PAL enhances Iloilo’s global connectivity via Cebu-Guam Route

Flag carrier Philippine Airlines (PAL) is set to boost international travel options for Ilonggos with the launch of its new Cebu-Guam direct flights starting December 16, 2025, offering a seamless gateway to the U.S. Pacific territory.

The thrice weekly service between Cebu and Guam departing Cebu every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday at 9:40 PM is designed to connect travelers from Western Visayas, including Iloilo, to the United States more efficiently. Return flights from Guam to Cebu will operate every Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday, arriving in time for onward domestic connections.

PAL has also added a third daily Cebu-Iloilo-Cebu flight to make same-day travel between Iloilo and Guam easier. Passengers can now connect from Iloilo to Guam via Cebu in just 1 hour and 30 minutes, and from Guam to Iloilo via Cebu in 2 hours and 50 minutes.

From Iloilo, passengers can easily connect to Cebu via PAL’s regular domestic flights, enabling same-day transit to Guam and onward destinations in the U.S. such as Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, Seattle, and Honolulu. This new route complements PAL’s existing Manila-Guam daily service and reinforces Cebu’s role as a strategic international hub.

“The new Cebu-Guam service reinforces Cebu’s position as a strategic international gateway,” said PAL Head of Philippine Sales Bryan Ang. “It will provide easier access to the Visayas and

Mindanao regions, fostering greater opportunities for business, trade, and tourism across the Philippine Islands.”

With PAL’s growing domestic and international network, travelers from Iloilo now have more options to reach global destinations via Cebu. PAL’s Cebu hub offers direct flights to Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, and now Guam, with convenient connections from Iloilo.
