The Department of Tourism (DOT) is looking forward to open up the new Iloilo Airport for international flights, initially to Hong Kong and Singapore, by the last quarter of 2012.
DOT 6 officer-in-charge, Atty. Helen Catalbas confirmed that Cebu Pacific has already agreed to accommodate flights from Iloilo to Hong Kong and Singapore.
Catalbas said that the airport was being prepared to host international flights that will serve Western Visayas and its neighboring regions.
The airport, she said, would serve as a hub for domestic flights from General Santos City and Puerto Princesa, with connecting flights to Singapore and Hong Kong, instead of traveling to Metro Manila.
The international flights, she said, would aid in the promotion of more tourist destinations in Iloilo and other provinces like Roxas City, Capiz , Guimaras, Northern Antique, and Southern Iloil, which are now being developed by their respective local governments.
