Cebu Pacific Air (5J, Manila Ninoy Aquino International) is set to resume flights between Manila Ninoy Aquino International and Riyadh beginning March 1, 2026. Flights between the two cities, which were halted in 2017, will be operated 4x weekly using its 459-seat, all-economy configured A330-900N fleet. The LCC had previously offered flights to Doha Hamad International, Dammam, and Kuwait, as well, although all of these Middle Eastern routes were suspended as economically unviable at that time.

The carrier operates a mainline fleet of fifteen A320-200s, twenty-four A320-200Ns, seven A321-200, nineteen A321-200NX, and thirteen A330-900Ns. Currently, it flies its widebody jets to three long-haul destinations, namely Sydney Kingsford Smith, Melbourne Airport, and Dubai International, to serve the Filipino diaspora in these areas.
