Flag carrier Philippine Airlines (PAL) has commenced flight PR2487 which flew from Cotabato City to Tawi-Tawi with 178 passengers, linking for the first time the Bangsamoro capital with the remotest island province, with A320 aircraft every Tuesday and Thursday.
The pioneer route was supposed to open last November 2021 but due to covid19 travel restrictions, the launch was postponed twice.
This will be the airlines first missionary route opened in Mindanao since 1987, cutting travel time to the island province to 45 minutes from one day travel time.
This missionary route is supported by the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) government, in partnership with Mindanao Development Authority Minda).
PAL also connects Tawi-Tawi to Zamboanga City.
