CATICLAN AIRPORT — Cebu Pacific (CEB) had added a direct Cebu-Boracay (Caticlan) daily service to its domestic network starting last April 4, it was reported.
Philippine Chamber of Commerce-Boracay President Charles Uy sent off the passengers to the paradise island at the Mactan Cebu International Airport (MCIA) departure area, saying: "It is the first time an ATR72-500 with a 74-seat capacity will be landing in the Caticlan Airport , and we really welcome this development from Cebu Pacific."
CEB’s newest ATR aircraft was just delivered a few days ago prior to the maiden Cebu-Boracay (Caticlan) flight.
It landed at the MCIA for the first time last April 4 at approximately 11:00 a.m.
CEB spokesperson Candice Iyog said, "Boracay has one of the world’s best beaches, and with our trademark year-round ‘Go’ fares, more Filipinos and foreign tourists will now be able to spend less on their air travel and more on the fun and exciting activities the island has to offer.
