Kalibo, Aklan- The Chinese are coming!
The Philippine Airlines (PAL) is set to land to Kalibo Airport on October 1 this time directly coming from Shanghai, China.
Percy Mallonesio, head of the Air Transportation Office (ATO)-Kalibo said that executives from the PAL have confirmed in his office that their airbus fleet will land at the Kalibo Airport with Chinese passengers bound to Boracay Island.
"The PAL have been inspired by the success of the on-going daily flight from Incheon, South Korea of other airline companies. The PAL hopes to become succesful in this new international direct flights," Malonesio said.
The ATO estimates that it will only take four to five hours from Shanghai, China to Kalibo Airport, thus the Chinese have now direct access towards Boracay. Estimated time of arrival of the aircraft is set at 6:00 am to land in Kalibo Airport.
Earlier, the Department of Tourism have expressed optimism on the Chinese market in tourism industry as it considers as one of the heavily populated country in the world.
In May 11, this year the Asian Spirit have made a historic landing at the Kalibo Airport as it flies the first international flight bound for Boracay coming from Incheon, South Korea. In July, after two months of the maiden flight it decided to have a six-day flight a week except Thursday.
But while the PAL have secured their maiden flight, a China airline have also expressed interest in landing its aircraft to Kalibo soon.
"Executives of the Spring Airline have made proper coordination with our office and they are planning to have a daily flight from Kalibo to Shanghai China soon," Malonesio said.
