United Airlines Expands Service to the Philippines with Direct Flights from Tokyo/Narita to Cebu

In a significant expansion of its service offerings in the Philippines, United Airlines has announced the introduction of year-round, non-stop flights connecting Tokyo-Narita and Cebu, beginning July 31. This new service establishes United Airlines as the only U.S. carrier to offer flights to Cebu, enhancing its presence in the region and providing passengers with more travel options.

The daily flights to Cebu will be operated using Boeing 737-800 aircraft, known for their comfort and reliability. This service is designed to cater to both business and leisure travelers, offering convenient connections for passengers traveling from United’s U.S. hubs in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Denver, Newark-New York, and Houston to Tokyo-Narita.

United Airlines’ commitment to the Philippines is further demonstrated by its unique position as the sole U.S. carrier offering transpacific service to the country. In addition to the new Tokyo-Narita to Cebu route, United provides daily flights between San Francisco and Manila, as well as routes connecting Manila with Guam and Palau. These connections underscore United’s strategic focus on expanding its global route network and enhancing accessibility to and from the Philippines.

Under the guiding principle “At United, Good Leads The Way,” the airline prioritizes excellence in customer service, innovation, and broadening its international footprint. Operating from major U.S. hubs including Chicago, Denver, Houston, Los Angeles, New York/Newark, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C., United boasts one of the most extensive global route networks among carriers in North America. The umbrella entity, United Airlines Holdings, Inc., is publicly traded on the Nasdaq stock exchange, identifiable by the ticker symbol “UAL.”

The introduction of this new service highlights United Airlines’ commitment to providing exceptional service and connectivity to its passengers. With the largest airline in the world by available seat miles, United is poised to continue leading the way in global aviation.
