Kalibo, Aklan – Two airline companies, Asian Spirit and Pacific Pearl, will start to cover direct flights from South Korea to Kalibo Airport with a maiden flight on the first and third week of March respectively that is projected to bring Korean tourists to Kalibo without suffering through the hustles and bustles of connecting flights at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport.
Seen by Aklan Congressman Florencio Miraflores as the first in Western Visayas to receive international flights ahead of the international airport in Sta. Barbara in Iloilo, visitors and tourists from South Korea will no longer endure going through customs, immigration and quarantine before waiting for their connecting flight to Kalibo only to go through the same security checks again.
With a projection of three flights a week for Asian Spirit and continuous chartered flights for the Pacific Pearl Airlines, Kalibo Mayor Raymar A. Rebaldo envisions that the international flights will help in the continued urbanization and boost the local economy of Kalibo through tourism and commerce.
Kalibo prides itself with the mother of Philippine festivals, the Kalibo Sto. Niño Ati-Atihan Festival, and the Manggad it Kalibo (Wealth of Kalibo) tourism package featuring the world renowned Bakhawan Eco-Park. Terence Toriano
