Tourists now have the choice to visit the surfing capital through these airports.
In its press statement on Wednesday, August 20, flag carrier Philippine Airlines (PAL) said that it is making Siargao more accessible with more flight options via Clark and Cebu.
These new routes complement the popular Manila-Siargao route, and as a result, also improves connectivity for travelers to and from the popular island destination.
“Granting Siargao alternative air connections via Clark and Cebu addresses the appeal for air access and encourages local tourism and economic activity,” said PAL express President Rabbi Ang.
He adds, “We are happy to play a leading role in the steady development of Siargao, wherein both the visitors and the residents will prosper due to expanded air transport opportunities.”
Via the Clark International Airport, located in the central part of mainland Luzon, it is an ideal choice for most travelers in the regions it serves, and it can also accommodate those from Metro Manila, who can access the airport using available transport.
In addition to that, another option presented to travelers is by flying the Manila-Cebu flight and transfer to Siargao.
Cebu, the business and tourism center in the Visayas, is hailed for its fast and efficient layovers are sufficient to facilitate smooth transfers between flights, allowing it to provide a suitable alternative for accessing the island.
PAL continues to have direct Manila-Siargao flights, which serve residents and tourists of the country’s capital as well as travelers connecting from international flight routes. Additionally, the airline also ensured that the route remains a viable service for them.
