CEB General Manager for Long Haul Division.
"We hope to strengthen trade and tourism between the Philippines and Guam, through faster, more affordable, and more accessible flights for everyJuan," added Reyes.
CEB's Guam route operates every Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday, utilizing the airline's brand-new Airbus A320 fleet.
