COTABATO CITY, May 16 – Budget carrier Cebu Pacific Air reopened Tuesday its Cotabato-Cebu-Cotabato flights to serve the people of two provinces in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) and two others in Region 12.

Present during the relaunching of the flight held at the Cotabato Airport at around 10 a.m. were ARMM Gov. Mujiv Hataman, ARMM-Tourism Secretary Ayesha Dilangalen and other regional and provincial officials as business leaders.

“This is an opportunity for the ARMM tourism industry to flourish,” Dilangalen.

Cebu pacific will serve the route four times a week.

Charo Lugamon, Cebu Pacific-Cotabato spokesperson, said the airline decided to reopen the route due to the rising demand, especially among local officials and business people.

Dilangalen said the new route will also make the region accessible to tourists from the Visayas.

Air travelers from Maguindanao and Lanao del Sur, both in the ARMM region, and the provinces of North Cotabato and Sultan Kudarat, both in Region 12, are expected to take the route via Awang Airport, commonly known as Cotabato Airport.
