Sunlight Air, a unit of Sunlight Express Airways, launched its operations at Clark International Airport (CRK) with its maiden flight Monday, state-run Clark Development Corp. (CDC) said.
“These flights are testaments to the trust and confidence in Clark, not just as an investment destination but also as a tourism destination. We look forward to having you as a partner in our continuous promotion of Clark as a center for meetings, incentives, conventions and exhibitions,” said CDC vice president of business development and business enhancement group Noelle Mina Meneses.
CDC said the new flights not only strengthen Clark’s position as an investment hub, but also enhance its reputation as a premier tourist destination.
Sunlight Air chief executive Ryna Brito-Garcia revealed the carrier’s plans to make travel within the Philippines more accessible for Filipinos.
“We are thrilled to have launched our first flight from Clark with the support of the Luzon International Premiere Airport Development Corp. [LIPAD],” she said.
The inaugural flight, 2R601 to Busuanga, took off from CRK on April 1 at 2:10 p.m. New routes to Siargao, San Vicente, Coron and Caticlan will provide improved connectivity for travelers across the country.
LIPAD Corp. president and chief executive Noel Manankil reiterated their commitment to providing Sunlight Air passengers with the best travel experience that prioritizes efficiency, convenience and customer satisfaction.
Sunlight Air has a fleet of ATR 72-500 aircraft, known for their efficiency, reliability and passenger comfort.
