Philippine Airlines (PAL) launched its new Manila-Cauayan-Manila to boost tourism in Isabela province.
The new PAL service offers daily flights for the convenience of traveling tourists, businessmen and families.
Replacing a land trip of more than 10 hours from Manila, the flights promote Cauayan as gateway to Isabela province, known for its festivals, including the annual Bambanti and Gawagaway-yan events.
“We are pleased to introduce our new Manila-Cauayan-Manila route to serve the residents of Isabela province,” said PAL Express president Rabbi Vincent Ang.
“At Philippine Airlines, we are happy to be part of a story of economic progress in Northern Luzon and look forward to working with our partners and stakeholders in the local government and community, in the continuing task of building up tourism, business growth and greater connectivity for the benefit of all Filipinos,” he said.
“By opening this new route, we are also expecting the economic growth that it will bring to our city and our province,” he said.
Cauayan City Mayor Caesar Dy Jr. said the city is a jump point of tourism in the northeastern part of the Philippines.
