Philippine Airlines launched its twice-weekly Cebu-Borongan service on December 19.
The inaugural PR 2651 service departed Mactan-Cebu International Airport at 11:05 am with 73 passengers on a De Havilland Dash 8 Series 400 Next Generation aircraft (RP-C5907). The flight landed at Borongan Airport in Eastern Samar at 11:55 am, PAL said in a statement.
The Cebu-Borongan-Cebu flights operate every Monday and Friday.
PAL said the service is expected to boost business and tourist travel to the popular surfing spot that is winning the attention of adventurous travelers.
“We are delighted to link Borongan City with Cebu for the first time, opening direct access for more travelers to discover the beauty and special attractions that Eastern Samar has to offer,” said PAL vice president for sales Bud Britanico.
“As we continue to expand our network hub in Cebu, we view our new Cebu-Borongan route as a huge opportunity for Eastern Samar to generate more good business and tourism revenues to uplift the local economy. Philippine Airlines will do its part to promote travel to Borongan, not just from Cebu but also from Manila and other cities in PAL’s domestic and regional network.”
The carrier also offers a one-stop connection to Borongan from Manila, as PAL flights from Manila to Cebu enable travelers to hop on to the new Cebu-Borongan service for their onward journey.
