AirPhil to Launch Flights to Surigao

Air Philippines (AirPhil), the low-cost carrier of the Lucio Tan Group, is to launch flights to Surigao now it has turned over its Ozamiz City operations to its sister company, Philippine Airlines.

AirPhil decided to leave Ozamiz after observing the city's rapid economic expansion that requires bigger aircraft to accommodate the growing volume of air travelers and cargo.

With PAL's return to Ozamiz after an absence of 11 years, travelers can now enjoy PAL's full-service amenities on ground and onboard its brand-new Airbus A319-100 aircraft. This includes PAL's Mabuhay class where passengers are served hot meals during the one-hour-25-minute flight from Manila and vice versa.

AirPhil will start daily jet services between Manila and Surigao starting July 1, 2009. Flights from Manila will depart 8:45 am, arriving Surigao at 10:15 am. The return flight leaves Surigao airport at 10:45 am and lands in Manila 12:15 pm. AirPhil operates at the new Terminal 3.
