The Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) welcomes the Philippine Airlines (PAL) flight connecting Cebu and Calbayog.
“By strengthening air links, we make it easier for people to travel for business, leisure, and family visits, while boosting tourism and local development,” said CAAP Director General Retired Lt. Gen. Raul Del Rosario.
CAAP spokesman Eric Apolonio said the inaugural flight from Cebu landed at Calbayog Airport at 8:42 a.m. on Sunday, October 26 and departed back to Cebu at 9:20 a.m. The new route will operate four times a week, every Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday.
Apolonio said the initiative marks a significant development in expanding regional air travel and supporting economic growth in Eastern Visayas, following the directives of President Ferdinand Marcos, Jr. and Acting Transportation Secretary Giovanni Lopez.
This milestone demonstrates CAAP’s commitment to supporting airline expansion in different regions, paving the way for stronger regional growth and mobility, he added.
