About Cebgo

Cebgo is the Cebu Pacific group’s regional airline, flying ATR turboprops from Manila and Cebu to small Philippine islands such as Caticlan (Boracay) and El Nido. Flights are sold in Cebu Pacific’s GO Basic, GO Easy and GO Flexi bundles, and in 2026 Cebgo began taking over AirSWIFT’s routes. This guide covers bundles, baggage, power bank rules and how Cebgo compares with Cebu Pacific and Nok Air.

Cebgo is the regional airline of the Cebu Pacific group. It started in 1995 as SEAir, later flew as Tigerair Philippines, and now flies ATR 72 turboprops to small island airports. All flights are sold through Cebu Pacific.

AirSWIFT Routes Move to Cebgo

After the Cebu Pacific group bought AirSWIFT, Cebgo took over some AirSWIFT flights to El Nido in February 2026 and was set to absorb AirSWIFT’s remaining operations from the third quarter of 2026. Check your ticket, as the operating airline may change.

Power Bank Rules on Cebgo

Cebgo follows Philippine and ICAO rules:

  • Up to 100 Wh is allowed; 100–160 Wh needs approval at check-in; over 160 Wh is banned.
  • A maximum of two power banks per passenger, in hand-carry only.
  • Power banks cannot be used during the flight.
  • Never pack power banks in checked bags.

Check-In and Weather

Check in online on the Cebu Pacific app. In Manila, check your terminal, as they are not connected airside. Typhoons and heavy rain can disrupt island flights, so GO Flexi is useful in the rainy season.
