>> Saturday, November 5, 2022
BAGUIO CITY -- Mayor
Benjamin B. Magalong tasked the Baguio City Police Office, City Tourism Office
and the Traffic and Transportation Management Division of the City Engineering
Office to start planning a transportation scheme ensuring smooth flow of
traffic to and from the Loakan Airport including adjoining roads and streets.
The mayor gave his order Friday, October 28 during management committee meeting of city department heads after the Philippine Airlines announced its target to operate direct flights between Baguio and Cebu City beginning December 16, 2022.
PAL announced the following schedule of domestic flights:
*PR 2230 Cebu-Baguio - every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday- departing Mactan Cebu Airport at 08:50 AM, arriving at Baguio Loakan Airport at 10:50 AM; and,
*PR 2231 Baguio-Cebu - every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday - departing at Baguio at 11:10 AM, arriving in Cebu at 01:00 PM
PAL is yet to announce when bookings will be accepted through its website at www.philippineairlines.com.
In the past months, the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) and the Department of Transportation (DOTR) fast-tracked the rehabilitation of the Loakan Airport to meet the target reopening of commercial flights by Christmas time.
The mayor is thankful to DOTR Secretary Jaime Bautista for the agency’s commitment in improving the airport to strengthen the city government’s economic recovery and sustainability efforts from the pandemic.
Earlier this month, the CAAP disallowed human and vehicular traffic across the runway for safety reasons while technical rehabilitation works are ongoing. – JMPS
