Regional boutique airline AirSWIFT resumed direct flights between El Nido and Cebu on December 3, GMR MEGAWIDE Cebu Airport Corporation (GMCAC) and the Mactan-Cebu International Airport Authority (MCIAA) announced.

On-board the ATR 72-600 aircraft, AirSWIFT flies between the two destinations twice weekly on Monday and Friday.

Flight T6-336 departs from El Nido at 1:00 pm and arrives in 2:30 pm. The return flight, T6-337 then leaves Cebu at 3:10 pm and returns to El Nido at 4:40 pm.

“We are pleased by the resumption of AirSwift’s Cebu-El Nido service. For us, it indicates that the recovery of travel and tourism in the Philippines, especially in smaller yet no less impressive destinations such as El Nido is well underway,” GMCAC President Louie Ferrer said.

“We at MCIA continue to promote safe and responsible tourism while helping to reinvigorate the local economies of Cebu and Palawan through the reopening of this route,” he continued.

“As we slowly reopen the economy through the resumption of domestic flights like the Cebu-El Nido services of AirSwift, we remind our passengers to continue observing the minimum public health standards to ensure the health and safety of everyone,” MCIAA General Manager Julius G. Neri, Jr. said.

Aside from Cebu, AirSWIFT operates direct flights from El Nido to Manila, Clark, Caticlan, Coron, and Bohol-Panglao.
