Philippine Airlines Introduces Direct A321ceo Flights from Cebu to Guam
Philippine Airlines (PAL) recently launched its first nonstop flights connecting Mactan-Cebu International Airport (CEB) to Antonio B. Won Pat International Airport (GUM) in Guam on December 16, 2025. This new travel route enhances connectivity between the Central Visayas region of the Philippines and the U.S. territory in the western Pacific.
A launch ceremony was held at Mactan-Cebu International Airport, bringing together dignitaries from PAL, Aboitiz InfraCapital GMCAC, the Mactan-Cebu International Airport Authority (MCIAA), the Department of Tourism, and numerous representatives from the travel industry to celebrate this significant occasion.
This new Guam-bound service operates three times a week, utilizing PAL’s Airbus A321ceo aircraft. Flights from Cebu are scheduled to depart on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays at 21:40 local time, arriving in Guam at 03:25. The return flights from Guam to Cebu take place on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays, with departures at 05:15 and an arrival time of 06:50.
With this Cebu-Guam route, PAL adds to its daily services between Manila and Guam, providing travelers in the Visayas region with direct access to the U.S. territory without needing to transfer through the capital city.
This route is anticipated to boost tourism as well as family visits, considering Guam is home to a large Filipino community and is a favored travel spot for many in the Philippines.
