Sky Pasada cuts 10-hour Manila-Baguio road trip

BAGUIO CITY - Sky Pasada, the lone air carrier that serviced the Summer Capital last year, officially touches high ground as it stations its new LET 410 UVP-E aircraft today at the Loakan Airport to commence its Baguio Flights starting Sept. 23.

This is very timely with the hassle of the ongoing road repairs along the Mac Arthur Highway (Manila North Road) in Tarlac and Pangasinan and along Marcos Highway and Kennon Road which resulted to a dragging eight to ten hour trip to Baguio. The burden of tourists coming to Baguio is now relieved with the resumption of Sky Pasada flights to Baguio.

Sky Pasada will connect Baguio to the Manila, Tuguegarao and Batanes with twice-per-week flights which will service tourists and local passengers. Conversations with Baguio hotels and tour operators view the recent development a great help to boost Baguio’s Tourism Industry.

With Baguio now accessible via air travel, tourists can now reach Baguio in 45 minutes from NAIA Terminal 4 (Old Domestic Airport) to Loakan Airport. This is a great relief considering the grueling land travel which was made worst by road repairs. To add insult to the injury, bus companies are now charging additional fares to compensate the added travel time of their buses.

Sky Pasada offers airfares for as low as P1,998 for their Manila to Baguio flight, 1,995Php for Baguio to Tuguegarao and Baguio-Batanes for P5,285.

“We hope that the people of Baguio will patronize Sky Pasada as a more convenient and safe mode of transport to and from Manila,” according to Capt. Ramon V. Guico, Sky Pasada President and CEO. “Join us in promoting air travel and improve the image of Baguio as a more accessible to tourists.”

Sky Pasada’s aircraft landed at the Loakan Airport from Tuguegarao City at 1pm Friday.

The 19-seater LET 410 UVP-E that will service Baguio is a new aircraft acquired by Sky Pasada this year from Czechoslovakia. It meets all the safety standards with its additional emergency exits and TCAS 2 instrument necessary in meeting FAA requirements.

The aircraft was specifically purchased to service Baguio to ensure that all safety measures will be met.

As an addition to their services, Sky Pasada have partnered with Baguio Travel Agencies and Hotel establishments to provide their clients with easy and convenient ticket issuance. For booking and reservations, you can go online through www.skypasada.com or call (074) 305.1633.
