TRAVELERS from Cebu can now directly fly to El Nido, Palawan with an airline company opening a new route to connect two of the country’s most visited tourist destinations.
AirSWIFT, operated by the Island Transvoyager Inc., operated its inaugural flight for the Cebu-El Nido route last Thursday afternoon.
“It goes without saying that Cebu and El Nido are two of the top destinations in the Philippines, and until today it was extremely difficult to get from one place to the other,” AirSWIFT general manager Alfie Reyes said during the launch in the Mactan Cebu International Airport.
The airline company offers daily flights from Cebu to El Nido and vice versa.
Its 50-seater aircraft flies from El Nido to Cebu at 12:55 p.m. every day, and the expected time of arrival is 2:35 p.m.
Daily flight from Cebu to El Nido is scheduled at 3:15 p.m., and the expected time of arrival is 4:55 p.m.
“We are confident that there will be a good market for this in Cebu,” Reyes said. AirSWIFT starts daily Cebu-El Nido flight | Sun.Star
