Previously, Cebu Pacific suspended its services between the two cities due to regional network and capacity adjustments. The budget carrier competes with Philippine Airlines’ seasonal winter services on the route, which will operate thrice-weekly from November 23 through March 26, 2027.

From Manila, Cebu Pacific offers flights to five destinations in Japan: Tokyo Narita, Osaka Kansai, Fukuoka, Nagoya, and Sapporo. In addition, the airline also operates flights from Cebu to Kansai and Narita.
