PAL Boracay flights to start on Oct. 4
Oct 1, 2020
Flag carrier Philippine Airlines (PAL) said it has decided to move the schedule of the resumption of its flights to Boracay via Caticlan airport in Aklan to October 4.
PAL had earlier announced that it will resume flights to Boracay on October 1.
The carrier said the decision to move the schedule of flights is aimed at boosting domestic tourism as the government is re-opening the popular Boracay Island to Filipino tourists.
PAL’s first Manila-Caticlan-Manila service starts Sunday, departing from Manila at 11:10 a.m. as PR 2041, and arriving at Caticlan’s Godofredo P. Ramos Airport at 12:10 p.m.
The return flight, PR2042, will leave Caticlan at 12:55 p.m. and touch down in Manila at 1:55 p.m.
PAL plans flights on October 4, 9 and 11. This will pave the way for a regular twice weekly Manila-Caticlan-Manila schedule operating every Friday and Sunday from October 16 onwards.
The company’s modern Dash 8 Q400 aircraft will be deployed for the revived Boracay flights.
“Our Caticlan flights are here to support the Department of Tourism’s [DOT] vision to reopen Boracay island and other tourist destinations around the country,” the carrier said.
“PAL, DOT and travel industry stakeholders are working together to support jobs and livelihoods by rejuvenating domestic tourism.”
PAL spokesperson Cielo Villaluna said the government is giving local tourists the green light to travel to Boracay from areas under general community quarantine and modified general community quarantine.
